This looks certainly interesting. I prefer this to using .children(":last"), as that seems somewhat hacky and potentially brittle. However, I'm not so sure about using .parent() instead of .end() - though perhaps that's just because I'd have to adjust existing code if I were to change this now... By the way, Mike suggested using "attach" instead of "create" for the method's name, which I've now adopted. Thanks proppy!

$.fn.create = function(html) {
return $(html).appendTo(this);
};

$(“<div>”).create(“<h2>”).addClass(className).text(heading).parent().create(“<p>”).text(body).parent().appendTo(container);

I agree that "create" is not an ideal appellation for this method (too generic, doesn't imply change of focus). While "push" first confused me (was thinking of Git rather than arrays), it actually kinda makes sense when seen in that context. Thanks Mike.

BTW I'm using "push" instead of "create" as I feel it conveys the intent more clearly. (Although "push" doesn't encapsulate creation, it's obvious from the context - $("").push(""). All this has been very useful to me.
