Generally you can write it two way:
$('a').appendTo("#sandbox") or $("#sandbox").append("a")
but you can't do that with their text nodes,
and it feels easier if you write it in a chain.
I know what append does but as I said there's no such method that
replaces the content from this direction.
I like this but I'm not fully convinced either, just an idea :)
