move element li into ul with jquery

Answer 1

If you are looking to get a structure like:

<ul class="sf-menu">
    <li>Student Center ...</li>
    <li>Faculty Courses ...</li> <!-- Inserted here -->
    <li>Research ...</li>
    <li>Contact Us</li>
    <li>A - Z</li>
</ul>

then, you can use:

$("#faculty").insertAfter(".sf-menu > li:first");​

It inserts the #faculty list item after the first <li> node inside #sf-menu.
