在JQ中提供了两种将元素插入到其他元素前面的方法:.insertBefore()和.before()。这两种方法作用相同,只是连缀的方式不同(即 位置不同)

before(content) 在每个匹配的元素之前插入内容。

                  content:插入到每个目标前的内容。

                  $(A).before(B); ——把B插入到A前

                  insertBefore(expr):把所有匹配的元素插入到另一个、指定的元素集合前。(与before()

                                                用法相反) 

                  expr(String):用于匹配元素的JQ表达式

                 $(A).insertBefore(B); ——把A插入到B前面

insertAftet()和after():将元素插入到其他元素后面。(用法与以上两种方法基本相同)

以下是代码演示

$(document).ready(function(){
    $('<a href="#top">back to top</a>').insertAfter('div.chapter p');<==>$('div.chapter p').after('<a href="#top">back to top</a>');//等价的

prependTo():把所有匹配的元素前置到另一个、指定的元素元素集合中。(在这个例子中当点击back to top 时会跳到这个页面最开始的位置   相当于锚)
