createTextNode method

The createTextNode method creates a new text node. In the parameter, the method receives the data to be inserted into the new text node.

Example

Let's make a new text node in a document:

<div id="parent">
	<div class="elem">
		<p>text1</p>
		<p>text2</p>
	</div>
</div>

let parent = document.getElementById('parent');
let elem = parent.querySelector('.elem');

let text = document.createTextNode('text3');
parent.appendChild(text);

The code execution result:

<div id="parent">
	<div class="elem">
		<p>text1</p>
		<p>text2</p>
		<p>text3</p>
	</div>
