Question

I have a parent div like this.

<div id='parent'>
   <div id='child_1'>........</div>
   <div id='child_2'>........</div>
   <div id='child_3'>........</div>
   <div id='child_4'>........</div>
</div>

I want to add one div like this:

<div id='page_number'> You are watching 5th object out of 100 </div>

Inside parent div I’m using append to do like that.

$("#parent").append("<div id='page_number'> You are watching 5th object out of 100 </div>");

But its comming after child_4 th div. But I need to display it just below of child_1.
It should come like this

<div id='parent'>
   <div id='page_number'> You are watching 5th object out of 100 </div>
   <div id='child_1'>........</div>
   <div id='child_2'>........</div>
   <div id='child_3'>........</div>
   <div id='child_4'>........</div>
</div>

How can I do like this.

Answer 1

make use of jquery function .prepend() : Insert content, specified by the parameter, to the beginning of each element in the set of matched elements

$('Selector ').prepend($('<div> new div </div>'));
