CHAPTER 2 ■ COMMON JQUERY ACTIONS AND METHODS
Figure 2-2. The multiline testing area (shown at the right-hand side of the console)
With the multiline testing area, you now need to click the Run button at the bottom to execute the
code. Pressing Enter, as with the single-line test console, will now break to a new line.
Creating New DOM Elements
To create a new DOM element, jQuery only needs the tag to be created. For instance, to create a new
paragraph element, you would use the following:
$("");
To add attributes and text to this element, you can simply write it out as plain HTML:
$('This is a new paragraph!');
