Question

Jquery wrapAllInner() ? -- Or wrapAll() applied interally?

Answer 1

+3 A:

Just a .wrapInner() to wrap the contents of the single <body> element works here, like this:

$('body').wrapInner('<div class="container"></div>');

You can test it out here.

The reason .html() doesn't work is .html() without parameters gets the HTML inside the <body> element, a string, which doesn't have any jQuery functions.

Thanks so much! Can't believe I missed that function.

Answer 2

A:

Alternatively, you could insert your div at the start of the body, then loop through the direct children in the body and move them inside the div:

$('body').prepend('<div class="container"></div>') ;
$('body').children().each() function() {
    if(!$(this).hasClass('container')) {
        $(this).prependTo('div.container') ;
    }
}) ;

There's no need for all this moving around, `.wrapInner()` does exactly what the OPs after here.
