Can't append [removed] element

Question

Any idea why the piece of code below does not add the script element to the DOM?

var code = \"\";
$(\"#someElement\").append(cod         


        

Answer 1

What do you mean "not working"?

jQuery detects that you're trying to create a SCRIPT element and will automatically run the contents of the element within the global context. Are you telling me that this doesn't work for you? -

$('#someElement').append('');

---

Edit: If you're not seeing the SCRIPT element in the DOM (in Firebug for example) after you run the command that's because jQuery, like I said, will run the code and then will delete the SCRIPT element - I believe that SCRIPT elements are always appended to the body... but anyway - placement has absolutely no bearing on code execution in this situation.
