How can I add an element after another element?

try using the after() method:

$('#bla').after('<div id="space"></div>');

html jquery append insertafter

try

.insertAfter()

here

$(content).insertAfter('#bla');

html jquery append insertafter

First of all, input element shouldn't have a closing tag (from http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/interact/forms.html#edef-INPUT : End tag: forbidden).

Second thing, you need the after(), not append() function.
