$(‘<element>’) vs $(‘<element />’) in jQuery
I am used to write $('<div>').
But today I saw a presentation about advanced-jquery by john-resig who use the following syntax $('<div/>').
http://loft.bocoup.com/john-resig-advanced-jquery/
To me they seem to produce the same output.
My question is: is there some difference between
$('<div>') and $('<div/>')?
No, jQuery will normalize those statements into the exact same.
In some earlier version of jQuery tho, it happend to be that
<div>was actually faster than<div/>for whatever reason. I don’t know yet, if that still applies.http://jsperf.com/jquery-constructor-performance
Seems like this bug/feature is no longer true.
