Would appending to a non existing element create a new instance of that element in JQuery? -

In my browser, I have a textbox and a submit button, using text from the textbox, At the end of the anodized list, I want to add as a list item. The unstarred list is not present yet, but I want to present the text under the text box and submit the button. I created this function:

Code:

  Function display (text) {// Text box 'text' $ ('ul' ) .append ('  
 When I use .display (), I want to be able to display the text in the parameter as a new list item in an unordered list.  
  Question:  Does JQuery make a new 'ul' if someone is not in existence yet or should I make one first? If so, am I using JQuery correctly to add a list item to the unordered list?  
 Any advice helps! Thanks!  
  
 
 
 First you  $ ('
')  Should use a new  & lt; Ul & gt; , while  $ ('ul')  select the element already present.  
 For more information, see  
 Then you can rewrite the code like this:  
  var ul = $ ('& Lt; ul & gt; '); // Save the newly created element Ul.appendTo ('body') // it & lt; Body & gt; Add or add other text to the text display (text) {// 'text' text box. Append ('
