Hi, I did, in fact, want to wrap the child elements. These I then
manipulate for positioning. The error I made was a rookie mistake, using
"span" rather than "<span></span>". In the absence of an element tag in the
wrap, jQuery then proceeds to analyse the existing tags, finding the deepest
element, it duplicated it and used it to wrap the elements.
Thanks,
Julian
