Appending HTML string to the DOM

How to append a HTML string such as

var str = '<p>Just some <span>text</span> here</p>';

to the <div> with the id test?

(Btw div.innerHTML += str; is not acceptable.)

Solution

  • Use insertAdjacentHTML which is supported in all current browsers:

    div.insertAdjacentHTML( 'beforeend', str );

    The position parameter beforeend will add inside the element, after its last child.
