Answer 1

You can use setAttribute method to set ‘value’ attribute of an attribute.

let take an example:

<div id="employees">
<div id="george">George Doe: Human resources department</div>
</div>

To insert a new DIV directly above “george”, so the outcome becomes:

<div id="employees">
<div id='kevin">Kevin Lin: Main system administrator</div>
<div id="george">George Doe: Human resources department</div>
</div>

You would do the following:

<script type="text/javascript">

var newemployee=document.createElement("div")
var oldemployee=document.getElementById("george")
newemployee.setAttribute("id", "kevin")
newemployee.innerHTML="Kevin Lin: Main system administrator"
document.getElementById("employees").insertBefore(newemployee, oldemployee)

</script>
