$('#display).text() returning as [object%20Object]

I'm trying to get what's inside a <div> with ID of display using

$("#display").after(html);
var testxd = $("#display").text();
window.location.replace("test.php?v="+testxd);

and all I get is a BLANK. I Help?

Here is div display:

<div id="display" style="display: none;"></div>

I know the ID is in the because the ID shows up during after(html);

I think you meant append, not after. You're adding content after #display, not into it.

This means that your <div> in fact remains empty, so of course .text() returns an empty string.

There is no text inside the <div id="display"></div> so blank is the result.

If you had

<div id="display">foo</div>

then you would get "foo" from $("#display").text();
