[jQuery] Newbie: .after to add an image ref into code

[artpunx]

Hello list!

Apologies if this is a recurrent request!

I would like to append an image after an <a href...., so far I have my
html:

<a href="#" name="foo" target="_blank" class="openInNewWindow">open in
new window</a>

and my first attempt at jQuery:

$('.openInNewWindow').after('<img src="images/newWindow.gif" /
>').attr('target','_blank');

....to obtain the following:

<a href="#" name="foo" target="_blank" class="openInNewWindow">open in
new window</a><img src="images/newWindow.gif" />

....but nothing happens!!!

Am I pointing in the right direction?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated

Thanks

AMWJ
