jQuery - Appending a div to body the body is the object

Question

When I m adding a div to body  it s returning the body as the object and then whenever I use that - it s obviously using body  Bad   Code -  var holdyDiv      body   append  div      holdyDiv  attr  id    holdy      The  id  of holdy is now being added to body    eh  What am I doing wrong

Instead use use appendTo  append or appendTo returns a jQuery object so you don t have to wrap it inside       var holdyDiv       lt div   gt    appendTo  body    holdyDiv attr  id    holdy       appendTo   reference  http   api jquery com appendTo   Alernatively you can try this also       lt div   gt      id   holdy     appendTo  body                                   Here you can specify any attribute value pair you want
