How to append list items without creating a new html element in JQuery?

[saleem]

I have an unordered list with several list elements. Now via Jquery I would like to load more items from my database and then append them to my list. My code:\[code\]$("#somediv").append($("<div>").load("ajax.php?action=getresults", function(){ $('#busy').delay(1500).fadeOut(700);}));\[/code\]The problem here is that I dont want to add a new html to my unordered list as my list items will be "created" by my ajax request. So my ajax request will e.g. return \[code\]<li>some value</li>\[/code\] and then this should be appended to the \[code\]ul\[/code\]. So actually I would like to do something like\[code\]$("#somediv").append($("").load("ajax.php?action=getresults", function(){ $('#busy').delay(1500).fadeOut(700);}));\[/code\]What would be the solution to append content without creating a new html element (in this case the div element) in JQuery?
