how do i add an element after 'input' but before 'br'?

$("input").after("<p>Hello</p>");

After on jQuery doc: http://api.jquery.com/after/

You also have the insertAfter:

$("<p>Hello</p>").insertAfter("input");

Will work just fine.

Use insertBefore() or insertAfter().

You should really add an id attribute to your input not only for performance but to be sure that you append only after that specific input:

<div class="link">
       <input id="textBox" class="link" type="text" value="Skriv länk" />
       <br />
 </div>

if using jquery

$("#textBox").after("<p>Hello</p>");

else

var textBox = document.getElementById("textBox");
var element = document.createElement("<p>Hello</p>");
textBox.parentNode.insertBefore(element, textBox.nextSibling);

---

// create your element
var $el = $("<div>");

// append after input
$("input.link").after( $el );
