Definition and Usage
The prepend() method inserts specified content at the beginning of (but still inside) the selected elements.
Tip: The prepend() and prependTo()
methods do the same thing. The difference is in the syntax: the placement of the content and selector,
and that prependTo() cannot insert content using a function.
Syntax
$(selector).prepend(content) |
