1) I think it's a good way. $("#some").after("yourhtml"); to insert
some tags after...
2) you could save "form#question-setup fieldset:last" for example...so
var f = $("form#question-setup fieldset:last");
f.after("...").slideDown("fast").filter("input[type=text]").focus();
f.filter("div.question-remove").click(handler);
But you know the code, the children, etc... :)
3) I don't know ... I use children() often...but it depends on the
cases
