I got this bad feeling about how I insert larger amounts of HTML. Lets assume we got:
var html="<table>..<a-lot-of-other-tags />..</table>"
and I want to put this into
$("#mydiv")
previously I did something like
var html_obj = $(html);
$("#mydiv").append(html_obj);
Is it correct that jQuery is parsing html to create DOM-Objects ? Well this is what I read somewhere (UPDATE: I meant that I have read, jQuery parses the html to create the whole DOM tree by hand - its nonsense right?!), so I changed my code:
$("#mydiv").attr("innerHTML", $("#mydiv").attr("innerHTML") + html);
Feels faster, is it ? And is it correct that this is equivalent to:
document.getElementById("mydiv").innerHTML += html ? or is jquery doing some additional expensive stuff in the background ?
Would love to learn alternatives as well.
