In the examples I gave the new element is "saved" to the variable
inputBox. So to add it to the DOM you will do something like what Erik
wrote, that is:
inputBox.appendTo('#myForm');
The above appends it (that is, adds it as the last element) to an
element with id="myForm".
There are other options such as "prependTo", "insertBefore" and
"insertAfter". More details on these here:
