jQuery .before .after & Wordpress wp-login.php file

Hello All,

I am using the wordpress plugin Register Plus Redux to create a custom Wordpress Registration page. The plugin is designed to add custom registration fields; however, it does not provide a default option to wrap certain groupings of those custom fields (mainly p tags) in divs for styling purposes; I have written a brief jQuery function to accomplish this; however, when my jQuery executes, it correctly inserts the div where desired, but for some reason (perhaps wordpress) the opening div auto-complete the closing div tag and the "after" function never executes. Thoughts?

<script type="text/javascript">
     jQuery(document).ready(function($) { 
         $( '#student_name-2-p' ).before( "<div id='add_student_wrapper'>" );
     $('#activities-4-p').after( "</div>" );

});

</script>
