JQuery: Build HTML in 'memory' rather than DOM

Question

Is there a way to \'pre-build\' a snippet of HTML before adding it to the DOM?

For example:

$mysnippet.append(\"
hello
\");
$mysni         


        

Answer 1

Yes pretty much exactly how you have done it

Some extension of this...

$('
').attr('id', 'yourid').addClass('yourclass').append().append()...

and then finally

.appendTo($("#parentid"));
