Inserting an element

Question

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

Answer 1

Just get the next sibling of the current node and insert the new node before that node:

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

Like noted in the comments, insertBefore already inserts the new node at the end of the node list if there is no next sibling node.

Answer 2

There is no direct method to insert 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);
