Insert html using jquery .html()

Question

I want to insert a large chunk of html into a pre-existing . I am using this method:

 $(\"td#content\").html(LOTS_OF_HTML_CODE_HERE);
         


        

Answer 1

I would suggest unifying the html into one string... like so.

htmlStr = "";
htmlStr += "
some paragraph";
htmlStr += "
another paragaraph
";

$("#content").html(htmlStr);

this way you can see where your html is breaking down and it adds a lot of readability to javascript created content.

Also...

if there is content in this TD that you'd like to keep, I would use the append() jquery method.
