<p>The <code>.append()</code> and <code><a href="/appendTo">.appendTo()</a></code> methods perform the same task. The major difference is in the syntax-specifically, in the placement of the content and target. With<code> .append()</code>, the selector expression preceding the method is the container into which the content is inserted. With <code>.appendTo()</code>, on the other hand, the content precedes the method, either as a selector expression or as markup created on the fly, and it is inserted into the target container.</p>
<p>Consider the following HTML:</p>
<pre>&lt;h2&gt;Greetings&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;div class="container"&gt;
  &lt;div class="inner"&gt;Hello&lt;/div&gt;
  &lt;div class="inner"&gt;Goodbye&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
</pre>
<p>We can create content and insert it into several elements at once:</p>
<pre>$('.inner').append('&lt;p&gt;Test&lt;/p&gt;');
</pre>
<p>Each inner <code>&lt;div&gt;</code> element gets this new content:</p>
<pre>&lt;h2&gt;Greetings&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;div class="container"&gt;
  &lt;div class="inner"&gt;
    Hello
    &lt;p&gt;Test&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;/div&gt;
  &lt;div class="inner"&gt;
    Goodbye
    &lt;p&gt;Test&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
</pre>
<p>We can also select an element on the page and insert it into another:</p>
<pre>$('.container').append($('h2'));
</pre>
<p>If an element selected this way is inserted elsewhere, it will be moved into the target (not cloned):</p>
<pre>&lt;div class="container"&gt;
  &lt;div class="inner"&gt;Hello&lt;/div&gt;
  &lt;div class="inner"&gt;Goodbye&lt;/div&gt;
  &lt;h2&gt;Greetings&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
</pre>
<p>If there is more than one target element, however, cloned copies of the inserted element will be created for each target after the first.</p>

Added viewport meta elements to the markup of every template and removed the metaViewportContent option from code and docs. IE does not support generated viewport tags. 2011-02-18 20:00:18 +00:00			`<meta charset="utf-8">`

Big update: In starting markup, pages should now be identified with the attribute data-role="page". This allows us to then add ui-page programatically, hiding all non-active pages, and apply ui-page-active to one page at a time to show it. mobile.js is updated to find pages by this attribute now, instead of ui-page class. fixes issue 32 2010-09-18 16:20:35 +00:00			`<div data-role="page">`
updated markup to use data-role attrs in place of classes for header/content/footer 2010-09-21 14:58:54 +00:00			`<div data-role="header">`

switched up padding and margins on content div. Now it will get 15px padding, unless its a fullscreen page. Inset listviews have no margin now, and regular listviews have -15px margins. Also, collapsibles now have no padding. Updated HTML to remove ui-body classes for content divs, to match these changes.
