The problem with that approach is, why even use jQuery for that? Might as
well use .innerHTML = ...
I was hoping to develop a pattern that could be reused, so that the SRC, or
wrapping elements (BR's in this example) can be programmatically set or
modified. This approach does not facilitate that.
Thanks for the feedback though.
