jQuery: What's the difference between after() and insertAfter()

Question

jQuery has an .after() method, and also an .insertAfter() method.

What\'s the difference between them? I think I can use .after()

Answer 1

They are inverses of each other. As explained in the jQuery documentation:

This:

$("p").insertAfter("#foo");

Is the same as this:

$("#foo").after("p");

And lastly, insertAfter returns all inserted elements, whereas .after() will return the context it is called on.
