I’m trying to insert an opening <div class=container> after <body> and a closing </div>

I’m trying to insert an opening <div class="container"> after <body> and a closing </div> before </body>

I’d like for there to be a function like wrapAll() that would apply internally, on the html() of an element. Something like wrapAllInner() would be great.

I’ve tried:

1) $('body').html().wrapAll('<div class="container"></div>');

which didn’t work at all. $(“body”).html().wrapAll is not a function. weird.

2) $('body').children().wrapAll('<div class="container"></div>');

which for some reason caused the js to get repeated twice. It even caused an alert() I placed right after it to get repeated twice. whut?

Thanks so much,

    Just a .wrapInner() to wrap the contents of the single <body> element works here, like this:

    $('body').wrapInner('<div class="container"></div>');

    You can test it out here.

    The reason .html() doesn’t work is .html() without parameters gets the HTML inside the <body> element, a string, which doesn’t have any jQuery functions.
