How to create a HTML element and set something in it?












0














Here is my code which works well:



var el = "<span class='notification_numb'>" + notif_num + "</span>";
$("#header .header_point").prepend(el);


Now I want to make that element another way. Here is my new code:



var el = $('<span />').addClass('notification_numb').html(notif_num);
$("#header .header_point").prepend(el);


But it doesn't work, actually that span will not be created. any idea what's wrong?
