Stop Displaying HTML As Text

[slj90]

$('input#name-submit').on('click', function() {
var name = $('input#name').val();
if ($.trim(name) != '') {
$.post('play2.php', {name: name}, function(data) {
$('div#name-data').text(data);
});
}
});

data contains html code but when it is displayed it is displayed as text and shows the html, how can I get the html code to function properly?

 

thanks

Try to use .html() instead of .text()
