Beautiful Element Creation with jQuery — Article — The Nerdary. This is super super sweet. Creating elements the ‘old’ way did feel a little wrong, but this is all sorts of right (from the article): $(‘<div />’, { ‘id’: ‘charles’, ‘click’: function(e){ e.preventDefault(); $(this).animate({opacity: 0.7}); } });   So much nicer, and more… programmatic.
