title: Using jQuery to echo text
body: <p>Is it possible to use jQuery to echo text in place of a script tag? More precisely, is there a way to accomplish</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;
      document.write("foo");
  &lt;/script&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>... without the use of <code>document.write</code>? I am not happy about using <code>document.write</code> after reading <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/802854/why-is-document-write-considered-a-bad-practice">this</a>.</p>
  
  <p>I am aware that I could alternatively do this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;span id="container"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
  &lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;
      $("#container").text("foo");
  &lt;/script&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>However, I'm interested to see if there's a way to do it without using a container element, preferably using jQuery.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance!</p>
