Is it necessary to refresh the page in order to display the injected jQuery UI elements

I am currently developing a jQuery Plugin for a basic game. The game inserts all required HTML into the div where it is called and links its CSS file to the header. However, I have encountered an issue when trying to reload only specific elements, such as jQuery UI Sliders, after injecting them. If I use location.reload after the injection, it refreshes the page to its original state without the added HTML. On the other hand, if I don't call it, everything displays correctly except for the sliders. Is there a way to reload just those sliders so they appear after being dynamically injected? (The HTML works perfectly fine when pasted directly into the test HTML file body; the problem arises when inserting it dynamically, like when triggering a button click.)

Below is some of the code snippet that I am using to achieve this: // Load the HTML and CSS. $("head").append( ''); $("body").append(''); $("#load-button").remove();

    $("#game").append(
        "<!-- Generated Swatch-->\n" +
        "<div id='generatedSwatch' class ='ui-widget-content ui-corner-all'></div> </br>\n" +
        "<!-- Score -->\n" +
        "<p id='score'>Score: 0</p>\n" +
        "<!-- Sliders -->\n" +
        "<div class='slider-row'>\n" +
        "    <div id='red'></div>\n" +
        "    <input type='text' id='rval' class='input-box'></input> </br>\n" +
        "</div>\n" +
        "<div class='slider-row'>\n" +
        "    <div id='green'></div>\n" +
        "    <input type='text' id='gval' class='input-box'></input> </br>\n" +
        "</div>\n" +
        "<div class='slider-row'>\n" +
        "    <div id='blue'></div>\n" +
        "    <input type='text' id='bval' class='input-box'></input> </br>\n" +
        "</div>\n" +
        "<!-- Got It Button -->\n" +
        "<button id='got-it' onclick='calculateScore()' class='button'>Got It</button>\n" +
        "<!-- Picked Swatch -->\n" +
        "<div id='pickedSwatch' class='ui-widget-content ui-corner-all'></div>\n" +
        "<!-- Percent Error -->\n" +
        "<p id='error'>Percent Error: </p>\n" +
        "<!-- Next Button -->\n" +
        "<button id='next' onclick='generateSwatch()' class='button'>Next</button>\n" +
        "<!-- Game Over Message -->\n" +
        "<p id='game-over'>Game Over</p>\n" +
        "<!-- Play Again -->\n" +
        "<button id='play-again' onclick='playAgain()' class='button'>Play Again</button>"
    );

    // Hide Elements.
    $("#pickedSwatch").hide();
    $("#error").hide();
    $("#next").hide();
    $("#game-over").hide();
    $("#play-again").hide();

    // Make Sliders Work
    $("#red,#green,#blue").slider(
    {
        orientation: "horizontal",
        range: "min",
        max: 255,
        value: 127,
        slide: refreshSwatch,
        change: refreshSwatch
    });
    $("#red").slider( "value", 255);
    $("#green").slider( "value", 140);
    $("#blue").slider("value", 60);

    // Code to move slider when box changed.
    $("#rval").change(function() 
    {
        $("#red").slider("value", $(this).val());
    });
    $("#gval").change(function() 
    {
        $("#green").slider("value", $(this).val());
    });
    $("#bval").change(function() 
    {
        $("#blue").slider("value", $(this).val());
    });

    // Generates the swatch for the first time and sets the turns.
    generateSwatch();

In most cases, there is no need to use location.reload as jQuery is capable of updating the page without a refresh. The data injected here will be lost because jQuery manipulates the DOM after it has loaded and does not preserve state unless specified.
