Simple answer:
DOM nodes are created by just writing the html in side of the jQuery
$('#divName').append('<table><tr><td></td></tr></table>');
is equivalent to
divResult = document.getElementById("divName");
table = document.createElement("table");
tr = document.createElement("tr");
td = document.createElement("td");
tr.appendChild(tr);
table.appendChild(tr);
divResult.appendChild(table);
but is also cross browser compatible, optimized for speed, and handles
event registrations.
