I have the following code:
<html>
<head>
<script>
</script>
<style>
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id=div1 style="border:5px solid green" onClick="alert(this.id)">hi
<div id=div2 style="border:2px solid yellow">hello</div>
<div id=div3 style="border:2px solid red">world</div>
</div>
</body>
<button onClick="document.body.appendChild(document.getElementById('div1').cloneNode(true));">cloneNode</button>
</html>
I wanted to make the clone of the div1
to appear above the cloneNode
button and hence kept the button outside the <body>
. But each time I click on the cloneNode
button the new element appears below the cloneNode
button although I appended the new node to the <body>
element(using appendChild()
) and the button is outside the <body>
element. So, are all the elements even those outside the <body>
(as specified in the script) included or considered inside the <body>
at runtime. Please help me understand this.
