Question

How can I place an img element right after a select and have it fade out ?

What I’ve tried so far:

• appendTo is not suitable as it places elements inside the select element.
• after needs to be called from the select element so chaining a fade will act on the select and not the img.

Answer 1

Try .insertAfter()

Using this the chaining effect will be attached to the image element.

$(function() {
    $('<img class="pub-cover" src="http://i.imgur.com/vER9H.png" />')                  
        .insertAfter('select').fadeOut('slow')
});
