What is jQuery html() method?
The jQuery html() method is the built-in jquery method, which is used to set or get the innerHTML content of the selected elements.
When we use the .html() method to get the HTML content, then it returns the HTML content only for the first matched element.
For example, if we have multiple p tag or div tags whose content we try to get using the .html() method, then it returns only the first matched element content and not all other same name elements.
But when we use .html() method to set the HTML content, then it set HTML content for all matched elements. This means html() method replaces the innerHTML for all the selected element.
