[jQuery] What's DOM manipulation methods return values?

[jQuery] What's DOM manipulation methods return values?


e.g.
var para = $('p#firstPara').after('<p id="secondPara">...');
now, what's para? $('p#firstPara') or $('p#secondPara')?
in my testing, it's $('p#firstPara'), but i think it should be
$('p#secondPara')...
