I found this:

In programming, a wrapper is a program or script that sets the stage and makes possible the running of another, more important program.
Hope that helps you,
Lee.

Not sure - generally i class div's that are "wrappers" around elements so maybe a container or namespace for something?

Wrapper code is using a higher level language to call functions in a lower level language. ie writing python modules to call C language functions. The curl library is a good example of this . Since Python, Perl and PHP are all written in C, you could say these scripting languages are all wrapper code.

Isn't that the job of compiler? It translates into the lower level language from the higher level...

A wrapper is a piece of code that wraps or abstracts the use of another piece of code. For example, say you wrote a set of Java classes to handle temperature conversion. Now you want to use these in your ColdFusion application. But you don't want any of your CF developers to worry about how the Java classes are implemented, or even require them to know that Java classes are being used at all. You could write a CFC that uses the Java classes, and then all of your developers would just use your CFC. Your CFC is a "wrapper" for the Java classes.
