Yesterday I was working on some code and scratching my head on why my seemingly simple code wasn't working:
$("<div>inner</div>") .appendTo("<div>outer</div>") .appendTo("body"); Only the <div>inner</div> was getting appended to the <body> tag. Then I realized why--I wasn't thinking about the jQuery chain correctly. That led me to write a blog entry today: http://blog.pengoworks.com/blogger/index.cfm?action=blog:611 For those of you who don't know why my example didn't work, go read my blog for the full breakdown. :) -Dan PS - My blog doesn't contain ads.
