jquery .text doesn’t render HTML elements into the DOM

I have an AJAX function pulling an <img> tag from the server. My problem is, when I set the .text() property of a span on the page to that <img> tag, the HTML is not rendered. Rather, it just displays the tag as text.

Here is my code:

// jQuery
$.ajax({
  url: 'forms/scripts/getStatus.php',
  dataType: 'json',
  type: 'POST',
  data: {
      subfolderID:rowID
  },
  async: false,
  success: function(data){
      if(data.errorsExist == "Y"){
          alert(data.appError);
      }
      else{
          $("#trackStatus").text(data.status);    
      } 
  },
  error: function(){
      alert("Error! Could not retrieve tracking status");
  }
});

My HTML:

<td><span id="trackStatus"></span></td>

How can I get the img tag to render as HTML? Maybe I shouldn't be using a span with the .text() method...?

</div>

use .html() instead of .text()

That's the purpose of the text function :

We need to be aware that this method escapes the string provided as necessary so that it will render correctly in HTML.

Use the html function instead :

$("#trackStatus").html(data.status);

.text() escapes HTML. .html() does not, so use .html().
