OK, thanks, that works in this case.  But say for some reason I need
to add a class to the <div> dynamically.  What would the syntax be to
shift focus to that element after appending it to #edit-square-area so
that I could use addClass?

$('<div class="error">'+errorMessage+'</div>').insertAfter(('#edit- 
square-area').addClass('foo');

or if you want to add the class later:

var $error = $('<div class="error">'+errorMessage+'</ 
div>').insertAfter(('#edit-square-area');
// do whatever
$error.addClass('foo');
