What is jquery's equivelant to echo in php??

Hi, I grabbed a value from a form and put it into a var:

$('#submit').click(function() {
var name = new String($('form: #name').val());
});

I want to display this value in a div on my page. . . but I cannot figure how to do that. I tried document.write a few times, but either that does not work with jquery or I am doing it wrong. Anyone know how to display variables in jquery??

$("#divId").html(varname);

This is append :

you div like this :

<div id="your_div_id"></div>

So :

$('#submit').click(function() {
      var name = $('#name').val();
      //$("#your_div_id").innerHTML(name);
      $("#your_div_id").append(name);
});

Open in new window

The only two that worked slighty were:

$('#submit').click(function() {
var name = $('#name').val();
$("#name1").html(name);
});

and

$('#submit').click(function() {
var name = $('#name').val();
$("#name1").append(name);
});

Ok, but its having a strange affect. It shows on the page while its loading but then once its done loading or transmitting data its gone! Its like it flashes on the page for 2 seconds, then nothing!! ?????
