Question

Hi I have a wrap() that is working fine, but the problem is, I need to be able to tell it where to start the wrap (by an element ID..#start) and where to end it (again, by an element ID…#end). Is this possible? Did I do a good job of phrasing the question? Thanks.

If you’re really trying to wrap from one sibling to the next in a containing div, you can do it like this:

function wrap(begin, end) {
    var start = $(begin); 
    var div = $("<div>").addClass("wrap").insertBefore(start);
    start.nextUntil(end).add(start).add(end).appendTo(div);
    return(div);
}
