You can create a "Document tree" using the `$` function:
var foo = $("<div><p>blah</p></div>").find("p").css("color", "red").end();
Then append it to any element you want to:
$(document.body).append(foo);

Using the method described above your code can be simplified to:
$(html).find("li").css("color", "red").end().appendTo("#someSelector");
