[jQuery] Re: How to add html do a div properly? (html(), val(), or text() ?)

[Rik Lomas]

As Pierre says, html() will add full html whereas text() will turn any
tags into entities, for example:

$('div').html('<b>bold</b>'); will output <b>bold</b> into the DOM, whereas
$('div').text('<b>bold</b>'); will output &lt;b&gt;bold&lt;/b&gt; -
which is the string version of the HTML - into the DOM
