Question

What is difference between detach() and remove() method in jQuery?

Rajkiran Swain · Answer

Though both detach() and remove() method is used to remove a DOM elementMain difference between them is that detach() keep track of the last element detached so that it can be reattached while remove() method does keep reference of last removed method. This is one of the many jQuery interview question from DOM manipulation. You can also take a look on appendTo() for adding element into DOM.

remove() : It removes the matched elements from the DOM detach() : It is like remove() but it keeps the data and events assosiated with that element. So when needed you can insert removed element. Example : var eleDiv = $('div').detach(); ... eleDiv.appendTo('body');
