Nodes can be manipulated without being part of the DOM, for example like this:
var node = $('<div class="aewsoem"></div>')[0]; $('<span class="great"></span>').appendTo(node); $("body").append(node); Just note that jQuery always returns a collection of nodes, so if you create one to access it you have to take the first from this collection with the [0]. drx > For those methods to work, the html has to be part of the DOM first. > > On Feb 26, 3:33 am, stephen <stephen.cant...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Hello, > > > > has anybody managed to prepend and append elements to a set of dom > > elements previously created on the fly with the "$(html)" function? > > > > I've tried with append, prepend, after, before, etc without any > > luck... > > > > Is there a way to do it? > > > > Stephen -- New Bodenständig 2000 record / Neue Bodenständig 2000 Schallplatte: http://bodenstandig.de/2000/ Home Page: http://drx.a-blast.org/~drx/
