Please, kindly do not follow the low quality articles from W3Schools. For your solution:

  • The btn is not a jQuery object. It is a JavaScript HTMLElement.
  • The .prepend() function is a jQuery function.

Your code now should be:

$(document).ready(function(){
  $("#btn1").click(function(){
    var btn = $(this);
    btn.prepend("<b>Prepended text</b>. ");
  });
});

Working Snippet

$(document).ready(function(){
  $("#btn1").click(function(){
    var btn = $(this);
    btn.prepend("<b>Prepended text</b>. ");
  });
});
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis./ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<p>This is a paragraph.</p>
<button id="btn1">Prepend text</button>

See the working snippet above. Click on the Run Code Snippet and click the button inside.

The error appears because createElement() returns a DOMElement which does not have an append() method; that's only available on jQuery objects. You need to either wrap the DOMElement to a jQuery object or, better yet, create the element in jQuery:

$("#btn1").click(function(){
     var btn = $('<button />');     
     btn.prepend("<b>Prepended text</b>. ");
     // add the btn to the DOM somewhere...
});
