jquery .text doesn't render HTML elements into the DOM

Question

I am loading a list of images into a div with the following bit of jQuery :

                var jewellerDdl = \"<%= JewellerDropDownList.ClientID %>\";         


        

Answer 1

Try this instead:

$("#divEntryDisplay").html(result.d);

Answer 2

You should indeed use the html method (cf. documentation here : http://docs.jquery.com/Attributes/html)

Which makes your function look like this:

 function AjaxSucceeded(result) {
    $("#divEntryDisplay").html(result.d);
 }

Answer 3

If you insert HTML code into the DOM, then you must use the html() method, not the text() method.
