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

A slight change to your second approach:

var elements = [],
newDiv;
for (x = 0; x < 1000; x++) {
    newDiv = $('
').text(x);
    elements.push(newDiv);
}
$('body').append(elements);

$.append() certainly can append an array: http://api.jquery.com/append/

.append(content) | content: One or more additional DOM elements, arrays of elements, HTML strings, or jQuery objects to insert at the end of each element in the set of matched elements.
