How to move an element into another element in JavaScript?

Question

To move an element from one parent to another in JavaScript, you can use the combination of
appendChild() and removeChild() methods. Here's an example:
andlt;!DOCTYPE html>
andlt;html lang="en">
andlt;head>
  andlt;meta charset="UTF-8">
  andlt;meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
  andlt;title>Move Element in JavaScriptandlt;/title>
  andlt;style>
    .container1, .container2 {
      border: 1px solid #ccc;
      padding: 10px;
      margin-bottom: 10px;
    }
  andlt;/style>
andlt;/head>
andlt;body>
  andlt;div class="container1">
    andlt;p>This is the element to move.andlt;/p>
  andlt;/div>
  andlt;div class="container2">
    andlt;!-- Target container for the moved element -->
  andlt;/div>
  andlt;script>
    // Move the element from container1 to container2
    var elementToMove = document.querySelector('.container1 p');
    var targetContainer = document.querySelector('.container2');
    targetContainer.appendChild(elementToMove);
  andlt;/script>
andlt;/body>
andlt;/html>
In this example:
The andlt;p> element inside the first container (.container1) is selected using
document.querySelector().
The target container (.container2) is also selected.
The appendChild() method is used to append the selected element to the target container. This automatically removes the element from its current parent.
As a result, the paragraph element will be moved from .container1 to
.container2. Adjust the selectors based on your HTML structure and the elements you want to move.
Keep in mind that this is a basic example, and in a real-world scenario, you might want to perform additional checks or modifications depending on your specific requirements.
