1. Difference between append() and html() in jQuery
S.No jQuery.append() jQuery.html()
1 .append() add some value with .html() do the same as like
the existing one. .append() but it removes the old
value.
Here is an example given to understand the practical difference between .append() and
.html(),
<ul id="test">
<li>test</li>
</ul>
Now if .append() is used to add one <li>,as given below
<script type="text/javascript>" jQuery("#test").append("<li>test1</li>"); </script>
The output of this jQuery will be <ul id="test"> <li>test</li> <li>test1</li> </ul>
Now if .html() is used to add one <li>,as provided below
<script type="text/javascript>" jQuery("#test").html("<li>test1</li>"); </script>
The output of this Script will be <ul id="test"> <li>test1</li> </ul>
Here in this example .append() add one extra <li>, whether .html() removes the old one
with new one. This is the main difference between .append() and .html() in Jquery
