Create elements in a new document using jQuery
Using plain JavaScript (without jquery), I can open a new window (or tab) and write a minimal HTML document into that window like this:
var minimal = '<!DOCTYPE HTML>n' +
'<html>n' +
'<head>n' +
'<meta charset="utf-8">n' +
'<title>Title Here</title>n' +
'</head>n' +
'<body>n' +
'</body>n' +
'</html>n';
var win = window.open();
var doc = win.document;
doc.open('text/html', true);
doc.write(minimal);
doc.close();
Then I can use plain JavaScript to dynamically create and add children elements to the new document like this:
var body = doc.getElementsByTagName('body')[0];
var div = doc.createElement('div');
div.innerHTML = 'Hi Mom!';
body.appendChild(div);
Notice in the above code that I am using doc and not document which creates a div in the new document.
My understanding of jquery is that this code
var div = $('<div/>');
will create a div in the current document and not in the new document, and a div created in the current document cannot be added to the new document. Is there some way to get jquery to create elements in a new document as shown in my plain JavaScript code above?

dynamically creating DOM elements without attaching/parenting them to other DOM elements will be discarded.
var div = $('<div></div>'); // will create a div and wait for you to append it
so you can say:
div.appendTo("body"); // this will append it body
or you could say:
div.appendTo(win.document); // the div will be appended somewhere else
