[Liam Potter]

why would you be doing this with jquery anyway?

Don't you think I thought about using that straight away?

How can I wrap a group of elements in the DOM when I don't know what
elements will be there in first place. I'm aiming to wrap,
essentially, a blog post, so:

$(document).ready(function(){
        $('h2').wrap('<div class="scrollablePost"></div>');
        }); // would be fine

...but try doing this:

$(document).ready(function(){
        $('<h2><bunchOfOtherElements?>...</bunchOfOtherElements?><div
class="postmetadata"></div>').wrap('<div class="scrollablePost"></
div>');
        });

Yo guys,

I need to wrap this chuck of HTML in a <div>:http://is.gd/2qatX Any thoughts? $(document).ready(function(){

        $('<div class="scrollablePost">').insertBefore('.page-id-9 h2');
        $('</div>').insertAfter('.page-id-9 .postmetadata');
        });

...just pumps out <div class="scrollablePost" /> at both ends, as

you'll see from the above screenshot.

Thanks,
