Use Jquery to create an element with escaped text + HTML

Question

Here is what I am trying to produce:

"<td>"+name+"<textarea>"+content+"</textarea></td>";

I know jQuery can escape using:

jQuery("<td>", name)

But how do you incorporate some html in addition to it?

You could use jQuery to create DOM elements and their properties/attributes dynamically with something like the following...

var name = 'name';
var content = 'content';

var $td = $('<td>', {
  html: $('<textarea>', {
    rows: 5
  }).text(content)
}).prepend(name);
