I am trying to create element using jquery. When i click on a link, i want to create an element “p”, give it some text, and then put it in one of my divs. Also, i want to check which link is clicked on, so i can put the created “p” in the right div. Any solutions on where i am doing it wrong?

Javascript/Jquery

$(document).ready(function () {

function createElement() {
  var a = $("#menu").find('a').each(function(){
    if(a == "l1"){
    var text = $(document.createElement('p');
    $('p').text("Hej");
    $("#contentl1").append("text");
    }
  });
}

$("#menu").find('a').each(function () {
    $(this).click(function () {
        createElement();
    });
});

createElement();

});

    $("<p />", { text: "Hej" }).appendTo("#contentl1");
