Not sure what you're asking.  Are you trying to do an update (replace the
contents of the element) or an insert?  Insert takes a hash:

$("layoutMessages").insert({before: "asdf"});
$("layoutMessages").insert({after: "asdf"});
$("layoutMessages").insert({top: "asdf"});
$("layoutMessages").insert({bottom: "asdf"});
