jQuery HTML prependTo() Method

jQuery HTML Methods

Example

Insert content at the beginning of each p element:

$("button").click(function(){
$("<b>Hello World!</b>").prependTo("p");
});

Try it yourself »

Definition and Usage

The prependTo() method inserts specified content at the beginning of (but still inside) the selected elements.

Tip: The prepend() and prependTo() methods does the same thing. The difference is in the syntax: the placement of the content and selector, and that prepend() can insert content using a function.

Syntax

$(content).prependTo(selector)

Parameter	Description
content	Required. Specifies the content to insert (can contain HTML tags)
selector	Required. Specifies on which elements to insert the content
