This is what i got so far

var express = require('express');
var app = express();

app.get('/data', function(req, res){
    res.send('hello world'); //replace with your data here
});

app.listen(8888);

the html 

<div id="test"></div>
<input type="button" id="but" value="Link">


<script>
    $(document).ready(function() {
        $('#but').click(function(){
            $.get('http://localhost:8888/data', {}, function(data){
                $("#test").append(data);
            });
        });
    });
</script>

I just want to display the hello world inside the div can somebody please help?

You can also change the div to have the class named test.

Also, in some systems, using the port 8888 doesn't work. Try 8080 instead.

.test is a class selector. It matches 0 elements because none of your elements are a member of that class.

You have <div id="test">. An id is not a class.

An ID selector uses #, not .
