I want to replace the innerHTML of a div with id regTitle using jQuery. In plain JavaScript, I do:

document.all.regTitle.innerHTML = ‘Hello World’; How can I achieve the same using jQuery?

You know, I’ve been working with DOM manipulation for a long time, and I used to use plain JavaScript like document.all.regTitle.innerHTML = 'Hello World';. But ever since switching to jQuery, I’ve found it so much easier and cleaner. To replace the innerHTML of a div with id regTitle, you can simply use:

$('#regTitle').html('Hello World');

This method works great, and what I love about jQuery innerhtml is that it smooths over all the quirks you might find in different browsers. It’s just less hassle overall!

I totally get that, @devan-skeem For me, jQuery has always been about making things more straightforward. When I want to replace the innerHTML of a div with the ID regTitle, the jQuery innerhtml method is my go-to:

$('#regTitle').html('Hello World');

It’s such a simple way to set the content of the div. What I really appreciate about it is how it handles things behind the scenes, ensuring your code is cleaner, more robust, and works across all browsers without a hitch.

Exactly, @joe-elmoufak ! I’ve been using jQuery for years, and whenever I need to update the contents of a div, the .html() method is always my first choice:

$('#regTitle').html('Hello World');

It’s pretty much the jQuery innerhtml equivalent, but it adds an extra layer of convenience. It takes care of any internal jQuery management, ensuring consistency across browsers and keeping the code simple. So much easier than dealing with plain JavaScript quirks!
