inserting html within a div with jQuery Not sure what I am doing wrong

[Jerrell_B]

I would like to have the following jQuery script inserted into my a div tag '#works 'in index.html . Can anyone tell me what i am doing wrong?

("#works").append(' 
          <a id="port"   rel="nofollow" href="#"> <img class="work html" src="images/photos/Gartner.jpg" alt="Gartner" /> </a> 
         
          <a id="port-2" rel="nofollow" href="#"> <img class="work html" src="images/photos/MasterCard.jpg" alt="MasterCard" /> </a>
     
          <a id="port-3" rel="nofollow" href="#"> <img class="work js" src="images/photos/FYI.jpg" alt="FYI FreeScore.com" /> </a>
          
          <a id="port-4" rel="nofollow" href="#"> <img class="work css" src="images/photos/IAMSC.jpg" alt="IAMS Daily Cats" /> </a>
                    
          <a id="port-5" rel="nofollow" href="#"> <img class="work js" src="images/photos/PeoplesWM.jpg" alt="Peoples United Bank Wealth Managament" /> </a>
                   
          <a id="port-6" rel="nofollow" href="#"> <img class="work js" src="images/photos/PeoplesFA.jpg" alt="Peoples United Bank Financial Advisors" /> </a>
          
          <a id="port-7" rel="nofollow" href="#"> <img class="work html" src="./images/photos/MacHeist.jpg" alt="MacHeist Black Friday App Sale" /> </a>
                   
          <a id="port-8" rel="nofollow" href="#"> <img class="work flash" src="images/photos/Kraft.jpg" alt="Kraft DiGiorno Pizza Ad" /> </a>
          
          <a id="port-9" rel="nofollow" href="#"> <img class="work flash" src="images/photos/CAClosets.jpg" alt="California Closets Ad" /> </a> 
          
          <a id="port-10" rel="nofollow" href="#"> <img class="work flash" src="images/photos/CARep.jpg" alt="California Republic Ad" />

It should read:

$("#works").append

or if there's the potential for conflicts with other libraries use this:

jQuery("#works").append

I tried both suggestions but neither is working for some reason. Is .append() the correct event ? I've also tried appendTo() and html() and neither seems to work.

$(window).on("load",function () {
		jQuery("#works").append(' 
          <a id="port"   rel="nofollow" href="#"> <img class="work html" src="images/photos/Gartner.jpg" alt="Gartner" /> </a> 
         
          <a id="port-2" rel="nofollow" href="#"> <img class="work html" src="images/photos/MasterCard.jpg" alt="MasterCard" /> </a>
     
          <a id="port-3" rel="nofollow" href="#"> <img class="work js" src="images/photos/FYI.jpg" alt="FYI FreeScore.com" /> </a>
          
          <a id="port-4" rel="nofollow" href="#"> <img class="work css" src="images/photos/IAMSC.jpg" alt="IAMS Daily Cats" /> </a>
                    
          <a id="port-5" rel="nofollow" href="#"> <img class="work js" src="images/photos/PeoplesWM.jpg" alt="Peoples United Bank Wealth Managament" /> </a>
                   
          <a id="port-6" rel="nofollow" href="#"> <img class="work js" src="images/photos/PeoplesFA.jpg" alt="Peoples United Bank Financial Advisors" /> </a>
          
          <a id="port-7" rel="nofollow" href="#"> <img class="work html" src="./images/photos/MacHeist.jpg" alt="MacHeist Black Friday App Sale" /> </a>
                   
          <a id="port-8" rel="nofollow" href="#"> <img class="work flash" src="images/photos/Kraft.jpg" alt="Kraft DiGiorno Pizza Ad" /> </a>
          
          <a id="port-9" rel="nofollow" href="#"> <img class="work flash" src="images/photos/CAClosets.jpg" alt="California Closets Ad" /> </a> 
          
          <a id="port-10" rel="nofollow" href="#"> <img class="work flash" src="images/photos/CARep.jpg" alt="California Republic Ad" /> 
          
          <a id="port-11" rel="nofollow" href="#"> <img class="work js" src="images/photos/IKEA.jpg" alt="IKEA" /></a>
          
          <a id="port-12" rel="nofollow" href="#"> <img class="work css" src="images/photos/IAMSD.jpg" alt="IAMS Daily Dogs" /></a>
          
		');
	});

Make sure you put your code between document.ready.

$(document).ready(function(){
  ("#works").append(' 
    ... code here ...
  ');
});

append() is now loading content into a div #works on my index.html. I have a filter in place to hide and show the appended content based on the elements class (eg. .css, .js, .html).

for some reason my filter is no longer working. I have tried applying .live() , .on() , and .bind( ) to my filter but it is still not working.

Does anyone know what I am doing wrong?

filter code:

    $('#works_filter a').live('click',function() {
            var selector = $(this).attr('data-filter');
            $('div#works').isotope({
                filter: selector,
                itemSelector: 'img.work',
                layoutMode: 'fitRows'
            });
    
            $('#works_filter').find('a.selected').removeClass('selected');
            $(this).addClass('selected');
        
            return false;
        });

appended content:

    $(window).load(function(){
    
    		$("#works").append('<a id="port" rel="nofollow" href="#"><img class="work html" src="images/photos/Gartner.jpg" alt="Gartner" /></a> <a id="port-2" rel="nofollow" href="#"><img class="work html" src="images/photos/MasterCard.jpg" alt="MasterCard" /></a> <a id="port-3" rel="nofollow" href="#"><img class="work js" src="images/photos/FYI.jpg" alt="FYI FreeScore.com" /></a> <a id="port-4" rel="nofollow" href="#"> <img class="work css" src="images/photos/IAMSC.jpg" alt="IAMS Daily Cats" /></a> <a id="port-5" rel="nofollow" href="#"><img class="work js" src="images/photos/PeoplesWM.jpg" alt="Peoples United Bank Wealth Managament" /></a>  <a id="port-6" rel="nofollow" href="#"> <img class="work js" src="images/photos/PeoplesFA.jpg" alt="Peoples United Bank Financial Advisors" /></a>');
    		});
