Java Script Tips

Using .insertAdjacentHTML() preserves event listeners, and is supported by all major browsers. It's a simple one-line replacement for .innerHTML.

var html_to_insert = "<p>New paragraph</p>";

// with .innerHTML, destroys event listeners
document.getElementById('mydiv').innerHTML += html_to_insert;

// with .insertAdjacentHTML, preserves event listeners
document.getElementById('mydiv').insertAdjacentHTML('beforeend', html_to_insert);

The 'beforeend' argument specifies where in the element to insert the HTML content. Options are 'beforebegin', 'afterbegin', 'beforeend', and 'afterend'. Their corresponding locations are:

<!-- beforebegin -->
<div id="mydiv">
  <!-- afterbegin -->
  <p>Existing content in #mydiv</p>
  <!-- beforeend -->
</div>
<!-- afterend -->
