How to print div content using jQuery?


Let’s say we have the following button −

<input type='button' id='buttonId' value='Press Me To print the data'>

On click of the above button, call the function() with on() −

$('#buttonId').on('click', function () {
   displayTheData();
})

The above function is using the html() to display the following div −

<div id='printThisDivIdOnButtonClick'>
   <p>I am inside the div tag...</p>
</div>

Example

Following is the complete code to print div content −
