Hi all! ^_^

I'm working on some xml stuff with python and I'm having a bit of trouble. I'm taking in an xml document and trying to add an xml element to the existing document in a paticuar place. The only method I'm aware python has to add nodes is the "appendChild" method. However, I'm looking for a method like javascripts "insertAfter" method which will append the node after the given node.

Any ideas? Thanks! ^_^

It seems to me that inserting a node directly after node 'x', is the same as inserting a node before the next sibling of 'x'.

node.insertBefore(x.nextSibling, new_node)

Thanks Arevos! Worked like a charm. Only problem is you had the parameters mixed up.

(Toggle Plain Text)

rootNode.insertBefore(new_node, node_to_insert_before)

Appreciate the help!

Hey, you helped me solve my problem. No complaints from me...constructive criticism perhaps...but no complaints.
