Last Updated : 28 Apr, 2021

Creating an <div> element with a style tag using jQuery can be done in the following steps.

Steps:

Create a new <div> element.
Create an object with all the styles that we want to apply.
Choose a parent element, where to put this newly created element.
Put the created div element into the parent element.

Example 1: This example will create an <div> element and use the append() method to append the element at the end of the parent element.

HTML

<!DOCTYPE html> <html>  <head>     <script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-git.js">     </script>      <style>         .divClass {             height: 40px;             width: 200px;             border: 1px solid blue;             color: white         }     </style> </head>  <body>     <h2 style="color:green">GeeksforGeeks</h2>     <div id="parent">         This is parent div     </div>     <div style="height:10px;"></div>     <!-- JavaScript function addText() is called to add to parent div-->     <input type="button" value="Add <div> Text" onclick="addText()" />     <script>         <!-- Function to add text in a div element with above styles-->         function addText() {             $(document).ready(function() {                  var object = {                     id: "divID",                     class: "divClass",                     css: {                         "color": "Red"                     }                 };                 var addition = $("<div>", object);                 addition.html("Added text GFG");                 $("#parent").append(addition);             });         }     </script> </body>  </html>

Output:

Example 2: This example will create an <div> element and uses the prependTo() method to append the element at the start of the parent element.
