<button>WikiTechy - Add new controls and div element dynamicaly</button>
<p>Click above button to dynamically add div element below</p>
<div id="SecondPara">Hi from Wikitechy</div>
</body>
</html>
Code Explanation:
Inside the <script src= ” http://code.jquery.com/jquery.js “> </script> the ajax library has been called using the (src)=source attribute.
Here we have created div using, div element with its id as “SecondPara”.
The $(document).ready(function); - specifies that the document to be fully loaded and ready before working with it, in order to prevent any jQuery code from running before the document is finished loading.
$("button").click(function(){ - here is the button click event, which has been called here as element selector whose element “button” has been assigned for the click function.
Here we are using the element selector “div” where we assign the prepend function in the element div “dynamically created div tag inside another div tag”.
Sample Output:
Here in this output we have shown the button” WikiTechy - Add new controls and div element dynamicaly” , where initially there is no div element to be added dynamically as shown here.
Here in this output we have shown the button” WikiTechy-Add new list item” clicked for 1 time where the new div element “dynamically created div tag inside another div tag” in the window as shown.
Similarly, here in this output we have shown the button” WikiTechy-Add new list item” clicked for 2 time where the new div element “dynamically created div tag inside another div tag” in the window as shown.
In the same way here in this output we have shown the button” WikiTechy-Add new list item” clicked for 3 time where the new div element “dynamically created div tag inside another div tag” in the window as shown.
