Hi all. Firstly, sorry for my English (I'm from China).

By reading this article(http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2421719/how-to-apply-jquery-element-selection-to-a-string-variable), I can successfully get Elements from a String which stores HTML text. For example:

var htmlstr = "<div><ul><li>some text 1</li></ul></div><div><ul id=list><li>some text 2</li></ul></div>";
var s = $('ul#list', $(htmlstr)).html();

s will be <li>some text 2</li>. It's what I want.

But the question is, if I want to add another LI element to this string (htmlstr) how can I do?

I set s = new html string but htmlstr doesn't change.

Thanks
