将字符串转换为jquery元素并将其附加到DOM

Question

I'm trying to do what the title says with the following (admittedly terribly written) code:

$('.right').append($('<li class="btn log-out-button"><a data-method="delete" data-remote="true" format="json" href="' + data.log_out_path + '" class="standout-primary" rel="no-follow>Sign Out</a></li>

I can't for the life of me figure out what I'm doing wrong with it, but all that shows up is the following HTML:

<li class="btn log-out-button></li>

Why is it ignoring the inner HTML I wrote in my string?

Answer 1

You have this code

$('.right').append($('<li class="btn log-out-button"><a data-method="delete" data-remote="true" format="json" href="' + data.log_out_path + '" class="standout-primary" rel="no-follow>Sign Out</a></li>

Missing barces/quotes , instead try this clean approach

var link = $('<a/>', {
    'data-method':'delete',
    'data-remote':'true',
    'format':'json',
    'href': data.log_out_path, // make sure you have 'data' in current scope
    'class':'standout-primary',
    'rel':'no-follow',
    'text':'Sign Out'
});
var li = $('<li/>', { 'class':'btn log-out-button' }).append(link);
$('.right').append(li);
