Creating a canvas element and setting its width and height attributes using jQuery

Question

I was just trying to do the following in jQuery:

var newCanvas = $(\'\',{\'width\':100,\'height\':200,\'class\':\'radHuh\'});
$(body).append(n         


        

Answer 1

Edit: This is slower, see comments below.

This will likely be faster than any workaround posted here:

var attributes = {width: 100, height: 100, class: "whatever"};
$('').appendTo(document.body);

Slightly less fancier, but it's esentially the same with less function calls.
