Day 038 - Append and Prepend

As well as using .after and .before, it's possible to .append and .prepend.

Here's an example, in our HTML if we have:

<ul>
    <li class="one">List Item One</li>
    <li class="three">List Item Three</li>
    <li class="five">List Item Five</li>
</ul>

Then with jQuery we add:

$('ul li.one').append('<span class="two">"List Item Two"</span>');
$('ul li.five').prepend('<span class="four">"List Item Four"</span>');

The first line appends a span element to the list item with a class of one.

The second line prepends a span element to the list item with a class five.

Check out the Demo and inspect the elements to see exactly where the span elements lie.
