Javascript, jQuery pattern to create HTML document

I'm not sure if I'm asking the right question or not. But my application heavily relies on Javascript and jQuery to create HTML document. So I have a lot of this "jQuery(") and then a lot of div.attr("id","123").

So, is there a better way to do this, or some design pattern to deal with this?

Thanks a lot.

Yes, jQuery Templates. They make it easier to build html with jQuery, you can do:

<script id="movieTemplate" type="text/x-jquery-tmpl"> 
    <li><b>${Name}</b> (${ReleaseYear})</li>
</script>

<ul id="movieList"></ul>

<script>
var movies = [
    { Name: "The Red Violin", ReleaseYear: "1998" },
    { Name: "Eyes Wide Shut", ReleaseYear: "1999" },
    { Name: "The Inheritance", ReleaseYear: "1976" }
];

/* Render the template with the movies data and insert
   the rendered HTML under the "movieList" element */
$( "#movieTemplate" ).tmpl( movies )
    .appendTo( "#movieList" );
</script>

And get:

  • The Red Violin (1998)
  • Eyes Wide Shut (1999)
  • The Inheritance (1976)
