Doesn't The Append Function Return The Appended Object?
Assuming this is some existing block level element in the dom and image is http://www.google.com/images/srpr/nav_logo25.png doing the following does not work: $(this).append('
Solution 1:
.append() returns the object you appended to, to get the object you appended in the chain, use .appendTo() instead:
$('<img>').appendTo(this).load(function() { alert('loaded'); })
.attr('src', opts.image);
Both versions return what was in the chain previously...but since you want to deal with the <img> use the .appendTo() form. Also, for reliable results with your load, attach your load handler before setting the src as I have above.
Solution 2:
No, append returns the jQuery object to which you are appending. From the source (1.4.4)
append: function() {
returnthis.domManip(arguments, true, function( elem ) {
if ( this.nodeType === 1 ) {
this.appendChild( elem );
}
});
}
