<div class="longdesc">
<p>The <code><a href="/before">.before()</a></code> and <code>.insertBefore()</code> methods perform the same task. The major difference is in the syntax-specifically, in the placement of the content and target. With<code> .before()</code>, the selector expression preceding the method is the container before which the content is inserted. With <code>.insertBefore()</code>, on the other hand, the content precedes the method, either as a selector expression or as markup created on the fly, and it is inserted before the target container.</p>
<p>Consider the following HTML:</p>
<pre>&lt;div class="container"&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Greetings&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;div class="inner"&gt;Hello&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="inner"&gt;Goodbye&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;</pre>
<p>We can create content and insert it before several elements at once:</p>
<pre>$('&lt;p&gt;Test&lt;/p&gt;').insertBefore('.inner');</pre>
<p>Each inner <code>&lt;div&gt;</code> element gets this new content:</p>
<pre>&lt;div class="container"&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Greetings&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Test&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class="inner"&gt;Hello&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Test&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class="inner"&gt;Goodbye&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;</pre>
<p>We can also select an element on the page and insert it before another:</p>
<pre>$('h2').insertBefore($('.container'));</pre>
<p>If an element selected this way is inserted elsewhere, it will be moved before the target (not cloned):</p>
<pre>&lt;h2&gt;Greetings&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;div class="container"&gt;
&lt;div class="inner"&gt;Hello&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="inner"&gt;Goodbye&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;</pre>
<p>If there is more than one target element, however, cloned copies of the inserted element will be created for each target after the first.</p>

<h3>Example:</h3>
<div id="entry-examples" class="entry-examples"><div id="example-0">
<h4><span class="desc">Inserts all paragraphs before an element with id of "foo". Same as $("#foo").before("p")</span></h4>
<pre><code class="example demo-code">&lt;!DOCTYPE html&gt;
&lt;html&gt;
&lt;head&gt;
&lt;style&gt;#foo { background:yellow; }&lt;/style&gt;
&lt;script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
&lt;/head&gt;
&lt;body&gt;
&lt;div id="foo"&gt;FOO!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;I would like to say: &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;script&gt;$("p").insertBefore("#foo"); // check before() examples&lt;/script&gt;
&lt;/body&gt;
&lt;/html&gt;</code></pre>
