    jQuery – difference between html() and text()

    By admin on Dec 1, 2015

    Jquery can be used to set content on and element (div, etc.) using text() and html() methods. Methods text(content) will first convert the content using html entities and set in that element. Here is code snippet and its outcome to explain the difference.

    Setting values using jQuery text() and html()

    Code example to set value in div using text() and html():

    <script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.4/jquery.min.js"></script>
    <div id=id1>id1</div>
    <div id=id2>id2</div>
    <script type="text/javascript">
      $(function() {
        $("#id1").html('id1: <a href="/">infoheap</a>');
        $("#id2").text('id2: <a href="/">infoheap</a>');
      });
    </script>
    refresh done
    try it online

    Reading values using jQuery text() and html()

    Code example to read value in div using text() and html():

    <script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.4/jquery.min.js"></script>
    <div id=id3>hello <span>world</span></div>
    <script type="text/javascript">
      $(function() {
        console.log($("#id3").text());
        console.log($("#id3").html());
      });
    </script>
    try it online

    Here is the outcome (console log) from this code:

    hello world
    hello <span>world</span>
