Question

I want to append some html to an empty non null jQuery object only in the loop but it\'s not working unless I create an object and add an html tag during creation. How can I cre

Your object $new is an empty selector, so append has no sets to append to.

add is required to add a DOM node, and then you append to those DOM nodes. Don't think you can avoid starting with an .add.
