JQuery: Build HTML in 'memory' rather than DOM

Asked 2008-12-03T14:46:15.677

Is there a way to 'pre-build' a snippet of HTML before adding it to the DOM?

For example:

$mysnippet.append("<h1>hello</h1>");
$mysnippet.append("<h1>world</h1>");
$("destination").append($mysnippet);

where $mysnippet doesnt exist in the DOM. I'd like to dynamically build up some lumps of html and then insert them into the page at appropriate points later.

Sure, just build them as a string:

$mysnippet = "<h1>hello</h1>";
$mysnippet = $mysnippet + "<h1>world</h1>";
$("destination").append($mysnippet);
