The documentation also says that the created html is "to be (assumedly) inserted into the document later". That's the important point, after creating the element, you need to add it to the document using something like appendTo or prependTo. The second example demonstrates that: $("<div><p>Hello</p></div>").appendTo("#body") Hope that helps.
