Adding HTML

I'm just curious. Is there a way to do this without incorporating html tags in the Jquery code?

I heard it's best practice to keep things separate. Is this necessarily true?

There is another way to do this. For example at the beginning of the video:

var $select = $("<select></select>");

can be written as:

var $select = $(document.createElement("select"));
