Hmmm...
Actually, after some tests I found my idea of this to be false. You
can indeed attach event handlers before an element is inserted into
the DOM. Sorry :D
But I don't know what's weirder: this construct for wrapping/attaching
a handler at the same time or that the wrap() function prevents
yea! weird huh?
yes the workarounds do work (and there's even a few more that i can
think of) but i was simply scratching my head when i came up against
the problem.
ill see if i can make sense of the source, and perhaps submit a ticket

i don't see how creating the element, assigning the handler, and
replacing or appending something works... yet, creating the element,

sorry for the double post, not sure how that happened.
ricardo, your code is missing a closing ) at the end. it should be...

I believe you can't assing an event handler to an element before it is
added to the DOM. This works for me:
$('b').wrap($('').click(function(){
alert("foo");
});
Or if you want the click event assigned to and not
$('b').wrap($('').parent().click(function(){
alert("foo");
});
