Question

I am trying to insert a breakline (<br />) after every textbox on click of a button using the below code :

HTML:

<input type="text" id="text1" /><b>This is test</b>
<br />
<button>New line</button>

Jquery:

$(document).ready(function(){
$("button").click(function(){
$("#text1").append("<br />");
});
});

I am getting the following error in the console

Message: Object doesn’t support this property or method

Please let me know how I can achieve this.

Answer 1

use after() instead of append.
