Creating a div element in jQuery

How do I create a div element in jQuery?



solution:

First select the parent element with something like
$("#id"), $("element") or $(".class")
Then use the .append("<div>foo</div>") function. Alternatively, you can use the .html() as mentioned in a different answer.
$("#foo").append("<div>hello world</div>")
