prependTo( content )

Prepend all of the matched elements to another, specified, set of elements.
This operation is, essentially, the reverse of doing a regular $(A).prepend(B), in that instead of prepending B to A, you're prepending A to B.
Arguments:
contentString
target to which the content will be prepended.

Examples:
Prepends all spans to the element with the ID "foo"

$("span").prependTo("#foo"); // check prepend() examples
