Question

I created a checkbox which I want to insert before a cloned phrase and list.

$("p:contains('text'), ul:last",e).clone().prepend(myCheckbox);

My checkbox is now inserted before each phrase and each list.
I just want to insert the checkbox before the phrase.
Is that possible?

Thank you.

Edit:
HTMl-Structure to clone:

<p>Text</p>
<ul>
  <li>Listpoint</li>
  <li>Listpoint</li>
  <li>Listpoint</li>
</ul>

This is what it shoudl look like:
<input type='checkbox'>
<p>Text</p>
<ul>
<li>Listpoint</li>
<li>Listpoint</li>
<li>Listpoint</li>
</ul>


But it looks like:
<input type='checkbox'>
<p>Text</p>
<input type='checkbox'>
<ul>
<li>Listpoint</li>
<li>Listpoint</li>
<li>Listpoint</li>
</ul>

You could use .filter() to trim the results:

$("p:contains('text'), ul:last", e).clone().filter('p').prepend(myCheckbox);
