.wrap()
This duplicates the result from before (see Figure 2-14).
The .wrap() method allows developers to enclose existing elements with one or more new elements
quickly and easily.
The argument accepted by .wrap() can either be a collection of one or more tags to wrap around the
selected elements, or a callback function to generate the tags.
First, wrap all the spans in the example document with a strong tag using the following:
$("span").wrap("");
This results in the text of the two spans becoming bold (see Figure 2-8).
Figure 2-8. The spans appear bold after wrapping them with strong tags
The syntax used for the wrapping element is relatively forgiving, and the output shown in Figure 2-7
could have been accomplished using either "", "", or "".
Additionally, multiple tags can be wrapped around elements by passing a nested set of tags to the
.wrap() method:
$("span").wrap("");
After executing the preceding line, the text in the spans will appear bold and italicized (see
Figure 2-9).
