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
