$(this).find(\'something\').css(\'red\')

You can use something like this to pass it through if you want to get an inputs value then change it and output the final value next to it:

var finalOutput;

function getDetails(args) {
    args = "Hello World";
    return args;
}

$('.box2').change(function(){
    var inputValue = $(this).val();
    finalOutput = getDetails(inputValue);

    $('.box2').after('' + finalOutput + '');
});

Here is a working example:
