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

What I would do is to put all of that HTML into a div as per:

LOTS OF HTML HERE

then when do this:

$("td#content").html($("#myHTML").html());

What could be the problem is line breaks. If you have a string (enclosed in "" or '') then you will find that line breaks will "break" your code... so you'll have to put all the HTML on one line.
