append div before last child in jQuery 1.3

Question

I am using jquery 1.3.(x) (don't remember the exact version name).
I have a variable holder that contains elements.
I would like to add a div at the n-1 position inside holder.
In jquery 1.4 I can do holder.children().last().before('<div />');.
How can I do it using jquery 1.3?

Try this:

$("<div>New DIV</div>").insertBefore($(":last-child", holder));
