RobG: Thanks for the input. I'm a newbie to web development, so my knowledge of all of the JS functions available to me is smaller than it should be. But it's growing daily :)
Turns out my particular issue was that I wasn't updating the currentPage variable in iui. So the fromPage variable in the showPage function, was being set to the old <ul> element that had been removed from the page and no longer existed. I just had to update the currentPage variable to my new <ul> element in my replaceElementDirectly function.
