Dom appendChild, is there a insertChild?

foldface · Mar 3, 2004

Hi
Given

<body id="theBody">
 1
 2
 3
 4
 5
 6
</body>

var newText = parent.frames[1].document.createTextNode("some text");
var theBody= parent.frames[1].document.getElementById("theBody");
theBody.appendChild(newText);

This will insert an element after the last , can I insert one
after the body but before the first ?

Thanks

document.body.insertBefore(newText, document.body.firstChild)

document.body.insertBefore(newText, document.body.firstChild)

sorry, spotted the problem 10 minutes after posting but as I post via
google couldn't answer the post myself, its getElementsByTagName,
missed the 's' off. Did try insertBefore but it wouldn't work due to that
error!

Thanks anyway
