DOM Add Nodes

This lesson is part of XML · All levels

Summary

The already created nodes are attached to the tree using the appendChild at the end of the child list, or insertBefore to place before a particular node. Modern APIs provide more compact appends and prepends. The correct placement determines the order in which the data appears on the document.

Key points

AppendChild adds the node as the last child
InsertBefore placing the node before a particular child
Append and prepend are modern DOM APIs that are concise
The node that already has the parent will be moved, not duplicated.
The addition order determines the display order
