In this post, Â we are going to see jQuery before and insertBefore methods.
Live demo: Jquery before and insertBefore example on jsbin.com
Both do the same task, insert text or html before every selected elements but syntax is quite different.
Syntax for after():
|
1 2 3 4 5 |
$("selectors").before("element to be inserted") ; Example : $("div").before(" |
inserting using after
|
1 2 3 |
"); |
Syntax for insertBefore() :
|
1 2 3 4 5 |
$("element to be inserted") .insertBefore("div"); Example: $(" |
inserting using insertBefore
|
1 2 3 |
").insertBefore("div"); |
Let’s understand with the help of example:
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 |
