jQuery Adding

Methods used to add text for the selected element.
We can add the text in four different ways.

  1. append() - Appends content to the end of the selected element
  2. prepend() - Prepends content to the beginning of the selected element
  3. after() - Inserts content after the selected element
  4. before() - Inserts content before the selected element

Appends content to the end of the selected element.
We have another method in this append() method

  <script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.6.4.min.js"></script>
</head>
<body>

<div id="destinationElement">
  <p>Destination Element</p>
</div>

<script>
  // Creating a new element
  var newParagraph = $("<p>New Content</p>");

  // Using appendTo() to add the new element to the destination element
  newParagraph.appendTo("#destinationElement");
</script>

</body>
</html>

We have another method in this prepend() method

  $("#container").prepend("<strong>Prepended Content</strong>");

  // Creating a new element

</script>

</body>
</html>

</div>

<script>
