$("ul").each(function() {
var ulla = jQuery(this).html();
//ulla is a 'private' variable here, it's only available inside this
function. that's why it's undefined.
});
This should work:
jQuery(function($){
var items = $('#la ul').remove().find('li');
$("#la dl").empty().append( items );
});
By the way, I'm pretty sure having an unordered list directly inside a
<dl> is invalid mark-up.
