To set the HTML content of an element, use the html() method. You can try to run the following code to get HTML content of an element using jQuery −
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.2.1/jquery.min.js"></script> <script> $(document).ready(function(){ $("#button1").click(function(){ $("#demo").html("<strong>This text is highlighted.</strong>"); }); }); </script> </head> <body> <p id="demo">This is a paragraph.</p> <button id="button1">Click to set HTML</button> </body> </html>
