How do I append an HTML string to the DOM

I have a data table with data from a JSON file.

I filtered the data and generated an HTML string that I need prepended to this 

 <div class='toolbar'>

I am having issues with prepending it. 

 $(document).find(cleanKey).prepend(htmlString) // didnt work

 $('#' + key.toLowerCase().replace(/\s/g, "-") + '-table').prepend(htmlString) // didnt work

You can append a string with the following: 

$('#' + key.toLowerCase().replace(/\s/g, "-") + '-table').html() += htmlString;

Are you prepending or appending?

Prepend

$('.toolbar').prepend(htmlString);

Append

$('.toolbar').append(htmlString);
