syntax issue with javascript/jquery

Question

I'm creating a list with jquery

$('<li value="0" onclick="'if(cond){ }'"> </li>).appendTo('#ul list');

The problem is in the section onclick, can someone tell me the right syntax?

what exactly are you trying to achieve? and li has not a value attribute. — Fabrizio Calderan

Next time, check the browser's error console first. Your code throws. — Šime Vidas

Btw, LI elements don't have a value attribute, i.e. the HTML standard doesn't define such an attribute for LI elements. — Šime Vidas

Since you use jQuery, then don't use the onclick attribute.

$('<li>').attr('value', '0').click(function() {
  if (cond) {
    //...
  }
}).appendTo('#ul list');

This would achieve what I suppose the user was asking. But the expression "#ul list" for the selector seems strange to me.

@emas You may be right, but that is what the OP is using. I am also not sure what what list references. I think he wants $('#list') and is confused about the # symbol. I think he wants the UL named LIST.
