Example

prepend() - Insert content, specified by the parameter, to the beginning of each element in the set of matched elements.

1. prepend( content [, content ] )

// with html string
jQuery('#parent').prepend('<span>child</span>');
// or you can use jQuery object
jQuery('#parent').prepend($('#child'));
// or you can use comma seperated multiple elements to prepend
jQuery('#parent').prepend($('#child1'),$('#child2'));

2. prepend(function)

JQuery version: 1.4 onwards you can use callback function as the argument. Where you can get arguments as index position of the element in the set and the old HTML value of the element. Within the function, this refers to the current element in the set.

jQuery('#parent').prepend(function(i,oldHTML){      
     // return the value to be prepend
     return  '<span>child</span>';
});
