Initially, when you use the plugin, the strength meter appears in the password input.

Now you can use it outside the input easily, just add the outsideElt option:

var options = {outsideElt = '#myelt'};
$('input#mypassword').attachPassMeter(options);

where #myelt could be the class of your element or the id.
