Description

Hi jQuery team! Kudos for developing web's hottest library, and a question:

today I tried to prepend a div within a div. No luck. App[arently, jQuery doesn't allow to. do so.

Here's what I did:

.prepend('<div id="outer-div"><div id="inner-div"></div></div>')

Alas, only the outer div ended up prepended to the page.

Am I missing something or is jQuery currently lacking the ability to prepend nested elements? Wouldn't it be cool to have this?

Best regards,

Dimitri Vorontzov

I created a test case, but was unable to reproduce the issue. Please update the test case below or provide a new test case on http://jsfiddle.net to help us assess your ticket.

Actually, correction, just to make it perfectly obvious:

Still no trace of that inner div though.

Damn, I'm not functioning porperly today. Had to fix it one more time:

However, still nothing has changed: the inner div is invisible, even though having the z-index of 999 and the color red it should be there.

Am I missing anything still?

OK, I think in this case I can safely say it was my error. However, in a practical situation I encountered today, I really didn't have anything visible in the inner div. Let me try to recreate that very situation and see what happens.

Give me a few mins.

Yep, I'm unable to recreate the issue, either. Now I know I must have made some kidn of coding mistake.

The issue is resolved for me, thank you.

No bug.
