Question

This function inserts a file upload field in a specific div

$(".add_file_field").click(function() {
    var qid = $(this).attr("rel");
    $(this).parent().before("<div id='p_holder'></div>");
    $("#p_holder").load("<?=site_url('survey/add_upload_field')?>", {
        'qid': qid 
    });
    return false;
});

It is triggered by clicking on the link in this snippet

<span class="add_field_wrap">
    <a rel="31" class="add_file_field" href="http://domain.com/kms/#">
        Add another file
    </a>
</span>

How can I get it to insert the content just before the span.add_field.wrap, ie. without specifying a specific container that will receive the content? The span and all other markup must stay in place; the point is that the user can add as many file upload fields as he wants.

Thanks

$(".add_file_field").click(function(){
    var qid = $(this).attr("rel");
    var parent = $(this).parent();

    $.get("<?=site_url('survey/add_upload_field')?>", {'qid': qid }, function(data) {
        $(parent).before(data);  
    });

    return false;
});
