dynamically create element using jquery
I am trying to create element using jquery. When i click on a link, i want to create an element "p", give it some text, and then put it in one of my divs. Also, i want to check which link is clicked on, so i can put the created "p" in the right div. Any solutions on where i am doing it wrong?
Javascript/Jquery
$(document).ready(function () {
function createElement() {
var a = $("#menu").find('a').each(function(){
if(a == "l1"){
var text = $(document.createElement('p');
$('p').text("Hej");
$("#contentl1").append("text");
}
});
}
$("#menu").find('a').each(function () {
$(this).click(function () {
createElement();
});
});
createElement();
});
