jQuery - .appendTo a specific part of an object

I have a jQuery object (named wid) that has a code similar to this:

<li class='widget'>
    <div class='widget-head'>
        <h3>head</h3></div>
    <div class='widget-content'>
        <p>LINE1</p>
        <p>LINE2</p>
    </div>
</li>

I want to append <p>LINE3</p> after the last line of the content. Currently I'm doing this:

var content = $('.widget-content');
var $newItem = $('<p>LINE3</p>').appendTo($(content).last(), wid);

but the problem is that it appends the line to the last line of the last gadget (not wid). How can I make it append to the last line of the wid and not the last widget?

var content = $('.widget-content', wid); //or beter wid.find('.widget-content');
var $newItem = $('<p>LINE3</p>').appendTo(content);

You missplaced context - it should be in content query. Also, you dont have to wrap again content into jq object, and assuming you have only one content in widget, you dont have to use last.

Try following:

$('<p>LINE3</p>').appendTo(wid.find('.widget-content'));

According to documentation .appendTo() doesnt' have overloaded function with 2 params.
