jQuery - Appending a div to body, the body is the object?

Question

When I\'m adding a div to body, it\'s returning the body as the object and then whenever I use that - it\'s obviously using body. Bad.

Code:-

var hol         


        

Answer 1

jQuery methods returns the set they were applied on.

Use .appendTo:

var $div = $('
').appendTo('body');
$div.attr('id', 'holdy');
