Jquery append() is not appending as expected
- by KallDrexx
So I have the following div
<div id="object_list">
I want to append a list and items into it. So I run the following jquery
$("#object_list").empty();
$("#object_list").append('<ul');
$("#object_list").append(list.contents());
$("#object_list").append('</ul>');
After that code runs, #object_list looks like this
<div id="object_list">
<ul></ul>
...list.contents() elements
</div>
Even after debugging, if I do another $("#object_list").append('<ul>'); all I get is an added <ul> after the </ul>. Why is jquery not appending to the html AFTER the list.contents(), but is going before it?
