Have not verified. Compared to before()/after()/prepend()/append() they kinda suck. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms536451(v=vs.85).aspx http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms536453%28v=vs.85%29.aspx http://domparsing.spec.whatwg.org/#dom-element-insertadjacenthtml 78309 1 annevk 2012-11-14 14:26:51 +0000 Support: Opera/Chrome/Safari and presumably Internet Explorer. Opera/Chrome/Safari expose them on Element, not Document or Text, and probably none of the other node types either (did not test). 78310 2 zcorpan 2012-11-14 15:11:43 +0000 $ grep -aPc "\.insertAdjacentElement\s*\(" web200904 85 $ grep -aPc "\.insertAdjacentText\s*\(" web200904 4 $ grep -aPc "\.insertAdjacent(Text|Element)\s*\(" stevef-all 0 78311 3 zcorpan 2012-11-14 15:20:08 +0000 Those data sets are http://dotnetdotcom.org/ and http://www.paciellogroup.com/blog/2012/04/html5-accessibility-chops-data-for-the-masses/ respectively.

Given that we're stuck with insertAdjacentHTML and insertAdjacentElement, I don't see the benefit of removing just insertAdjacentText. 100508 7 annevk 2014-02-13 11:52:16 +0000 Given https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=199191#c15 maybe it's reasonable to add this cruft after all. It's kind of sad given before() / after(). 116596 8 philipj 2014-12-19 23:43:35 +0000 Is DOM still the right spec for this, given https://dvcs.w3.org/hg/innerhtml/raw-file/tip/index.html#insertadjacenthtml() ? 116606 9 annevk 2014-12-20 10:02:49 +0000 Yeah, these methods don't involve any parsing. Same situation as with isSameNode() though. 116619 10 philipj 2014-12-21 01:02:10 +0000 Could the common bits between insertAdjacentHTML(), insertAdjacentElement() and insertAdjacentText() be pulled into DOM then? In Blink there's a common insertAdjacent() internally which take a Node, and the Web-exposed functions do very little on top of that. 116626 11 annevk 2014-12-21 18:44:49 +0000 That only makes sense if we decide to standardize these two methods. 117350 12 philipj 2015-01-20 13:05:24 +0000 I say let's standardize insertAdjacentText and insertAdjacentElement. They don't add any real complexity on top of insertAdjacentHTML and at least insertAdjacentElement is used enough that removal wouldn't be painless. 125469 13 bugs 2016-03-14 13:39:31 +0000 I think we could add those to the spec. 125473 14 annevk 2016-03-14 14:48:45 +0000 https://github.com/whatwg/dom/commit/8fa7ac749d1b612504184aad2c20808a1785b370 Thanks all. 125516 15 philipj 2016-03-16 06:20:12 +0000 Tests requested in https://github.com/w3c/web-platform-tests/issues/2672
