I've needed this myself and have seen this come up on the list a few times.
Although, the jQuery core makes this pretty easy to accomplish ... it should
involve less typing and be more explicit. I've gone ahead and created a
proper jQuery.fn.innerWrap method. It works much the same way wrap does ...
just does it on the inside instead of outside. :)
You can find the source and example here:

i want to turn

$("a").prepend("<span>").append("</span>");
doesnt work because of the open tag. the first span is closed and the
second span is thrown away. (this quality should be noted in the docs,
i think.)
$("a").wrap()
would apply content to the outside of the link
$("a").html().wrap(..)
html() breaks chaining
which leaves us with
$('a').each(function(){ $(this).html('<span>'+ $(this).html() +'</
span>') });
surely there is a less ugly way, or no?
if not, i would like to propose something along the lines of
innerWrap(). same as wrap() but applies content to inside of element.
