Jquery .wrap(), Anchors And Ie

I am trying to wrap an anchor-tag around a block of code using jQuery (v1.2.6) by doing the follwing: var link = $('').attr('href','http://www.foo.bar'); $('#block').wrap(

Solution 1:

Updating my jQuery to 1.3+ did the trick.

Apparently var a = $('<a>'); in jQuery 1.2.6 and earlier will create a chunk of code that IE considers invalid and therefore will refuse to insert it into the DOM tree.
