In this video we will discuss how to append and prepend elements



To append elements we have
append()
appendTo()

To prepend elements we have
prepend()
prependTo()

Since these methods modify DOM, they belong to DOM manipulation category.

jquery append example : The following example appends the specified HTML to all div elements
<html>
<head>
    <title></title>
    <script src="jquery-1.11.2.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript">
        $(document).ready(function () {
            $('div').append('<b> Tutorial</b>');
        });
    </script>
</head>
<body style="font-family:Arial">
    <div id="div1">jQuery</div>
    <div id="div2">C#</div>
    <div id="div3">ASP.NET</div>
</body>
</html>

<html>
<head>
    <title></title>
    <script src="jquery-1.11.2.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript">
        $(document).ready(function () {
            $('<b> Tutorial</b>').appendTo('div');
        });
    </script>
</head>
<body style="font-family:Arial">

Both these methods perform the same task. The only difference is in the syntax. With append method we first specify the target elements and then the content that we want to append, where as we do the opposite with appendTo method.
