How do I create a element as a jQuery object?

Question

Now i create a jQuery object by using

var content = $("Some string" + <a target="_blank" href="http://www.mypage.com"> + </a>);

But this seems not working.

How to fixed it?

Answer 1

The jQuery constructor will only create you an element. It won't display it on the document until you append it. Also, the elements must be parsed as a string. Example:

 var content = $('<span>Some string</span><a target="_blank" href="http://www.mypage.com">Link</a>'); content.appendTo('body'); 

 <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script> 

In your code, the HTML wasn't a string, so it most likely showed a SyntaxError or a TypeError.

Answer 2

Try substituting a string representation of content for wrapping in jQuery()

 var content = "Some string" + "<a target=_blank href=http://www.mypage.com> + </a>"; $("body").append(content); 

 <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
