proper .append() syntax

[noahgelman]

I want to add a function to the end of an .append() statement. What would be the proper syntax for that? Am I even allowed to do that? I tried this and it didn’t seem to want to take. It appended the link properly, but the rest was a no go.

Code:

$(‘#target’).append(‘‘, function() {
$(‘a’).addClass(‘blue’);

I can’t tell exactly from your code what you are trying to do, but it seems a bit like this:

Code:

$(‘#target’)
.append(‘‘)
.find(“a”)
.addClass(‘blue’);

I didn’t have a specific goal in mind, that was just an example. It was mostly out of curiosity. I ran into an issue with reapplying java to new DOM elements and I couldn’t get .live() to cooperate so I figured if I could add a function to the end of an .append() I could just roll everything up into one.
