If you have the ID (or anything else to identify it) of the 7th text box, you can use .after() anyway...

$("#textBox7").after(/* new element */);

See http://api.jquery.com/after/ for more information. The documentation of jQuery is really good written

Try eq()

$("input").eq(6).after("<p>Your dropdown</p>");

Try using .eq() to get the position 

$('input').eq(6).after('<p>Hello</p>');
