19.2 jQuery HTML

jQuery was created in 2006 by John Resig. It was designed to handle Browser Incompatibilities and to simplify HTML DOM Manipulation, Event Handling, Animations, and Ajax.
For more than 10 years, jQuery has been the most popular JavaScript library in the world.
However, after JavaScript Version 5 (2009), most of the jQuery utilities can be solved with a few lines of standard JavaScript:

Set Text Content

Set the inner text of an HTML element:

myElement.text("Hello Sweden!");

myElement.textContent = "Hello Sweden!";

Get the inner text of an HTML element:

myText = $("#02").text();

myText = document.getElementById("02").textContent;

Set the HTML content of an element:

myElement.html("<p>Hello World</p>");

myElement.innerHTML = "<p>Hello World</p>";

Get the HTML content of an element:

content = myElement.html();

content = myElement.innerHTML;

Eventually the navigation links, above, will be replaced by these << (previous) and >> (next) buttons below.
