uncaught typeerror: failed to execute

#I could have sworn that I was using appendChild properly but, alas, I wasn’t.
#Instead of passing a node to appendChild, I was passing a string.

var link = '<a class="wplauncher-link"> Example Link </a>';
var body = document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0].appendChild(link);

#Instead, I should have created the link element first, added HTML to it, 
#and then run appendChild. This is illustrated in the code below, which WORKS:

var link = document.createElement('a');
link.className = 'wplauncher-link';
link.innerHTML = 'Example Link';
document.body.appendChild(link);

#If you need to add a string of HTML that is more complex than a link, 
#I suggest using the insertAdjacentHTML method. An example of this is visible 
#below:

var link = '<a class="wplauncher-link"> Example Link </a>';
document.body.insertAdjacentHTML('beforeend',link);

typeerror: failed to execute

.appendChild
The [.appendChild] function needs the first parameter as a Node.

Any one of the following interface is considered a Node:

Document
Element
Attr
CharacterData
ProcessingInstruction
DocumentFragment
DocumentType
Notation
Anything that is not one of the above is not considered a Node. Therefore, when you pass an object or a string (the response), the following error is raised:

TypeError: Failed to execute 'appendChild' on 'Node': parameter 1 is not of type 'Node'.

The response returned by ajax request is most likely an Object.

JSON.stringify will transform an Object into String.

Both are not one of the listed interface.
