jQuery traversal add() method
jQuery is a collection object. After finding the specified collection of elements through the $() method, a series of operations can be performed. After $(), it means that the collection object is already determined. What to do if you need to add a new element to this collection later? jQuery provides the add method for this, which is used to create a new jQuery object , the element is added to the set of matched elements. The argument to add() can accept almost any $(), including a jQuery selector expression, DOM element, or HTML fragment reference.
Let’s look at a simple case:
Operation: select all li elements, and then add the p element to the li collection
<ul>
<li>list item 1</li> <li>list item 3</li>
</ul>
<p>New p element</ p>
Process 1: Pass the selector
$('li').add('p')
Process 2: Pass the dom Element
$('li').add(document.getElementsByTagName('p')[0])
Another way is to dynamically create a P tag and add it to the collection , and then insert it into the specified position, but this changes the arrangement of the elements themselves
$('li').add('<p>New p element</p>'). appendTo(target location)
