Which is better: string html generation or jquery DOM element creation?
- by Ed Woodcock
Ok, I'm rewriting some vanilla JS functions in my current project, and I'm at a point where there's a lot of HTML being generated for tooltips etc.
My question is, is it better/preferred to do this:
var html = '<div><span>Some More Stuff</span></div>';
if (someCondition) {
html += '<div>Some Conditional Content</div>';
}
$('#parent').append(html);
OR
var html = $('<div/>').append($('<span/>').append('Some More Stuff'));
if (someCondition) {
html.append($('<div/>').append('Some conditionalContent');
}
$('#parent').append(html);
?
