HTML - Which element to output text?
- by Oliver Weiler
I'm implementing a little chat application where I receive messages from a server, which I would like to display to a user. As I'm more of a backend guy, and lacking experience in frontend development, I don't know which element would be suited best to output the text.
Two options come to my mind:
Using a plain div
Using a textarea (as far as I understand, this is intended to be used for input).
(Would also be nice if I could somehow fade in the text using JQuery).
