Question

I’m following quide in http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.getJSON/ and everything is great except I’m puzzled about injection part.

It’s hard for me to understand what this exactly does:

$('<ul/>', {
    'class': 'my-new-list',
    html: items.join('')
}).appendTo('body');

Well appendTo() is clear. But how it makes html out of JS array and how to remove wrapping? Can this be translated to group of simple commands?

Answer 1

That could be rewritten like so:

 var element = $('<ul/>');
 element.addClass('my-new-list').html(items.join(''));
 element.appendTo('body');

It’s just creating a new element with the specified values and properties.

From this link, it is the jQuery( html,props ) overload.
