Great! Thanks... However, I'm more clueless than I should be...and didn't pose the complete question...
I have the divs as shown above, how do I locate where <div id="delta"></div> would go? Obviously between gamma and epsilon, but I need to search the ids for the first (id > "delta"). Then I can use your insert to properly place it. I assume I use a selector, but am not sure how to put it together.
