Adding text to an existing text element in JavaScript via DOM

The reason that appendChild is not a function is because you're executing it on the textContent of your p element.

You instead just need to select the paragraph itself, and then append your new text node to that:

var paragraph = document.getElementById("p");var text = document.createTextNode("This just got added");
paragraph.appendChild(text);

<p id="p">This is some text</p>

Appending large block of html with append()

Remove the line breaks.

var large = '<div class="accordian_container"><a href="#" class="accordian_trigger"><h4>Co-Borrower Information</h4></a><hr/><div class="accordian_item" id="accord_item_2"><label> First Name</label><br/><input type="text"/><br/><label>Middle Name</label><br/><input type="text"/><br/><label>Last Name</label><br/><input type="text" /><br/><label>Home Number</label><br/><input type="text"/><br><label>Work Number</label><br/><input type="text"/><br><label>Cell Number</label><br/><input type="text"/><br></div></div>';

$('#accordion_container').append(large);

insert content into div from textarea Javascript

First of all you shouldn't create html elements manually since they would be XSS vulnerable and read about escaping mechanics to prevent malicious code being injected.
Try using document.createElement('div'); method to create div with valid innerText.

later use method:

 innerDiv.appendChild(createdElement);

To append element.

You could create builder to build html elements you need and you have to htmlEncode text that will be inside of div element.

const sendButton = document.getElementById('send-btn');const textArea = document.getElementById('input');const innerDiv = document.getElementById('inner');var message = textArea.value;
sendButton.addEventListener('click', function () {    const message = new MessageContainerBuilder().BuildMessage(textArea.value);    innerDiv.appendChild(message);    textArea.value = '';});
function encodeHtmlEntity(input) {    var output = input.replace(/[\u00A0-\u9999<>\&]/gim, function (i) {        return '&#' + i.charCodeAt(0) + ';';    });
    return output;}
function MessageContainerBuilder() {    var createDivElement = function (classTest) {        var div = document.createElement('div');
        var classAttr = document.createAttribute('class');        classAttr.value = classTest;        div.setAttributeNode(classAttr);
        return div;    };
    var createSpanElement = function (value, classTest) {        var span = document.createElement('span');
        if (classTest) {            var classAttr = document.createAttribute('class');            classAttr.value = classTest;            span.setAttributeNode(classAttr);        }
        span.innerText = encodeHtmlEntity(value);
        return span;    };
    this.BuildMessage = function (text) {        var divContainer = createDivElement('outgoing');        var messageSpan = createSpanElement(text, 'me');
        divContainer.appendChild(messageSpan);
        return divContainer;    };}

<div id="inner">    <div class="incoming">        <div class="them">Lorem        </div>    </div>    <div class="outgoing">        <div class="me">Lorem ipsum        </div>    </div></div> 
<textarea class="input" id="input" placeholder="Message..."></textarea><button class="waves-effect waves-light" id="send-btn">Send</button>

How to append text to div using ID in javascript?

var writecity = document.createTextNode(city);
document.getElementById("mylist").appendChild(writecity);

This should work.

Basically, you only append other DOM Node (as child) to DOM Nodes. so you use document.createTextNode() to create node and document.appendChild() to add it as a child to existing node.

How do I add text to specific div element using jQuery?

Several possible alternatives

Others have provided their answers already but let me give you some more alternatives.

$("span.test:first").text("Welcome");
$("#first span.test").text("Welcome");
$("span.test").first().text("Welcome");
$("span.test").eq(0).text("Welcome");
$("span.test", "#first").text("Welcome");

The second and last one likely being the fastest because they target particular container by ID.

^{(internal jQuery optimisations may prove me wrong with any future version)}

Performance comparison

Here's a JSPerf test that performance compares upper possibilities. As anticipated, the second and last approaches are the fastest of all because element selection is much simplified. I've tried running them on Chrome and you may run them in other browsers if you want to and see differences.

jQuery add text to span within a div

You can use:

$("#tagscloud span").text("Your text here");

The same code will also work for the second case. You could also use:

$("#tagscloud #WebPartCaptionWPQ2").text("Your text here");
