Answer 2

You can use prepend function in jQuery. For example,

$(item).prepend(newDiv);

Answer 3

You can use prepend() on the parent element to add a child first.

http://api.jquery.com/prepend/

I don't have time to test it, but i think that will work.

var newDiv= document.createElement('div');
    newDiv.innerHTML = "<input type='text'/>";
var item = document.getElementById('containerDivId');
    item.prepend(newDiv);

Answer 4

prepend() is what u need..

Insert content, specified by the parameter, to the beginning of each element in the set of matched elements.

 item.prepend(newDiv);

Answer 5

Since you've included jquery tag... You can use prepend() method.

Or you could use pure JS insertBefore:

item.insertBefore(newDiv, item.firstChild);

Answer 6

I think you find insertBefore.

parentElem.insertBefore(insertedElem, parentElem.firstChild);
