How to add more divs in jQuery - php

Question

I am trying to add a new div to the page when you click on NEW DIV?
How could I do this? Can someone point me in the right direction?

Answer 1

More example code is always helpful, but I'll try to give you some basics.
<div id="Content">
<button id="Add" />
</div>
$(function () {
$('#Add').click(function () {
$('<div>Added Div</div>').appendTo('#Content');
});
});

Answer 2

There are a bunch of different ways, it depends on what you want to do. A simple way is like this:
$('#id').html('<div>Hello</div>')
Which replaces the inner html of item with id 'id' with "Hello". So this:
<div id='id'>Old Html </div>
Would become:
<div id='id'><div>Hello</div></div>
And this:
$('#id').after('<div>Hello</div>')
Would transform the "Old Html" into this:
<div id='id'>Old Html</div>
<div Hello </div>
Check out www.visualjquery.com and select the Manipulation button. It gives you more than you could need to know in an easy to explore fashion.

Make sure to use the $(document).ready function in jQuery. You need this to "run" the script once your page is loaded and enable the action that is being called on this dummy button to append a new div to an existing div.
You can also use this to append anything you'd like to other elements on the page by using jQuery selectors such as .class or #id.
<div id="Content">
<button id="Add" />
</div>
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#Add').click(function () {
$('<div>Added Div</div>').appendTo('#Content');
});
});
Another useful option is to replace the contents of a tag with jQuery. You can do this using the .html() function.
<div id="Content">
<p id="changed">Hello World!</p>
<button id="change_content" />
</div>
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#change_content').click(function () {
$('#changed').html('Goodbye World');
});
});
Hope this helps!
