You can't insert invalid HTML into the DOM.
Use the nextUntil plugin by John Resig (I'm starting to think this
belongs in the core):
$.fn.nextUntil = function(expr) {
var match = [];
this.each(function(){
for( var i = this.nextSibling; i; i = i.nextSibling ) {
if ( i.nodeType != 1 ) continue;
if ( jQuery.filter( expr, [i] ).length ) break;
match.push( i );
}
});
return this.pushStack( match, arguments );
};
then you can do this:
$('h2').each(function(){
$(this).nextUntil('h2').wrapAll('<div class="contents" />');
});
