Add necessary code and describe your issue properly. Do you want to add `::before` from jQuery ?? — Pugazh, Apr 01 '16 at 07:46

you have to add a class directly to the element and then style it´s :before

example html:

<div>
  text
</div>

CSS:

.before-styling::before{
  content:'before';
}

JS:

$("div").addClass('before-styling');
