It should. I just typed this into my Firebug console on a page including jQuery:
$('body').append('<div id="test"></div>'); $('#test').append('<p>'+ $('#test').children().size() +'</p>'); $('#test').append('<p>'+ $('#test').children().size() +'</p>'); $('#test').append('<p>'+ $('#test').children().size() +'</p>'); Seemed to work as expected....
