Trying to add a DOM object using jquery but its not displaying on the browser

Hi,

I am using the below code

$(document).ready(function() {
$('<p>A new paragraph!</p>')
});

[Matthew Brown]

So, you're creating a new paragraph and...then what? You don't do anything with it. It's just like creating any other object - it doesn't have any connections to anything else until you add them. I'd suggest looking in the jQuery docs for functions that add to the DOM.

Think about it for a minute. If it were to be automatically inserted into the DOM just by creating it, how would jQuery know where in the DOM to put it? You've got to tell it.

Thank you Bear And Mathew , I got what you meant to convey.
