My HTML is somewhat like this:
<div id="selector">Hello World</div>
Now I’d like to append some text to this div. I know that I could simply use
$ ('#selector').append(text);
but this wouldn’t escape any special characters in text. Another way is to wrap the text in a span:
$ ('#selector').append( $ ('<span>').text(text) );
But this is ugly, because it creates unnecessary markup. So my current solution is to manually create a TextNode:
$ ('#selector').append( document.createTextNode(text) );
I was wondering whether there is any jQuery-style way to do this?
