The MutationRecord
read-only property nextSibling
is the next sibling of an added or removed child node of the target
of a MutationObserver
.
The MutationRecord
read-only property nextSibling
is the next sibling of an added or removed child node of the target
of a MutationObserver
.
If a node is added to or removed from the target
of a MutationObserver
, the value is the Node
that is the next sibling of the added or removed node: that is, the node immediately following this one in the parent's childNodes
list.
The value is null
if there are no added or removed nodes, or if the node is the last child of its parent.
This adds a node every time you click the button, but it adds the node at the start of the target, not the end. Then the observer logs the textContent
of the nextSibling
of the added node.
html
<button id="add-nodes">Add a node</button> <button id="reset">Reset</button> <pre id="log" class="log">Next sibling of added node:</pre> <div id="target"><p>Node #0</p></div>
