Your code to get element using attribute in jQuery looks fine to me

$('.GetQuote[data-id="' + id + '"]').closest('span').html('New HTML');

But please check if there is any <span> closest to the elemtn which you need, if it isn't it will throw error and will not work.

Here is the possible way to get element using data atrribute in jquery

1. $(".GetQuote").find("[data-id='" + current_id_value + "']");

2. $(".GetQuote[data-id='" + current_id_value +"']");
