Question

I am trying to push the data of a dynamically created div
<div id="paging_inner"></div> to the newly created variable
var content= '';. I commented the code which I tried there in my script.

Is there any jQuery method for inserting the data (without using the jQuery .append() method)?

This is what I tried, but I need help:

Do you mean:

var div=$('<div id="paging_inner"></div>');
for(...) {
...
}
$('#paging').html(div);  

One option would be , creating content inside for loop adding it to a variable, and appending it to the div, after loop, like:

var div=$('<div id="paging_inner"></div>');
var insertContent = '';
for(i=0;i<maximages;i++) {
  insertContent += '<a id="page_'+(i+1)+'" data-index="'+(i+1)+'"><span></span></a>';
}
$('div').append(insertContent);
