This is possible with selectors and methods unique to the jQuery API. One of these methods is <code>append()<\/code>.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is jQuery append()?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The <code>append()<\/code> method is able to take one or multiple arguments of \u201ccontent\u201d (which can be an HTML string, text, an array, an element, or more jQuery), and attach or \u201cappend\u201d it to the end of any or all elements matching the selector. Some common uses include adding an item to the end of a list (such as a new \u201cto do\u201d item in a to do list), or displaying new content at the click of a button. Now let\u2019s take a look at how <code>append()<\/code> works with some example code.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Use jQuery append()<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Taking the above example of inserting items into a to do list, we will see how <code>append()<\/code> is called on a selector and inserts the content to all of the matching selections.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Starting with our HTML that builds a basic to do list:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-codemirror-blocks-code-block code-block\"><pre>&lt;!DOCTYPE html&gt;\n&lt;html&gt;\n&lt;head&gt;\n&lt;script src=&quot;https:\/\/ajax.googleapis.com\/ajax\/libs\/jquery\/3.5.1\/jquery.min.js&quot;&gt;&lt;\/script&gt;\n&lt;\/head&gt;\n&lt;body&gt;\n&lt;h2&gt;To Do List&lt;\/h2&gt;\n&lt;ol class=&quot;list1&quot;&gt;\n&lt;li&gt;Read Chapters 1 &amp; 2 &lt;\/li&gt;\n&lt;li&gt;Meeting at 3:00pm&lt;\/li&gt;\n&lt;li&gt;Write about yesterday's reading&lt;\/li&gt;\n&lt;\/ol&gt;\n&lt;\/body&gt;\n&lt;\/html&gt;\n<\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s important to note to include an address to the jQuery API inside a <code>&lt;script&gt;<\/code> tag in the <code>&lt;head&gt;<\/code> of the HTML page. Otherwise, we don\u2019t get to use jQuery in our HTML page.&nbsp;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, our to do list renders beautifully!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"291\" height=\"122\" src=\"https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Screen-Shot-2020-11-11-at-1.52.54-PM.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-25988\" srcset=\"https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Screen-Shot-2020-11-11-at-1.52.54-PM.jpg 291w, https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Screen-Shot-2020-11-11-at-1.52.54-PM-20x8.png 20w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 291px) 100vw, 291px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We are feeling productive today, so let\u2019s add an item to the end of the list. What about dinner plans?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Referencing our HTML layout, we see the ordered list (<code>&lt;ol&gt;<\/code>) has a class of <code>list1<\/code>. This is great news because we can select that entire selection by adding another <code>&lt;script&gt;<\/code> tag to the bottom of the &lt;body&gt;:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-codemirror-blocks-code-block code-block\"><pre>&lt;script&gt;\n $(document).ready( () =&gt; {\n   $(&quot;.list1&quot;).append(&quot;&lt;li&gt;Make dinner plans&lt;\/li&gt;&quot;)\n })\n&lt;\/script&gt;\n<\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Inside of the <code>&lt;script&gt;<\/code> tag, we have some $ symbols. What are these? These are the powerful jQuery selectors.&nbsp;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We can select anything in our DOM by passing in an element, class name, or id name to name a few. In this case, we have selected anything with a class of <code>list1,<\/code> which will select the entire <code>&lt;ol&gt;<\/code> element. The above <code>(document)<\/code> selector selects the entire page and calls the <code>ready()<\/code> method to wait to call the next line of code until the page has fully loaded. This helps to keep our code running sequentially.&nbsp;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, inside of our <code>ready()<\/code> callback function, we have selected all elements with a class of <code>list1.<\/code> In this case, this will select our <code>&lt;ol&gt; <\/code>and insert the <code>&lt;li&gt;<\/code> passed to <code>append()<\/code> just above our closing <code>&lt;\/ol&gt;<\/code>. So, after our page loads, the <code>Make dinner plans<\/code> list item will be appended to our to do list:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"268\" height=\"145\" src=\"https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Screen-Shot-2020-11-11-at-2.11.37-PM.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-25989\" srcset=\"https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Screen-Shot-2020-11-11-at-2.11.37-PM.jpg 268w, https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Screen-Shot-2020-11-11-at-2.11.37-PM-20x11.png 20w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 268px) 100vw, 268px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Fantastic! Now let\u2019s take a look at another example. This time let\u2019s display more content once a button is clicked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">jQuery append(): A Real-World Example<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Suppose we have a button on our web page and we want to display new content when the button is clicked. It would be efficient and more gratifying for our users if we displayed the new content without a page refresh or redirect.