Change Text with Click Events

When a click event happens, we can use Ajax to update an HTML element with the following code:

$(".message").html("Here is the message");

This tells jQuery to use the class message as the selector and to that, change the HTML to have the string provide, we can also add custom html elements wrapped in quotation marks.
