How to modify raphael text?

Question

After instantiating Raphael text like so

var t = paper.text(50, 50, "Raphaël
kicks
butt!");

how do I go about then modifying that text?

t.text = "test"; did not work for me.

You must use the .attr()^docs method to change the text of an existing text element

like this

t.attr('text','new text here');
