I am trying to pass attributes to a jquery append function. It appends the html but does not append the attributes. There are no errors shown in the console either. Html Code :
<li>First Item</li>
<li>Second Item</li>
Javascript Code :
$('li').each(function(){
$(this).append('<span></span>', {
text: 'some text',
class: 'someClass'
})
});
I want the HTML to look like
<li>First Item <span class="someClass">some text</span></li>
<li>Second Item Item <span class="someClass">some text</span></li>
.append() is a Method which accepts string arguments or a function
.append("<p>A</p>", "<p>B</p>")
or .append(function() {});
- so you're passing an invalid Object as argument.
Instead, use $("<HTMLTag>", {...options})
to Create New Elements
$("li").each(function(){
$("<span>", {
class: "someClass",
text: " some text",
appendTo: this,
});
});
<ul>
<li>First Item</li>
<li>Second Item</li>
</ul>
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.6.0/jquery.min.js"></script>
Try this:
$('li').each(function(){
$('<span/>',{
text: 'some text',
class: 'someClass'
}).appendTo(this);
});
