The HTML code you pass in to the append/prepend/etc functions gets converted to actual DOM nodes first, then it gets added to the DOM tree. This effectively means you can only append/prepend/etc "whole" tags. This isn't a bug.
If you want to "wrap" a bunch of tags in another tag use the "wrapAll" function: http://docs.jquery.com/Manipulation/wrapAll Karl Rudd On Wed, Jul 16, 2008 at 10:32 AM, Stefan Petrea <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hi, > > I've noticed recently while trying to use .append that > for example when I append a </p> tag in reality jQuery > appends "<p></p>". > I consider this a bug. > Is it expected behaviour ? > What should I do ? > > Thank you > > > -- > > Stefan Petrea > homepage : http://perlhobby.googlecode.com/ > mobile phone : +40732070179 > >
