jQuery Adding DOM Elements

Question

This may be a simple answer, but I'm trying to add a dom-created element (ie document.createElement(...) ) to a jQuery Selector.

jQuery has a great assortment of functions for adding html

• .html(htmlString)
• .append(htmlString)
• .prepend(htmlString)

But what i want to do is add a dom OBJECT

var myFancyDiv = document.createElement("div");
myFancyDiv.setAttribute("id", "FancyDiv");

// This is the theoretical function im looking for.
$("#SomeOtherDiv").htmlDom(myFancyDiv); 

Answer 1

Try this:

$("#SomeOtherDiv").append($(myFancyDiv)); 

Wrapping the DOM element in $(...), I'd expect you could add it with any of the jQuery DOM manipulation functions that take a jQuery element collection.

Answer 2

这应该做的！

  $("#SomeOtherDiv").append('<div id="FancyDiv"></div>')); 

Answer 3

通过完全切掉jQuery，可以使事情变得更简单，更快捷：

document.getElementById("SomeOtherDiv").appendChild(fancyDiv);

Answer 4

This will work in jQuery 1.4

$("<div/>",{
    id: 'FancyDiv'
}).appendTo("#SomeOtherDiv");

Answer 5

You can try this way:

$("<div/>", {

  // PROPERTIES HERE

  text: "Click me",

  id: "example",

  "class": "myDiv",      // ('class' is still better in quotes)

  css: {           
     color: "red",
     fontSize: "3em",
     cursor: "pointer"
  },

  on: {
    mouseenter: function() {
      console.log("PLEASE... "+ $(this).text());
    },
    click: function() {
      console.log("Hy! My ID is: "+ this.id);
    }
  },

  append: "<i>!!</i>",

  appendTo: "body"      // Finally, append to any selector

});
