JQuery Adding multiple classes to a div tag

Question

I would like to obtain the next line of code using JQuery:

<div class="something something_else">
</div>

I use $(document.createElement('div')); to create the div, but then how do I add something and something_else to the div?

I'm sure it's something basic, but I can't seem to figure it out.

Answer 1

Try this:

$('<div/>', {"class": "something something_else" })

Answer 2

var div = document.createElement('div');
div.className = "something something else";
$('<div/>').addClass("something something else");
$('<div class="something something else"/>');
