jQuery .append() not rendering HTML correctly when using template literals
I'm relatively new to this, so bear with me. I'm working on a personal project and I'm working with an scenario with jQuery's `.append()` method when trying to inject HTML elements constructed via template literals. The question arises when I try to include some dynamic data in the HTML string, but the appended elements don’t seem to render as expected. Instead, I only see the string representation of the HTML without it being parsed into actual elements. I’m using jQuery version 3.6.0. Here is a simplified version of my code: ```javascript const data = [ { id: 1, name: 'Item 1' }, { id: 2, name: 'Item 2' } ]; data.forEach(item => { const html = `<div class='item' data-id='${item.id}'>${item.name}</div>`; $('#items-container').append(html); }); ``` When I inspect the DOM, I see the correct structure like `<div class='item' data-id='1'>Item 1</div>` in the `#items-container`, but somehow it's not behaving like a normal DOM element. For instance, I need to access any of these items via jQuery selectors afterwards. I've also tried replacing `.append()` with `.html()` and `.innerHTML` but faced similar issues. Additionally, I verified the jQuery version and compatibility, and everything seems fine. I’ve also checked for any console errors or warnings but found none. Could this be an scenario with how jQuery handles template literals, or am I missing something fundamental? Any insights would be greatly appreciated! For context: I'm using Javascript on Ubuntu. Am I missing something obvious? Has anyone else encountered this? What am I doing wrong?
