hello again...
why would this work...
$('#somediv').before('I am just text').after('I am also just text');
result: I am just text<div id="somediv">...</div>I am also just text
but this would not?
$('#somediv').before('<table><tr><td>').after('</td></tr></table>');
result: <table><tr><td></td></tr></table><div id="somediv">...</div>
does jQuery not like incomplete, i.e. unclosed tags?
