Add text after first element

Question

I tried to add text after the first children, without success

<a href="#" name="usernameMenu" class="dropdown-toggle" data-toggle="dropdown" role="button">
    <span class="glyphicon glyphicon-user"></span>add text here
    <span class="caret"></span>
</a>

I tried some command.

My last one

$('a[name="usernameMenu"] span:eq(0)').after().append("add text here");

I get

<a href="#" name="usernameMenu" class="dropdown-toggle" data-toggle="dropdown" role="button">
    <span class="glyphicon glyphicon-user">add text here</span>
    <span class="caret"></span>
</a>

Just remove .append

Try like this

$('a[name="usernameMenu"] span:eq(0)').after("add text here");
