Hi,
I just noticed that there isn't an insertAfter( ) method in the Node
interface specified in DOM level 2. How come?
Anyway, in getting around this I had a question about getNextSibling( ), am I
correct in assuming that it gets the next node in document order that is a
child of the current node's parent?
Second question, if my assumption about getNextSibling( ) is correct is there
anything wrong with
node parent = target.getParentNode( );
Node refChild = target.getNextSibling( );
if(refChild != null)
parent.insertBefore(newNode, refChild);
else
parent.appendChild(newNode);
as a way to simulate parent.insertAfter(newNode, target ) semantics?
PS: It is interesting that I've used the DOM a few times over the past few
years and never had need for any of the above methods. Weird.
