Turn a string of HTML code into actual HTML

Question

So imagine I received this string back from my server:

'<h1>hello everyone</h1>'

How can I turn this string into actual HTML that I can insert into my document?

Try it:

var response = '<h1>hello everyone</h1>';
document.getElementById('localContainer').innerHTML = response;
// or
document.write(response);

<div id="localContainer"></div>

Thanks for the response, but that doesn't work with HTML strings. I tried the link to the other post and tried it with div.insertAdjacentHTML and that worked – tilly Jun 13 '18 at 12:34
