after the append, you can keep the chain going at the freshly appended
by finding the last child.
by following
$(this).parents("div.sidebarToDo").find("td.sidebarText").empty().append('<input
type="text" value="" size="10" class="editableItem">')
with
.children(':last')
since append creates a new last child.
then continue with other jquery calls
similarly I use parent(':last') after a wrap() to continue with the
new wrapping.
