please, enlight me. $(A).appendTo(B) will move $(A) to selector B, which in most cases has to be an ID or a unique identified element.
For this behaviour, what happens if B specifies multiple elements (e.g. class, element selector)? WIll it clone and copy $(A) ? If so, the original $(A) will still be in the same parent? appendTo() should accepts elements and jq objects too as it would be more clear (and avoid) the multi-element selector problem. Here is a behaviour that I would like to replicate in pure jQuery: 1 - Create an "anonymous" element: var divContent = document.createElement("div"); or var divContent = $("<div/>"); 2 - move (reparent) the children from '#old_parent' to the new element (divContent): A - Using jQuery + DOM: $("#old_parent").children().each( function() { divContent.appendChild(this); } ); B - Using jQuery (or how it would have being) (wont work): $("#old_parent").children().appendTo(divContent); Using a selector is not possible when dealing with anonymous elements. So, am I missing something? Can this be considered a bug? -rsd -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "jQuery Development" group.
