virtual void DOMRange::insertNode ( DOMNode * newNode )

pure virtual

Inserts a node into the DOMDocument or DOMDocumentFragment at the start of the Range.

If the container is a DOMText node, this will be split at the start of the Range (as if the DOMText node's splitText method was performed at the insertion point) and the insertion will occur between the two resulting DOMText nodes. Adjacent DOMText nodes will not be automatically merged. If the node to be inserted is a DOMDocumentFragment node, the children will be inserted rather than the DOMDocumentFragment node itself.

newNode The node to insert at the start of the Range

Exceptions
