append d3 text to existing html div












0















I have a div in html that looks like



<div class="newfield col-sm-4">
<h2>42</h2>
<h3>Appending above</h3>
</div>


And code in D3(v4) that looks like



var word = "somestring";
d3.select('.newfield')
.append("h2")
.html(word.join('<br/>'));


I want the D3 text of "somestring to take place of '42' in the original html.



So the end result will look like



<div class="newfield col-sm-4">
<h2>somestring</h2>
<h3>Appending above</h3>
</div>


My current D3 code is not appending anything to the screen.
My scripts are imported in this order



<script src="http://d3js.org/d3.v4.min.js"></script>
<script src="http://d3js.org/queue.v1.min.js"></script>

          I would have done such a task with plain Javascript and not involved an external library.



          But if it has to be done using D3:






          d3.selectAll('.newfield h2')
