javascript - jQuery create element by template -

javascript - jQuery create element by template <element /> -

i can create new element jquery:

var $e = $("<element>");

the result after appending be:

<element></element>

but need:

<element/>

how reach desirable result? example, how create:

<path id="p2" d="m0,0"/>

i tried $("<path/>"), $("<path />"), not works. believe, that:

$("#parent").html("<path id='p2'/>"); var $p = $("#p2"); $p.attr({'d': "m0,0"}); ...

will work, nightmare me

update 1:

even $("#parent").html("<group><path id='p2'/></group>"); not working! produces:

<... id="parent"><group><path id='p2'></path></group></...>

update 2:

even $parent[0].innerhtml = '<group><path id="p1"/></groups>'; produces:

<... id="parent"><group><path id='p2'></path></group></...>

$("#parent").html("<path id='p2'/>");

if in above statement want value display of ` in tag or attribute id='parent', has following:

$("#parent").html(document.getelementbyid('p2'));
