jquery $('id').text with Bold

Question

I have a jquery that changes the text of a link like so:

if (urlfind > 0) {
    $('#linkurl').text('More info');
}

And html:

<a href = "" id = "linkurl"></a>

I am trying to add bold to this link, but adding <b>More Info</b> leaves them escaped in the text itself, rather than making the text bold

Answer 1

.html() sets string as HTML content, whereas .text() sets the string as text.

Write:

if (urlfind > 0) {
    $('#linkurl').html('<b>More info</b>');
}

OR

if (urlfind > 0) {
    $('#linkurl').html('<strong>More info</strong>');
}

.html() .text()
