I want to append a paragraph element after specific div class element.
I want to add a p element inside second text div class. I tried a solution but it's not working.
My solution it's not working. How can I insert this p element in second text div class using jquery ?
$(".text:nth-child(2)").append("<p>Five</p>");<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.6.0/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div class="text">
<p>First</p>
</div>
<div class="text">
<p>Second</p>
</div>
<div class="text">
<p>Third</p>
</div>
<div class="text">
<p>Fourth</p>
</div>nth-of-type this seems to work better
$(".text:nth-of-type(2)").append("<p>Five</p>");.text { border: 1px solid black; }<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.6.0/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div class="text">
<p>First</p>
</div>
<div class="text">
<p>Second</p>
</div>
<div class="text">
<p>Third</p>
</div>
<div class="text">
<p>Fourth</p>
</div>You can use .eq(n)
$(".text").eq(1).append("<p>Five</p>");.text {
padding: 5px;
margin-bottom: 10px;
background: #f0f0f0;
}<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.6.0/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div class="text">
<p>First</p>
</div>
<div class="text">
<p>Second</p>
</div>
<div class="text">
<p>Third</p>
</div>
<div class="text">
<p>Fourth</p>
</div>Just in case you don't necessarily need jQuery, you can go with vanilla JS aswell.
var el = [...document.getElementsByClassName("text")][1];
var p = document.createElement("p");
var t = document.createTextNode("Five");
el.appendChild(p.appendChild(t));<div class="text">
<p>First</p>
</div>
<div class="text">
<p>Second</p>
</div>
<div class="text">
<p>Third</p>
</div>
<div class="text">
<p>Fourth</p>
</div>
</div>
