Jquery - APPEND is not a function
<p>I am looking to find the html in first header in the page and add some html to it. Seems pretty simple but it is not working. I appreciate any help I can get. Thanks!</p>

<pre><code>var str = $('h1:first').html();
$('h1:first').html(str.append("(&lt;a class="dialogM" href="/alerts/alert1.html" title="Medical"&gt;&lt;img src="/images/alert1.gif"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;)"));
</code></pre>

<p>The error it is giving is - "TypeError: str.append is not a function"</p>
