Element: after() method

{{APIRef("DOM")}}

The after() method of the {{domxref("Element")}}Element interface inserts a set of {{domxref("Node")}}Node objects or strings in the children list of the Element's parent, just after the Element. Strings are inserted as equivalent {{domxref("Text")}}Text nodes. Nothing happens if {{domxref("Node.parentNode", "parentNode")}}parentNode is null.

Syntax

after(param1)
after(param1, param2)
after(param1, param2, /* …, */ paramN)

Parameters

    • : A set of {{domxref("Node")}}Node objects or strings to insert.

    • : Thrown when the node cannot be inserted at the specified point in the hierarchy.
