How to set outerHTML with jQuery

Question

I have a UserControl. Ex:

<div id="divItem">
some html
</div>

The ajax request return new html of this UC from server. Ex:

<div id="divItem">
    new html
</div>

I want to replace the old html by the new one. How could I do that?

Answer 1

hello @kartik,

This is innterHTML because it's inside the div called divItem. It also looks like you want to replace the existing text (?)

If your returned new html is in a variable called results, you do this:

$('#divItem').html(results);

Thank You!!
