Recently I\'ve been doing a lot of modal window pop-ups and what not, for which I used jQuery. The method that I used to create the new elements on the page has overwhelming

Answer 1

I am using jquery.min v2.0.3 . It's for me better to use following:

var select = jQuery("#selecter");
jQuery("``",{value: someValue, text: someText}).appendTo(select);

as following:

var select = jQuery("#selecter");
jQuery(document.createElement('option')).prop({value: someValue, text: someText}).appendTo(select);

Processing time of first code is much lower than second code.
