jQuery add an element inside another one with text in it

Question

I'm looking to add some content inside an existing div.

I'm getting the amount of images contained in another div with the following line

var n = $("div#content img").length;

I've got that element I'm trying to insert content into

<div id="imgCount"></div>

I do know that I can insert the value of my n var into it by doing this

$("#imgCount").text(n);

I do know as well that I can insert HTML into it by doing the following

$('#imgCount').append('<a href="#">sometext</a>');

but I'd like to combine both of them to get the following result :

<div id="imgCount"> <a href="#"> n </a> </div>

$('#imgCount').append('<a href="#">'+n+'</a>');

Something like this?

Ok this is a very very basic one. You should get started with Javascript basics soon

$('#imgCount').append('<a href="#">' + n + '</a>');
