How to get references to added elements

Hello,

Thank you to help me to discover jQuery. I have a very easy question
but i walk around the solutions for days.

//I search for sub-elements with class "test" of paragraphs :
var elementSearched = $("p .test");

//Then I add a new nodes to these elements :
var returnedVar = elementSearched.after("<div class="subtest">Hello</
div>");

My aim is to add handlers already present on other nodes to these new
nodes. But "returnedVar" is not the new nodes added but the old one
targetted. Then I have to search for the new nodes added to apply the
handler. It is hard and if I apply the handler to a node already
handled, my handler is done twice for this node.

How can I have references to the nodes added with .after method ?

Thank you for your help.

Use insertAfter() instead. See

Thank you very much for your help.

But in fact, that does not work. XXX.insertAfter(YYY) needs that XXX
is already a node of the document. And in fact, I want to insert a new
node ("<ZZZ VVV="RRR">...</ZZZ>).

So, the problem is still there...

Do you have an idea to solve it ?

Thanks again for your help
