The different is .html() evaluate as a html, .text() avaluate as a text.
Consider a block of html

    This is a div container
    

      
Link 1
      
Link 2
    
    a text after ul

JS

var out1 = $('#mydiv').html();
var out2 = $('#mydiv').text();
console.log(out1) // This output all the html tag
console.log(out2) // This is output just the text 'This is a div container Link 1 Link 2 a text after ul'
