Implement swapNode

[Erik Arvidsson]

Swapping the place of two nodes in a document is not that hard but it requires more code than one would expect. It would be nice if we could add this MS extension.

Here is a pure JS implementation:

Node.prototype.swapNode = function(that) {
  var nextSibling = this.nextSibling;
  if (nextSibling == that) {
    that.swapNode(this);
    return;
  }
  var thisParent = this.parentNode;
  that.parentNode.replaceChild(this, that);
  thisParent.insertBefore(that, nextSibling);
};

Here's a handy link to see if it will 
meet your needs.

That node swap is kooky man, 
can't somebody dump this ticket?

[Ahmad Saleem]

swapNode was IE only and it was changed with "replaceChild".

Even below test page - give "swapNode gave an error" across all browsers (Chrome Canary 106, Firefox Nightly 105 and Safari 15.6).

Only found this reference about it in Webkit Github:

I am going to mark this as "RESOLVED WONTFIX". If I am incorrect, please mark accordingly. Thanks!
