access text inside panel

[crosemffet]

hello everybody, and thanks in advance for your support.
I need to add some text inside panel (for chat application).
each time a new chat message is received, the panel should refresh its content adding the new message.
for the first message, I use:
$('#mypanel').panel({content: 'first message'});
this works ok.
the problem is, when a second message comes, I need to add it to the current content...
so, how should I write the code to add the new content to the existing one...?
or maybe gets the current content to add it in a variable, make the sum and then apply it...?
thanks for your support !.

You just need to call 'append' to append message.

Code:

$('<p>first message</p>').appendTo('#mypanel');
$('<p>second message</p>').appendTo('#mypanel');
