    Notice the difference in the descriptions:

    .wrap(): Wrap an HTML structure around each element in the set of matched elements.
    .wrapAll(): Wrap an HTML structure around all elements in the set of matched elements.

    .wrap() wraps every element individually, but .wrapAll() wraps all of them as a group.

    For example:

    <div class="foo"></div>
<div class="foo"></div>
<div class="foo"></div>

    With $('.foo').wrap('<div class="bar" />');, this happens:

    <div class="bar"><div class="foo"></div></div>
<div class="bar"><div class="foo"></div></div>
<div class="bar"><div class="foo"></div></div>

    But with $('.foo').wrapAll('<div class="bar" />');, this happens:

    <div class="bar">
  <div class="foo"></div>
  <div class="foo"></div>
  <div class="foo"></div>
</div>
