If there's only one of them that you want to insert, then either it
has an ID, and you use that:
var myDiv = $('element_to_insert_after_foo');
// where you are getting <div id="element_to_insert_after_foo"></div>
...or you use the slightly riskier class-based selector:
var myDiv = $$('.element_to_insert_after_foo').first();
// where you are getting the first <div
class="element_to_insert_after_foo"></div>
Double-dollar ALWAYS returns an array, sometimes an empty one (if your
selector didn't match anything), but usually populated with extended
DOM objects. You can't insert an array of objects into the page, only
one at a time. If you wanted to insert all of the matching objects in
a loop, then you could use:
var myDivs = $$('.element_to_insert_after_foo');
myDivs.each(function(elm){ $('foo').insert({after: elm}); });

Thanks,
its working fine with a id. But how can i get
"element_to_insert_after_foo" if this is a class element?
This is also not working:
var myDiv = $$('.element_to_insert_after_foo');
Element.insert($('foo'), {'after':myDiv} );

Hi,
You're using `$$` to get the element_to_insert_after_foo, which
returns an array (probably an empty one, since the selector is
unlikely to match anything). You want to use `$` instead.
HTH,

Hello all,
in need to insert a existing dom element behind the mother dom.
For Example:
<div id="foo">
<div class="element_to_insert_after_foo"></div>
</div>
After Insert:
<div id="foo"></div>
<div class="element_to_insert_after_foo"></div>
I tried as follow but nothing happens:
var myDiv = $$('element_to_insert_after_foo');
Element.insert($('foo'), {'after':myDiv} );
Thanks for help!
