How to create a DOM node as an object?

Question

I would like to create a DOM node, set the \'id\' attribute and then append it to \'body\'. The following seems not to work because jQuery doesn\'t see my template as an obj

Answer 1

var template = $( "
", { id: "1234", html:
  $( "
", { class: "bar", text: "bla" } )
});
$('body').append(template);

What about this?
