insertAdjacentHtml in jquery

Question

for some reason when using insertAdjacentHtml function in FF I am getting insertAdjacentHTMl is not a function error, is there an alternative to this in jQuery or some other alternative javascript function?

Answer 1

It depends on how you're using it.

.insertAdjacentHTML("beforeBegin", ...) //$('...').before(...)
.insertAdjacentHTML("afterBegin", ...) //$('...').prepend(...)
.insertAdjacentHTML("beforeEnd", ...) //$('...').append(...)
.insertAdjacentHTML("afterEnd", ...) //$('...').after(...)

http://api.jquery.com/after/

http://api.jquery.com/append/

http://api.jquery.com/prepend/

Code Example

$('<p class="border">PrependTo</p>').prependTo($('.main'));
    $('.main').prepend('<p class="border">Prepend</p>');

    $('<p class="border">AppendTo</p>').appendTo($('.main'));
$('.main').append('<p class="border">Append</p>');


$('<p class="border">Insert After</p>').insertAfter('.main');

$('<p class="border">Insert Before</p>').insertBefore('.main');

.border {
  border: 1px solid #000;
  margin: 10px;
  padding: 5px 15px;
}

<div class="main border">
  <p>Main</p>
</div>
