We are creating an unordered list using jQuery by iterating in an array and store it in a local variable by appending. Finally we have pushed in to the DOM using html() property. This is the best way to fill the unordered list without reflow .
Example:
<html>
<head>
<title>create anunordered list by iterating an array</title>
<script src="//code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.2.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function () {
var mobiles = ['Apple', 'Samsung', 'Nokia', 'Micromax', 'Sony'];
var listElement = $('#myList');
var strDOM = '';
for (var i = 0; i <mobiles.length; i++) {
strDOM += '<li>' + mobiles[i] + '</li>';
}
listElement.html(strDOM);
});
</script>
</head>
<body style="border: 1px solid #DED8D8; width: 500px; height: 250px; font-family: Arial;">
<h2 style="color: #FF5722;">create an unordered list byiterating an array</h2>
<ul id="myList">
</ul>
</body>
</html>
Output:
