[jQuery] Re: HELP: a = $('foobar'); a.after('xyz') not adding element

Nodes can be manipulated without being part of the DOM, for example like
this:

var node = $('<div class="aewsoem"></div>')[0];

$('<span class="great"></span>').appendTo(node);

$("body").append(node);

Just note that jQuery always returns a collection of nodes, so if you
create one to access it you have to take the first from this collection
with the [0].
