Create a paragraph element with some text and append it to end of document body using jQuery
In this article, the task is to create a paragraph element with some text and append it to end of document body using jQuery.
Using jQuery, it is easy to add new elements/content in a particular position inside an HTML document. We have four methods that are used to add new content:
append() ? This method adds the content at the end of selected elements.
prepend() ? This method adds the content at the beginning of selected elements.
after() ? This method adds the content after the selected elements.
before() ? This method adds the content before the selected elements.
Here, the task is to add a paragraph element with some text at the end of the document body. So, we use the append() method.
Syntax
Following is the syntax of the jQuery append() method ?
$(selector).append("content");
The "content" is a required parameter. It specifies the content to add (can also contain HTML tags).
Example
In the following example, we are creating a paragraph element with some text and appending it to the end of the document body using jQuery append() method ?
<!DOCTYPE html>
<head>
