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

Sure, just build them as a string:

$mysnippet = "
hello
";
$mysnippet = $mysnippet + "
world
";
$("destination").append($mysnippet);
