jQuery : Append text after an input field

Question

I have a simple input field :

<input type="text" id="someid" name="somename" class="someclass">

I'm trying to append some link right after this; so i'll get :

<input type="text" id="someid" name="somename" class="someclass"> - <a href="#">..</a>

i tried :

$("input#someid.someclass").append(' - <a href="#">Are you sure  ?</a>');

Without success, must be stupid but i can't find out what's wrong.

Answer 1

Use after instead of append

$("input#someid.someclass").after(' - <a href="#">Are you sure  ?</a>');
