Answer 1

JQuery can't append elements to (it does seem to add them in the DOM explorer, but not on the screen).

One workaround is to append an with all of the elements that you need to the page, and then modify the attributes of the elements using .attr().

$('body')
  .append($(''))
  .mousemove( function (e) {
      $("#c").attr({
          cx: e.pageX,
          cy: e.pageY
      });
  });
