Inserting one element inside another in jQuery

Question

Hi,

I'm trying to figure out how to add one element inside another using jQuery.

For example, if I have a list:

<ul class="someList">
    <li>One</li>
    <li>Two</li>
</ul>

...and I run $("ul.someList").prepend("<li>Zero</li>"); then I will end up with this:

<ul class="someList">
    <li>Zero</li>
    <li>One</li>
    <li>Two</li>
</ul>

That's great. However, if the list is empty...

<ul class="someList">

</ul>

...then $("ul.someList").prepend("<li>Zero</li>"); simply does not work. Is there a method of prepending the list item when there are no existing list items as well as if there are some already?

Thanks in advance.

Yes, it should work. Post your complete code?
