creating an element and setting its attribute with jQuery

I'm trying to create an <ol> element with jQuery and set its class and id attributes. Is there any way to do this 开发者_如何学编程all at once? None of my ideas have worked so far, I'm still very new to jQuery...

There are at least a couple of different ways to do this:

$('<input id="something" class="something-else" type="text" />')
      .appendTo('#someSelector');

or

$('<input type="text" />').attr('id','something')
                          .addClass('something-else')
                          .appendTo('#someSelector');
