adding a div element via jQuery

Question

In a complex loop that is getting data from Facebook I have to add a blank div with class name out side of an img tag.How do I do that.

//Currently it's like the following
<img src="img" id="imageID"></img>

//Need to get it to following using jQuery
<div class="className"> <img src="img" id="imageID"></img> </div>

//Script

$(#imageID).prepend("<div">).addClass("className").append(</div>");

You have to wrap the ID-Selector into string literals and should use $.wrap():

$('#imageID').wrap('<div class="className">');
