How to add text to an existing div with jquery

Question

I want to add text to an existing div, when I click the Button with the id #add. But this is not working.

Here my code:

Answer 1

You need to define the button text and have valid HTML for the button. I would also suggest using .on for the click handler of the button

$(function () {
  $('#Add').on('click', function () {
    $('
Text
').appendTo('#Content');
  });
});

    Add Text

Also I would make sure the jquery is at the bottom of the page just before the closing tag. Doing so will make it so you do not have to have the whole thing wrapped in $(function but I would still do that. Having your javascript load at the end of the page makes it so the rest of the page loads incase there is a slow down in your javascript somewhere.
