Dynamically generate inner buttons for outer class buttons using jquery

I would like to generate inners buttons inside a parent button or div element dynamically.I have a sample code where I am able to generate 10 buttons dynamically.

How can I generate set of buttons within in a parent element to reproduce the structure for 10 times dynamically?

How can I replace element which is span object to have another set of buttons?

The first set of scripts generates 10 buttons dynamically. I would like to have similar functionality to generate a feature which I have described to develop child buttons inside parent element.

I don't want to edit my answer because its a bit of a different question you asked. so here is the answer for :

hi I want to generate different sets without defining #set0, #set1 and so on. I tried to implement your solution as above mentioned but no luck:( i want html content to be defined only once.

<body>

<br/>
    <div id="areaForSets">
        
    </div>

    <script>
        $(document).on('click', '.btn btn-default',                   function(){
            alert(this.innerHTML);
        });

        var numOfSets = 3;
        var numOfButtons = 10;
        
        for(var j=0; j < numOfSets ; j++){
          // create the set
          var setElement = "<div style='border: solid 1px red' id='set" + j +"'>";
          
          // create its content
          var i=0;
          for(;i < numOfButtons; i++){
            var setContent = "<div class='btn btn-default'><span>Element" + (i+1) + "</span></div>";
            
            setElement += setContent;
          }
          
          //close set div
          setElement += "</div>";
          // append to dom
          $("#areaForSets").append(setElement + "<br/>");
        }
    </script>

    <style>
      .myClass{
        background:#ccc;
        margin:10px;
        cursor:pointer;
      }
    </style>
</body>

How can I replace element which is span object to have another set of buttons?

just clear the content and replace in with your new set of buttons:

$("#firstSet").contents().remove();

var i=1;
for(;i<=10;i++){
   $('<div/>', {
        'class':'btn btn-default',

        'html':'<span>Element'+i+'</span>'

   }).appendTo('#firstSet');
}

in your case, if I understood your question correctly, it is somthing like this:

please note that you have some ids repeating themselves (#option1, #option2....).
