jQuery .before and .after

[exsite_interactive]

hey everybody.

My problem is with the jquery .before and .after methods.

In my code i have a UL, but i need some HTML string to be placed before and after the <UL></UL>

Here is the resulting HTML i want:

We ensure:


Speedy e-mail confirmation of your order


Offsite inventory tracking


24×7 order placement facility


Online inventory management


Online reporting

so all the HTML you see before the<UL> i want to be inserted via JQ. and all the code after the </UL> would be inserted via JQ as well.

here is the JQ i have as of now:

$(".iContentMid ul").before("
");



$(".iContentMid ul").after("
");

But the result i am getting is this:

We ensure:


Speedy e-mail confirmation of your order


Offsite inventory tracking


24×7 order placement facility


Online inventory management


Online reporting

Why is this happening and how can i fix it?

Maybe try using an alternative method such as .append and .prepend

Try wrapping the UL within div.inlineListWrap
Then prepend and append the rest to div.inlineListWrap
