Question

Im trying (unsuccessfully) to prepend the following content to a div:

var entry = $('textarea').val();    
var formated = '<div class="newsfeed_entry"><p>' . entry . '</p></div>';

    $('#entry_container').prepend(formated);

I think the reason it isn’t work is related to the way I am mixing variables and text. I looked at the documentation but I can’t figure out what the issue is.

Answer 1

Try

var entry = $('textarea').val();    
var formated = '<div class="newsfeed_entry"><p>' + entry + '</p></div>';

    $('#entry_container').prepend(formated);
