hey folks, brand new here. been fiddling with jquery for a little bit now, but this one has me stumped.
the goal is to de-link the links on a navigation system depending on what you've clicked on. but i need a restore function which i'm trying to do with append the functions work fine without the append, but then i can't restore the links i've taken off. and after i do the append the html looks fine, but it doesn't seem to be part of the DOM anymore. since it won't respond to the functions anymore. i've tried so many things and got no where. i believe it to be NOT appending to the DOM but again i'm new to the more complex stuff. thanks in advance for any help. gary. [code DOM ready] // get all the html in the navigation div var hex = $("#navigation").clone().html(); // my trigger // all links with an anchor tag inside of navigation $('#navigation [EMAIL PROTECTED]"#"]').click(function() { // set a variable to what i clicked on var clickedMe = $(this); // restoring state of navigation div $('#navigation').empty().append(hex); // here i do all my style changes using the clickedMe variable // including replacing the link i clicked on with just text // omitted for clarity }); [/code]
