.after()

[[email protected]…]

jQuery 1.8.0, 1.8.1 and 1.8.2: $collection.after($elem) adds $elem to $collection jQuery set.

Can you provide a test case on jsfiddle.net?

What should .after() and .before() do to the current set vs. the pushStack set?

[dmethvin]

As we discussed, the problem is that .after(content) was intended to have two different behaviors:

• If the first element in the jQuery set is connected to a document, the content is placed after each element in the set, and the original set is returned.

• If the first element in the jQuery set is disconnected, the content is added to the end of a new (pushStack()ed) set, and that is returned.

We've had this broken in different ways in different versions. I think we should remove the second behavior and always treat elements the same way.

Refactored before/after/replaceWith to not pushStack. Fixes #12664, closes gh-987

I think this refactoring makes before/after/replaceWith more obvious and cause them to work more naturally.

Thank you all.
