Auto-generate jQuery script from HTML

Question

Is there any tool / library which would:

Take HTML markup as input
Auto-generate a jQuery script which, in return, if executed, would
Generate the original HTML?

Nothing personal, but... You're doing something wrong if you need such thing. It depends on how complex your HTML is. If there's something pretty simple, then $('<div class="content">...</div>') will do. — Andrew Dunai

If it is a little more complex, $.parseHTML(...) should help you as well. api.jquery.com/jquery.parsehtml — nils

@AndrewDunai, works perfectly in my case, thanks! You may also add your comment as an answer, I'll accept it (maybe just add a reference to the official doc). — Alex Filipovici

As I wrote in comment, It depends on how complex your HTML is.

If there's something pretty simple, then

$('<div class="content">...</div>')

will return your HTML as DOM element already wrapped in jQuery. Otherwise (if you have scripts, events etc) you'll need to use $.parseHTML (as mentioned by @emergence) and pass extra arguments.

Here's official doc for .parseHTML: http://api.jquery.com/jquery.parsehtml/
