var oIT = document.getElementById("IT");
var oPAR = oIT.parentNode;
oPAR.insertBefore(oITnew,oIT);
</script>
</body>

well, this doesnt seem to work for me, as i apparently cant insert it as the element before doesnt have an id (i can return the element by name)
this is my (a bit) modified code:
function newbx(){
var otex = new Array();
var otex = document.getElementsByName("existingelement");
var oITnew = document.createElement("input");
oITnew.setAttribute("value","added");
var oPAR = oIT.parentNode;
oPAR.insertBefore(oITnew, otex[0]);
}i cant seem to find where i am wrong :S
(thanks for your reply anyways)
Got it to work, i found the id so i can put it before the element
so, it works now
Thanks for help!
i found the id so i can put it before the element
To put it after, use oPAR.insertBefore(oITnew,""); (assuming that oPAR is defined as before).
Thanks Its helped me too..
To put it after, use
oPAR.insertBefore(oITnew,"");(assuming that oPAR is defined as before).
Two problems:
1. "after" is a careless choice of word. The element will be inserted at the end of the sibling list (which in this example means that it will be after the existing element).
2. "" as a second argument is not supported in all browsers; use oPAR.insertBefore(oITnew,null); instead.
