Can jQuery create an element by a selector?

Normally I would create an element in jQuery like this $('<div id="errors" class="red"></div>')

Can I create an element given a selector using something like $.create("div#errors.red")? Where that would return a jQuery object representing a div with the id of errors and the class of red?

I dont think you can do that, the closer thing i know is that you can do

var newdiv = $.DIV({ className: "red", id: "errors"});

the div is created and you can append events and stuff directly to the variable
