0	*html(content) method replaces the contents of the element while replaceWith(content) method literally replaces the original element along with it's contents .* Let us understand the concept with an example <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.3/jquery.min.js"></script> <script> $(document).ready(function(){ $('#btn1').click(function(){ $('#myspan').html('This is a <i>italic text</i>.This is another <i>italic text</i>.'); }); $('#btn2').click(function(){ $('#myspan').replaceWith('This is a <i>italic text</i>.This is another <i>italic text</i>.'); }); }); </script> </head> <body> <button id="btn1">Exampleof html(Content)</button> <button id="btn2">Exampleof replaceWith(Content)</button> <span id="myspan">This is a <b>bold text</b>.This is another <b>bold text</b>.</span> </body> </html> When we click on the "Exampleof html(Content)" button , the output becomes <span id="myspan">This is a <i>italic text</i>.This is another <i>italic text</i>.</span> This indicates that the *inner html content of the span tag has been replaced* . When we click on the "Exampleof replaceWith(Content)" button , the output becomes *This is a <i>italic text</i>.This is another <i>italic text</i>.* This indicates that the original span tag along with it's contents has been replaced.

html(content) method replaces the contents of the element while replaceWith(content) method literally replaces the original element along with it's contents .

Let us understand the concept with an example

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.3/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
    $('#btn1').click(function(){
        $('#myspan').html('This is a <i>italic text</i>.This is another <i>italic text</i>.');
    });

    $('#btn2').click(function(){
        $('#myspan').replaceWith('This is a <i>italic text</i>.This is another <i>italic text</i>.');
    });
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<button id="btn1">Exampleof html(Content)</button>
<button id="btn2">Exampleof replaceWith(Content)</button>

<span id="myspan">This is a <b>bold text</b>.This is another <b>bold text</b>.</span>

</body>
</html>

When we click on the "Exampleof html(Content)" button , the output becomes

<span id="myspan">This is a <i>italic text</i>.This is another <i>italic text</i>.</span>

This indicates that the inner html content of the span tag has been replaced .

When we click on the "Exampleof replaceWith(Content)" button , the output becomes

This is a <i>italic text</i>.This is another <i>italic text</i>.

This indicates that the original span tag along with it's contents has been replaced.

Hope this helps.
