HTML or XML are handled the same.

1. var $tag = $("<myowntag />");
2. $tag.append("<mysecondtag />");
   

or

1. var $tag = $("<div />");
2. $tag.append("<br />");

In the first example, you'll have <myowntag><mysecondtag/></myowntag>
In the second example, you'll have <div><br/></div>

Thanks for replying.

But... Don't you need a document first before appending nodes to it? Where would your example get the XML document from? (I'm not talking about AJAX, but about creating an XML document from scratch.)
