Insert item

Question

Is there a way in Javascript to insert an element after the current node. I know that there is a method that inserts an element before the current XML node. But is there an Ins method. after current node?

Answer 1

Just select the next brother of the current node and insert a new node before this node using insertBefore

currentNode.parentNode.insertBefore(newNode, currentNode.nextSibling);

If nextSibling- null, insertBeforeinserts a new node at the end of the node list.

Answer 2

There is no direct method for inserting a node after a specific node, but there is a workaround:

var parent = currentNode.parentNode;
if(currentNode.nextSibling != null)
    parent.insertBefore(newNode,currentNode.nextSibling)
else
    parent.appendChild(newNode);
