DOM: Inserting text between <head> and <body>

francescomoi

Hi.

I'm trying to insert some text between <head> and <body> but I'm
not able.

I try with:
--------
bodyPoint = document.getElementsByTagName('body');

var myLink = document.createElement("a");
myLink.href = "http://www.yahoo.com";
myLink.innerHTML = "Yahoo";
bodyPoint.insertBefore(myLink, bodyPoint);
---------

but it doesn't work. I get this error
-----------
bodyPoint.insertBefore is not a function
--------------

What am I doing wrong? Thx.

Good, because it makes no sense what so ever to place text between the
HEAD element and the BODY element.
I try with:
--------
bodyPoint = document.getElementsByTagName('body');
A call to the getElementsByTagName method returns an object implementing
the NodeList interface.
var myLink = document.createElement("a");
myLink.href = "http://www.yahoo.com";
myLink.innerHTML = "Yahoo";
bodyPoint.insertBefore(myLink, bodyPoint);
---------

but it doesn't work. I get this error
-----------
bodyPoint.insertBefore is not a function
The NodeList interface does not implement an insertBefore method.

window.onload=function(){
htm = document.getElementsByTagName('html')
myLink = document.createElement("a");
myLink.href = "http://www.yahoo.com";
txt = document.createTextNode('Yahoo')
myLink.appendChild(txt)
htm[0].insertBefore(myLink,document.body);
alert(htm[0].innerHTML)
}

not correct : you got the body tree (collection of all body tags)
Hu ? there is only one ?
Does browser know you use a collection instruction to catch one object ?

bodyPoint = document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0];
var myLink = document.createElement("a");
myLink.href = "http://www.yahoo.com";
myLink.innerHTML = "Yahoo";
bodyPoint.insertBefore(myLink, bodyPoint);

because ? bodyPoint is an array

to which one of its elements the browser will address insertion ?
