The plugins site is currently in development.
We've been looking to provide a higher-quality, spam-free experience at the plugins site for some time, and a major error on our part forced us to shut down the current site before we could put the new one in place. We are developing a new site, and you can follow along with its development on GitHub. For more information about this transition, including steps you can take as a plugin author to prepare, please read our post about what's going on.
appendText
Description
This (very) small plugins is the incestuous child of "append" and "text": it appends a new Text Node.
This is especially important when you want to append user-supplied input, because a Text Node is never interpreted as HTML.
Example
var $myLabel = $("<label/>")
.append("<input type='checkbox'/>")
.appendText("use HTML <a href=''>");Will add to the DOM the equivalent of the following HTML:
<label><input type='checkbox'/>use HTML <a href=''></label>
