Question

I have a simple jQuery question.

How come I can’t do this?

$("<div class='flora'></div>").insertBefore('</body>');

I just want to add a new div at the end of the HTML page. So I thought I’d use the .insertBefore method, but jQuery seems to not like to target the </body> tag.

thoughts?

Thanks!

Try something like

$('body').append("<div class='flora'></div>");

And if you really want to append before something… you can use the before() method.

$('something').before("<div class='flora'></div>");
