jQuery: What's the difference between after() and insertAfter()

Question

jQuery has an .after() method, and also an .insertAfter() method.

What\'s the difference between them? I think I can use .after()

Answer 1

It also seems that passing attributes of the inserted element doesn't work with ".insertAfter", but works with ".after"

works:

$('#element').after('
Test
', { 'class': 'element_class', 'id': 'element_id' });

doesn't work:

$('
Test
', { 'class': 'element_class', 'id': 'element_id' }).insertAfter('#element');

*edit: seems it doesn't work with ".after" neither, but only with ".appendTo"
