jQuery appending an array of elements

Question

For the purpose of this question lets say we need to append() 1000 objects to the body element.

You could go about it like this:

Answer 1

You could use an empty jQuery object instead of an array:

var elements = $();
for(x = 0; x < 1000; x++) {
    elements = elements.add('
'+x+'
');
    // or 
    // var element = $('
'+x+'
');
    // elements = elements.add(element);
}
$('body').append(elements);

This might be useful if you want to do stuff with newly generated element inside the loop. But note that this will create a huge internal stack of elements (inside the jQuery object).

It seems though that your code works perfectly fine with jQuery 1.8.
