jQuery - Wrap div to a specific element

<div id="last"></div>
<p id="text">text</p>
<a id="link" href="xxx">link</a>

Suppose I have the code above, how can I wrap a <div></div> to the a element, and insert it after div element, the result should be:

<div id="last"></div>
<div><a id="link" href="xxx">link</a></div>
<p id="text">text</p>

Tried the code below, but not works

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
  <script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.4.4.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="last"></div>
<p id="text">text</p>
<a id="link" href="xxx">link</a>

<script>
$('#link').wrap('<div></div>').detach().insertAfter('#last');
</script>

</body>
</html>

Thanks you

$('#link').wrap('<div></div>'); don't need to detach or insertAfter, just use wrap function

Should look like:

$('#link').wrap('<div></div>').parent().insertAfter('#last');

Example: http://www.jsfiddle.net/4yUqL/2/

Ref.: .wrap()

In order to effectively do a Cut and Paste action on your element, you want to first wrap it in the DIV tags, detach it from the DOM and then insert it back in your target location (i.e. your "last" element):

$('#link').wrap('<div></div>').detach().insertAfter('#last');

This should do the trick

$("#link").wrap("<div></div>").detach().insertAfter("#last")
