[jQuery] Re: appendingTo a just created element

Ah, very sorry about that mistype, but that is in fact what I am doing
(just replaced my code wrong when I changed what I have to 'someID')

Here's what I have, exactly:

$('<div/>')
.attr('id', 'ntww-'+serial)
.insertBefore(elm);
$('<p/>')
.appendTo('#ntww-'+serial);

Sorry about that and thanks for the reply!
