    alert(submitter_name); // alerts correctly 
    $("#submittername").text(submitter_name); //but here it is not working  WHy so??????
});

Answer 1

You can do:

$("#submittername").text("testing");

or

$("#submittername").html("testing <b>1 2 3</b>");

Answer 2

You're looking for the wrong selector id:

 $("#submitter").text(submitter_name);

should be

 $("#submittername").text(submitter_name);
