What is the difference between jQuery: text() and html() ?

Question

What the difference between text() and html() functions in jQuery ?

$(\"#div\").html(\'Linkhello\         


        

Answer 1

The first example will actually embed HTML within the div whereas the second example will escape the text by means of replacing element-related characters with their corresponding character entities so that it displays literally (i.e. the HTML will be displayed not rendered).
