jquery - Create a div before another -

i have script jquery validation engine. want set prompt div before div.

if($('#'+methods._getclassname(field.attr("id"))+'_msddholder').length ){ var prompt = $('<div>'); $('#'+methods._getclassname(field.attr("id"))+'_msddholder').before(prompt); prompt.addclass(methods._getclassname(field.attr("id")) + "formerror"); // add together class name identify parent form of prompt prompt.addclass("parentform"+methods._getclassname(field.closest('form, .validationenginecontainer').attr("id"))); prompt.addclass("formerror");

if won't work, if manually set this:

$('#'+methods._getclassname(field.attr("id"))+'_msddholder').before('<div>test</div>');

then works. why?

you apply class after before method. class won't apply on element. have tried :

var prompt = $('<div><h4>i test</h4></div>'); $('#'+methods._getclassname(field.attr("id"))+'_msddholder').before(prompt);

just see if have element insered ?
