Question

If I have these objects:

<div id='1'></div>
<div id='2'></div>
<div id='3'></div>
<div id='4'></div>
<div id='5'></div>

I have a textbox:

<input type="text">

Where I type in the value: 3.5 to dynamically make (I have the code for this, the next part I need help with):

<div id='3.5'></div>

How can I attach it in this order below, without first checking to see the value of every div on the page?

<div id='1'></div>
<div id='2'></div>
<div id='3'></div>
<div id='3.5'></div>
<div id='4'></div>
<div id='5'></div>

Using:

$('#What Goes Here If I Dont know the elements on the page?').after('<div id='3.5'>Hey</div>');

Any help is appreciated,

Taylor

IDs in the DOM should not start with a number (they would not be valid).
They should start with a character A-Za-z and then they can have numbers, - and _ following.

but if you want to go your route try this:

var div = $("<div id='3.5'></div>");
div_id_after = Math.floor(parseFloat(div.get(0).id));

$('#'+div_id_after).after(div);
