jQuery dynamic slider

Question

Any idea why this won't work? What I'm trying to do is add some div tags dynamically and then apply them with a slider.

    $(function () {

        var testarea =  $('<div id="testarea" />');

        for (var i = 0; i < 3; i++) {
            $('<div class="testslider"></div>').appendTo(testarea);
        }

        $('#somearea').html(testarea.html());

        $(".testslider").slider({
            value: 100,
            min: 0,
            max: 500,
            step: 100,
            slide: function (event, ui) {
            }
        });
   });

html:

<div id="somearea"></div>

If I just add the div tags normally like so then its ok so I'm not too sure how to apply it dynamically.

May as well just do it in one go anyway

$(function () {
    for (var i = 0; i < 3; i++) {
        $('<div class="testslider"/>').slider({
            value: 100,
            min: 0,
            max: 500,
            step: 100,
            slide: function (event, ui) {
            }
        }).appendTo('#testarea');
    }
});
