jQuery: What is this structure?
<p>What is the following structure called:</p>

<pre><code>$('', { })
</code></pre>

<p>I see it often, for instance here from appending options to select elements:</p>

<pre><code>$("#items").append($('&lt;option&gt;', { value : "mouthForWar" , text : "Pantera" }));
</code></pre>

<p>In the more general sense, is there any place where the different jQuery structures, formats, and syntax is concised on a single page? If one does not know the name of the syntax he is looking for, then there is no way to google for it!</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>
