Availability:

JScript - 3.0

Internet Explorer - 4.0

Property/method value type: undefined

JavaScript syntax: IE myElement.insertAdjacentHTML(aRelativePosition, someHTML)

Argument list: aRelativePosition An indication of where the new HTML is to be placed

someHTML The new fragment of HTML to be inserted

This is quite similar to an expression that assigns a new value to the innerHTML property of an Element object. In this case, the new HTML leaves the existing HTML intact.

The relative positions where the adjacent HTML can be introduced determine where the new HTML is to be inserted. The following relative positions can be specified:

Position:	Description:
`AfterBegin`	Immediately after the opening tag and before any other content
`AfterEnd`	Immediately after the closing tag and before any other content
`BeforeBegin`	Immediately before the opening tag
`BeforeEnd`	Immediately before the closing tag

Warnings:

You cannot call this method while the document is loading.
MSIE version 4 for Macintosh does not support this as widely as the Windows version or later versions of MSIE for Macintosh.
