Thanks.  I did resort to wrappers. I actually wound up going the other
direction.  I won't bore you with my app but I inserted an inner
wrapper and then grabbed the html.

$('#content').wrapInner('<div id="template"></div>')
var stuffToSave = $('#content').html();

then after some back and forth with the server the content is loaded
via
$('#content').load(stuffISaved);

your method keeps the extra div out though and that's sexier. My inner
nerd might make me switch to it.

Thank you,
Will
