Recently I’ve been doing a lot of modal window pop-ups and what not, for which I used jQuery. The method that I used to create the new elements on the page has overwhelmingly been along the lines of:
$("<div></div>");
However, I’m getting the feeling that this isn’t the best or the most efficient method of doing this. What is the best way to create elements in jQuery from a performance perspective?
This answer has the benchmarks to the suggestions below.
