Q.  How do I insert/inject html into a page with jQuery?

A.  Use before() or after() like this:

$('#my_id').before('<b>Hello</b>');
$('#my_id').after('<b>Hello</b>');

There are also insertBefore() and insertAfter() methods but
they work in a way I found counter-intuitive.

The wrap() method is useful in some cases.

If you want to replace the HTML in a tag use html() like this:

$('#my_id').html('<b>Hello</b>');
