<HTMLElement>.appendText()

Appends a new Text node to the parent element (as the last child element).

Usage:

HTMLElement = Element.appendText(text)

Member of:

HTMLElement

Parameter:

text – the text to add (required).

Returns:

The HTMLElement it was called on, thus allowing for command chaining.

Notes:

• This function encodes HTML special characters (<, >, &, " and ') before creating the text node, thus HTML code passed as parameter will be displayed as text rather than parsed into a DOM structure. If you want to parse HTML code, please use the .setHtml() function instead.

Examples

let foo = document.getElementById('foo');
foo.appendText('Hello world!');
