Getting jQuery-inserted DOM elements without requerying for element after insertion

Question

Assuming I insert anything in my DOM with jQuery, like so:

$(\'#someselector\').prepend(\'\');
         


        

Answer 1

You can try something like this:

$('#someselector')
    .prepend('')
    .find('#someid');

Or if there's only one img:

$('#someselector')
    .prepend('')
    .find('img');

Alternatively:

$('').prependTo('#someselector')
