DOM - 节点对象方法 - insertBefore

方法 insertBefore 将新节点作为此节点的子节点插入，直接位于此节点的现有子节点之前。它返回要插入的节点。

语法

以下是使用 insertBefore 方法的语法。

nodeObject.insertBefore(Node newChild, Node refChild)

此方法返回要插入的节点。

示例

node.xml内容如下 −

<?xml version = "1.0"?>
<Company>
   <Employee category = "Technical">
      <FirstName>Tanmay</FirstName>
      <LastName>Patil</LastName>
      <ContactNo>1234567890</ContactNo>
      <Email>tanmaypatil@xyz.com</Email>
   </Employee>
   
   <Employee category = "Non-Technical">
      <FirstName>Taniya</FirstName>
      <LastName>Mishra</LastName>
      <ContactNo>1234667898</ContactNo>
      <Email>taniyamishra@xyz.com</Email>
   </Employee>
   
   <Employee category = "Management">
      <FirstName>Tanisha</FirstName>
      <LastName>Sharma</LastName>
      <ContactNo>1234562350</ContactNo>
      <Email>tanishasharma@xyz.com</Email>
   </Employee>
</Company>

以下示例演示了 insertBefore 方法的用法 −

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
   <head>
      <script>
         function loadXMLDoc(filename) {
            if (window.XMLHttpRequest) {
               xhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
            }
            else // code for IE5 and IE6 {
               xhttp = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
            }
            xhttp.open("GET",filename,false);
            xhttp.send();
            return xhttp.responseXML;
         }
      </script>
   </head>
   <body>
      <script>
         xmlDoc = loadXMLDoc("/dom/node.xml");

         create_e = xmlDoc.createElement("Email");

         f1 = xmlDoc.documentElement;
         f2 = xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("Email");

         document.write("No of Email elements before insert operation: " + f2.length);
         document.write(" <br>");
         f1.insertBefore(create_e,f2[3]);

         f2 = xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("Email");
         document.write("No of Email elements after insert operation: " + f2.length);
      </script>
   </body>
</html>

执行

将此文件另存为服务器路径上的nodemethod_insertbefore.html(此文件和node.xml应位于服务器中的同一路径)。我们将获得如下所示的输出 −

No of Email elements before insert operation: 3
No of Email elements after insert operation: 4
