Adding content with jQuery
in Getting Started
•
8 years ago
Hi
I've been given the following code (from a book on jQuery) that
should add content to the page:
$('<div>', {
id: 'specialButton',
text: 'Click Me!',
click: function(){
alert("Advanced jQuery!")
}
}).insertBefore('#disclaimer');
The problem is that is doesn't seem to work - I don't see any text
and when I check the DOM or when I inspect the page using Chrome's
tools for doing this I don't see any error messages in the console but
neither do I see the div added to the page.
The html this refers to is:
<p id="intro">
