});

    console.log returns undefined... did you mean console.log($(this).html())? E refers to the index

  • console.log($(E.target).html()) would log the html. or console.log(E.target.innerHTML)

You need to use $(this).html() not (E).html(). Your code should look like this:



console.log($(this).html());


Demonstration:






$(".answer").text("Here we change the text");
$(".answer").click(function() {
console.log($(this).html());
});

<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.3.1.js"></script>
<div class="col answer">
some text
</div>

    Since this was also posted in Javascript here's a vanilla option to do the same:






    <div class="col answer">
    some text
    </div>

    <script>

    var x = document.getElementsByClassName("answer");
    var y;
    for (y = 0; y < x.length; y++) {
    x[y].innerHTML = "Here we change the text";
    }

    window.onload = function() {
    document.addEventListener('click', function (event) {
    var target = event.target;
    if(target.matches('.answer')){
    console.log(target.innerHTML);
    }
    }, false);
    }
    </script>

      Do you need innerHTML or text?? If you need text use .text() method.



      $(".answer").text("Here we change the text" );
      $(".answer").off().on('click',function() {
      console.log($(this).html());
      });

                        $(".answer").text("Here we change the text" );
                        $(".answer").off().on('click',function() {

                            Do you need innerHTML or text?? If you need text use .text() method.



                            $(".answer").text("Here we change the text" );
                            $(".answer").off().on('click',function() {
                            console.log($(this).html());
                            });
