In this video we will discuss how to append and prepend elements
To append elements we have
append()
appendTo()

<html>
<head>

<script src="jquery-1.11.2.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function () {
$('div').append('<b> Tutorial</b>');
});
</script>
</head>
<body style="font-family:Arial">
<div id="div1">jQuery</div>
<div id="div2">C#</div>
<div id="div3">ASP.NET</div>
</body>
</html>
jquery appendto example : The above example can be rewritten using appendTo as shown below.
$('<b> Tutorial</b>').appendTo('div');
