How do I create a list element in jQuery?

I've tried different solution without much success.

I'm able to add a <li> to my list, but the DOM does not recognize it as a list element and thus I'm not able to manipulate it with jQuery later.

This is the last code I've tried, but I get the error msg:

TypeError: $('</li>').class is not a function

Code: 

 var data = '<div> some stuff</div>';
 var index = "index-" + brand_name[0].toLowerCase();

 $("</li>")
   .class(index)
   .text(data)
   .insertAfter($(".brand_list .main-"+index))
   .css('display','list-element');

I've also tried with <li></li> and <li> but I get the same error.

Any help much appreciated.

you should be using .addClass() instead of .class(). More info here: http://api.jquery.com/addClass/
