Create new element by jQuery each time ajax is triggered

I am struggling with the idea of, adding elements to DOM for each time I triggered an AJAX call by jQuery.

I just want to ask if this is a possible solution or I should not do it through AJAX if I want elements each time I triggered an event.

The code below refresh the text everytime I triggered the AJAX call, I want it to add whole new element instead of refreshing.

The problem is I can't stack the new element each time I called an AJAX function. For example, when I trigger 100 times ajax, I expect 100 new elements will appear, and the real situation is it only refresh each time I trigger the ajax function.

Here is the code I have written.

function successAJAX(response){
        response = $.parseJSON(response);
        var priceHTML = document.createElement('p');
        priceHTML.innerText= "foo";
        $("#priceContainer").append(priceHTML);
    }
