before() adds the given content right before the specified context, as a
sibling and not at first element (so it is not similiar to the :before
pseudo element selector in CSS).
Here's what I would do for what you need:
HTML:
<div id="container">...</div>
JS:
var jqContainer = $('#container');
jqContainer.before('<a href="#">Toggle</a>').prev('a').click(function() {
jqContainer.toggle();
});
With jQuery 1.0 you would have to put an end() at the end of the chain
to undo prev():
jqContainer.before('<a href="#">Toggle</a>').prev('a').click(function() {
jqContainer.toggle();
}).end();
