Hi John, Indeed that works.
I found out what can be a bug in jQuery 1.3.2. When moving with .append() in Firefox 3.5.5, Opera (9 and 10) and Konqueror 4.3 (tested on both linux and Windows) I get a blank screen if there is a youtube video embedded inside somewhere. Took a while to dig this. On IE8 and Webkit there is no issue. If I use the DOM methods as described earlier, it works fine on Firefox, Opera and KHTML, so this is some issue that happens with jQuery. The embedded code is: --------------------------- 8< -------------------------------- <object codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,0,0";> <object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://www.youtube-nocookie.com/v/0iZjtav06cc&hl=pt_BR&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0x234900&color2=0x4e9e00&border=1"; allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" src="http://www.youtube-nocookie.com/v/0iZjtav06cc&hl=pt_BR&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0x234900&color2=0x4e9e00&border=1"; wmode="transparent" movie="http://www.youtube-nocookie.com/v/0iZjtav06cc&hl=pt_BR&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0x234900&color2=0x4e9e00&border=1"; height="300" width="502"> </object> </object> --------------------------- >8 -------------------------------- -rsd On Sat, Dec 12, 2009 at 6:09 PM, John Resig <jere...@gmail.com> wrote: > When appending element A to set B the element is moved over in the DOM > into the first element in B.
