When attempting to use append to add a button (complete with click event handler) to multiple elements, the button appears however the click events are not bound.

This only appears to effect browsers that use addEventListener, in IE it works as expected.

The following does not bind an event to the buttons

var button = $("<input type='button' value='Click Me!' />").click(function(){
  alert("hello");
});
//there are 2 divs inside #append
$("#append div").append(button);

However using

button.appendTo("#appendto div");

works as expected in all browsers tested (FF3, Opera9, Safari3 (Win), IE6, IE7).

Both methods work when using jQuery 1.2.6 or if you're appending to a single element.
