Hello, val() is for the form element ( input, select ), to get/set the value
html() is what i use to add small html inside an element. I use the append method when the html to add is huge. i have never used the text() method. I understand that the text() method is like a php:strip_tags function for getting the value and php:html_entities for setting.
