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

$('.div').html(val) will set the HTML values of all selected elements, $('.div').text(val) will set the text values of all selected elements.

API docs for jQuery.text()

API docs for jQuery.html()

I would guess that they correspond to Node#textContent and Element#innerHTML, respectively. (Gecko DOM references).
