I have JQuery tabs in the frontend, if I inspect one tab I have this:

<a id="dynautoRollAnchor1" href="#item1" style="font-size:13px" class="ui-tabs-anchor" role="presentation" tabindex="-1">
    <img src="someImage.png" class="tab-icon">
    1995
</a>

I'd like to replace the 1995 with another value (and keep the image). But if I execute this in the console:

$('#dynautoRollAnchor1:last-child').empty()

I will have this:

<a id="dynautoRollAnchor1" href="#item1" style="font-size:13px" class="ui-tabs-anchor" role="presentation" tabindex="-1">
</a>

So the image is gone...

Or how to replace the 1995 with let's say 2022 ?
