Here s another technique for creating divs with jQuery   ELEMENT CLONING  Say you have an existing div in your page that you want to clone using jQuery  e g  to duplicate an input a number of times in a form    You would do so as follows    x000D   x000D      clone button   click function     x000D        clone wrapper div first   x000D     clone   x000D     append  clone   x000D     appendTo     clone wrapper     x000D      x000D   lt script src  https   ajax googleapis com ajax libs jquery 2 1 1 jquery min js  gt  lt  script gt  x000D   lt div id  clone wrapper  gt  x000D     lt div gt  x000D      Div x000D     lt  div gt  x000D   lt  div gt  x000D   x000D   lt button id  clone button  gt Clone me  lt  button gt  x000D   x000D   x000D

I ve just made a small jQuery plugin for that   It follows your syntax   var myDiv     create  div      DOM node ID can be specified as second parameter   var secondItem     create  div   item2      Is it serious  No  But this syntax is better than     lt div gt  lt  div gt     and it s a very good value for that money    Answer partially copied from  jQuery document createElement equivalent

Create an in-memory DIV      lt div  gt       Add click handlers  styles etc - and finally insert into DOM into a target element selector    x000D   x000D      lt div  gt      x000D   x000D       PROPERTIES HERE x000D     x000D    text   Click me   x000D    id   example   x000D     class    myDiv             class  is still better in quotes  x000D    css               x000D      color   red   x000D      fontSize   3em   x000D      cursor   pointer  x000D       x000D    on    x000D      mouseenter  function     x000D        console log  PLEASE         this  text     x000D         x000D      click  function     x000D        console log  Hy  My ID is     this id   x000D        x000D       x000D    append    lt i gt    lt  i gt    x000D    appendTo   body          Finally  append to any selector x000D     x000D          lt  lt  no need to do anything here as we defined the properties internally  x000D   lt script src    ajax googleapis com ajax libs jquery 2 1 1 jquery min js  gt  lt  script gt  x000D   x000D   x000D    Similar to ian s answer  but I found no example that properly addresses the use of methods within the properties object declaration so there you go

You can use  add   to create a new jQuery object and add to the targeted element  Use chaining then to proceed further   For eg jQueryApi     x000D   x000D      div    css   border    2px solid red    x000D     add   p    x000D     css   background    yellow     x000D   div   x000D      width  60px  x000D      height  60px  x000D      margin  10px  x000D      float  left  x000D      x000D   lt script src  https   ajax googleapis com ajax libs jquery 2 1 1 jquery min js  gt  lt  script gt  x000D   lt div gt  lt  div gt  x000D   lt div gt  lt  div gt  x000D   lt div gt  lt  div gt  x000D   lt div gt  lt  div gt  x000D   lt div gt  lt  div gt  x000D   lt div gt  lt  div gt  x000D   x000D   x000D

How about this  Here  pElement refers to the element you want this div inside  to be a child of          pElement   append   lt div gt  lt  div      You can easily add anything more to that div in the string - Attributes  Content  you name it  Do note  for attribute values  you need to use the right quotation marks

User · Answer

alternatively to append   you can also use appendTo   which has a different syntax        foo   append   lt div gt hello world lt  div gt         lt div gt hello world lt  div gt    appendTo   foo

As of jQuery 1 4 you can pass attributes to a self-closed element like so   jQuery   lt div  gt          id   some-id        class    some-class       title   now this div has a title      appendTo   mySelector      Here it is in the Docs  Examples can be found at jQuery 1 4 Released  The 15 New Features you Must Know

If you are using Jquery   1 4  you are best of with  Ian s answer  Otherwise  I would use this method   This is very similar to celoron s answer  but  I don t know why they used document createElement instead of Jquery notation       body   append function            return     lt div  gt    html  I m a freshly created div  I also contain some Ps                 attr  id   myDivId                addClass  myDivClass                css  border    solid                                 append     lt p  gt    html  I think  therefore I am                  append     lt p  gt    html  The die is cast            Some style  for better demonstration if you want to try it out  Don t use this approach for actual design and layout     body   append     lt style  gt    html  p background-color blue  div background-color yellow  div gt p color white         I also think using append   with a callback function is in this case more readable  because you now immediately that something is going to be appended to the body  But that is a matter of taste  as always when writing any code or text   In general  use as less HTML as possible in JQuery code  since this is mostly spaghetti code  It is error prone and hard to maintain  because the HTML-String can easily contain typos  Also  it mixes a markup language  HTML  with a programming language  Javascript Jquery   which is usually a bad Idea

If it is just an empty div  this is sufficient       foo   append   lt div gt      or      foo   append   lt div  gt      It gives the same result

You can create separate tags using the  jquery   method  And create child tags by using the  append   method  As jQuery supports chaining  you can also apply CSS in two ways   Either specify it in the class or just call  attr     var lTag   jQuery   lt li  gt     appendTo   div class   html data productDisplayName    var aHref   jQuery   lt a  gt                 appendTo lTag  attr  href   data mediumImageURL    jQuery   lt img  gt                                                       appendTo aHref  attr  src   data mediumImageURL  attr  alt   data altText     Firstly I am appending a list tag to my div tag and inserting JSON data into it  Next  I am creating a child tag of list  provided some attribute  I have assigned the value to a variable  so that it would be easy for me to append it

Technically     lt div gt  lt  div gt    will  create  a div element  or more specifically a DIV DOM element  but won t add it to your HTML document  You will then need to use that in combination with the other answers to actually do anything useful with it  such as using the append   method or such like    The manipulation documentation gives you all the various options on how to add new elements
