Best way to add DOM elements with jQuery

Question

So I\'ve seen three ways to add html/DOM elements to a page. I\'m curious what the pros and cons are for each of them.

1 - Traditional JavaScript

Answer 1

You can try this:

 $("<div/>", {

  // PROPERTIES HERE

  text: "Click me",

  id: "example",

  "class": "myDiv",      // ('class' is still better in quotes)

  css: {           
     color: "red",
     fontSize: "3em",
     cursor: "pointer"
  },

  on: {
    mouseenter: function() {
      console.log("PLEASE... "+ $(this).text());
    },
    click: function() {
      console.log("Hy! My ID is: "+ this.id);
    }
  },

  append: "<i>!!</i>",

  appendTo: "body"      // Finally, append to any selector

});
