I have some script in document HEAD section like this.
<html>
<head>
<title>Javascript Tests</title>
<script type="text/javascript">
var mySpan = document.createElement("span");
mySpan.innerHTML = "This is my span!";
mySpan.style.color = "red";
document.body.appendChild(mySpan);
</script>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
In this script i want to add element to body, but it fails with document.body is null exception. I understand that body doesn't exist at this time. But i still need do this operation, because a can't insert this script to body, it restricted by API, i haven't access to all site code.
And important one: i need do this before window will be loading (i mean window.load event).
Can I do this?
If you don't want to use Jquery you can use DOMContentLoaded see reference here
The DOMContentLoaded event is fired when the document has been completely loaded and parsed, without waiting for stylesheets, images, and subframes to finish loading
document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", function(event) {
var mySpan = document.createElement("span");
mySpan.innerHTML = "This is my span!";
mySpan.style.color = "red";
document.body.appendChild(mySpan);
});
