How to .append text to a div using jQuery?
Question
I'm trying to append a piece of text to a div using jQuery. I try to do this using the following code:
<html><head></head><body>
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.0/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#sendButton").click(function(){
$("#conversation").append("<P>This is a message");
});
});
</script>
<div class="conversation"><p>some message</div>
<form><input type="button" id="sendButton" value="Send Message"></form>
</body></html>
Seeing the multitude of tutorials on the subject it seems to be such a simple thing to do, but I can't seem to figure out what I'm doing wrong here. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You need to use class selector , As #conversation referes to element with id conversation
$(".conversation").append("<P>aergerag");
EDIT
You should look at this To Close or Not To Close Tags in HTML5 and a good question Closing tags in HTML5

replace # with . in your selector ( conversation is a CLASS )
$(".conversation").append("<P>aergerag");
