    DOM: Inserting text between <head> and <body>

    Hi.

    I'm trying to insert some text between <head> and <body> but I'm
    not able.

    I try with:
    --------
    bodyPoint = document.getEle mentsByTagName( 'body');

    var myLink = document.create Element("a");
    myLink.href = "http://www.yahoo.com";
    myLink.innerHTM L = "Yahoo";
    bodyPoint.inser tBefore(myLink, bodyPoint);
    ---------

    but it doesn't work. I get this error
    -----------
    bodyPoint.inser tBefore is not a function
    --------------

    What am I doing wrong? Thx.

      Good, because it makes no sense what so ever to place text between the
      HEAD element and the BODY element.

      A call to the getElementsByTa gName method returns an object implementing
      the NodeList interface.

      The NodeList interface does not implement an insertBefore method.

      Failing to RTFM, or failing to think about their content.

              not correct : you got the body tree (collection of all body tags)
              Hu ? there is only one ?
              Does browser know you use a collection instruction to catch one object ?

              bodyPoint = document.getEle mentsByTagName( 'body')[0];

              because ? bodyPoint is an array

              to which one of its elements the browser will address insertion ?
