$append() inconsistent behavior
I have discovered that if you use $('body').append("<table>"); a full table element is appended ie debuggers show that both <table> and </table> are present.
But if you use
$('body').append("<tr>"); only the opening tr is created.
You have to use
$('body').append("<tr></tr>"); to get the full element.
If you use
$('body').append("<table></table>"); then the closing tag gets duplicated.
I noticed this with some other HTML elements as well.
Why does append() show this difference depending on what is appended and how can i know which elements will behave in each way?
