JAVASCRIPT DOM / CHAPTER 04 / Learn / LESSON 03
textContent reads or sets an element's visible text (no HTML tags). For lessons use textContent — not innerHTML (risks and surprises).
Assign: el.textContent = "Rent". Read: const t = el.textContent.
Mini example:
const label = document.querySelector("#label"); label.textContent = "Rent";
Common mistake: expecting textContent to run HTML; or forgetting the assignment (=).
<span id="label">Food</span><span id="keep">ok</span>textContent sets visible text.
Press Run — HTML loads in a sandbox iframe; Stop removes the iframe (also kills infinite loops).
