What is jQuery methods for DOM manipulation?

Get Content - text(), html(), and val()

Three simple, but useful, jQuery methods for DOM manipulation are:

• text() - Sets or returns the text content of selected elements
• html() - Sets or returns the content of selected elements (including HTML markup)
• val() - Sets or returns the value of form fields

The following example demonstrates how to get content with the jQuery text() and html() methods:

Example

$("#btn1").click(function(){
    alert("Text: " + $("#test").text());
});
$("#btn2").click(function(){
    alert("HTML: " + $("#test").html());
});