&nbsp;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Herein lies the power and elegance of <code>jQuery<\/code>: we can display new content without a refresh or redirect when the button is clicked.&nbsp;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Given this base HTML:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-codemirror-blocks-code-block code-block\"><pre>&lt;!DOCTYPE html&gt;\n&lt;html&gt;\n&lt;head&gt;\n&lt;script src=&quot;https:\/\/ajax.googleapis.com\/ajax\/libs\/jquery\/3.5.1\/jquery.min.js&quot;&gt;&lt;\/script&gt;\n&lt;\/head&gt;\n&lt;body&gt;\n&lt;div class=&quot;content&quot;&gt;\n  &lt;p&gt;Hello World!&lt;\/p&gt;\n&lt;\/div&gt;\n&lt;button id=&quot;btn-main&quot;&gt;Click Me!&lt;\/button&gt;\n&lt;\/body&gt;\n&lt;\/html&gt;\n<\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Pretty similar to how we started our to do list except we have a button:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"129\" height=\"73\" src=\"https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Screen-Shot-2020-11-11-at-2.31.09-PM.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-25990\" srcset=\"https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Screen-Shot-2020-11-11-at-2.31.09-PM.jpg 129w, https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Screen-Shot-2020-11-11-at-2.31.09-PM-20x11.png 20w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 129px) 100vw, 129px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s use what we\u2019ve learned about jQuery to append more content under \u201cHello World!\u201d once the button is clicked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-codemirror-blocks-code-block code-block\"><pre>&lt;script&gt;\n  $(document).ready( () =&gt; {\n    $(&quot;#main-btn&quot;).click( () =&gt; {\n      $(&quot;p&quot;).append(&quot;&lt;b&gt;Goodbye&lt;\/b&gt;&quot;)\n    })\n  })\n&lt;\/script&gt;\n<\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Once again, we have included a &lt;script&gt; tag at the end of our &lt;body&gt;. Like our to do list example, we are waiting for the document to finish loading before doing anything else.&nbsp;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the document is loaded, we are now able to click the button and call the <code>click()<\/code> method on our button. Now our <code>&lt;p&gt;<\/code> tag is selected and we call the <code>append()<\/code> method with the argument content of the HTML string <em>&#8221; <code>&lt;b&gt;Goodbye&lt;\/b&gt;.\"<\/code> <\/em>This will insert the word <code>Goodbye<\/code> in bold at the end of the <code>&lt;p&gt;<\/code> tag.&nbsp;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our final output will look like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-codemirror-blocks-code-block code-block\"><pre>&lt;div class=&quot;content&quot;&gt;\n &lt;p&gt;Hello World.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Goodbye&lt;\/b&gt;.\n&lt;\/div&gt;\n\n&lt;button id=&quot;btn-main&quot;&gt;Click Me&lt;\/button&gt;\n<\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>And on screen like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"171\" height=\"78\" src=\"https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Screen-Shot-2020-11-11-at-2.35.42-PM.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-25991\" srcset=\"https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Screen-Shot-2020-11-11-at-2.35.42-PM.png 171w, https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Screen-Shot-2020-11-11-at-2.35.42-PM-20x9.png 20w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 171px) 100vw, 171px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Or if we wanted to append <code>Goodbye<\/code> to the end of the <code>&lt;div&gt;<\/code>, we just change the <code>&lt;p&gt;<\/code> selector to the class <code>content<\/code>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-codemirror-blocks-code-block code-block\"><pre>&lt;script&gt;\n  $(document).ready( () =&gt; {\n    $(&quot;#main-btn&quot;).click( () =&gt; {\n      $(&quot;.content&quot;).append(&quot;&lt;b&gt;Goodbye&lt;\/b&gt;&quot;)\n    })\n  })\n&lt;\/script&gt;\n<\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Which displays as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"125\" height=\"91\" src=\"https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Screen-Shot-2020-11-11-at-2.54.19-PM.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-25992\" srcset=\"https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Screen-Shot-2020-11-11-at-2.54.19-PM.jpg 125w, https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Screen-Shot-2020-11-11-at-2.54.19-PM-20x15.png 20w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 125px) 100vw, 125px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In summary, we have seen how the <code>append() <\/code>method works on its own and in the context of a series of callback functions.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By simply including the jQuery selectors and methods inside of a <code>&lt;script&gt; <\/code>tag, we are able to append different types of content to the end of any elements that match our jQuery selector.
