JQuery - Unfamiliar notation
<p>I am modifying a javascript file in which they have used the following code. Does anyone know what this does / where it is documented / etc. It appears it is creating an anchor node and giving it the inner html of "Back", but I'm not sure how it works or what it's capabilities are, as I need to add various attributes to the link:</p>

<pre><code>$("&lt;a id=&gt;").html("Back");
</code></pre>

<p>Thanks!</p>
