[jQuery] What is the best way to replace an element using JQuery?
Despite having used JQuery for some time and also written plugins, I've never discovered a good way to replace one element with another. Just need something like: $(#myElement).replaceWith(divnew element/div) Depending on the circumstances I usually find I have to resort to DOM methods or if myElement has no siblings then I can use .parent().html(...). Any thoughts? Am I missing something?!

Re: [jQuery] What is the best way to replace an element using JQuery?
You might try: $(#myElement).remove().after(divnew element\/div); It would be nice to have a replaceWith method and a wrapInner method in the core as I've found I need to be able to do this on a regular basis.

You should be able to do something like this.
$('#myElement').before('replacement').remove();

Re: [jQuery] What is the best way to replace an element using JQuery?
This is mostly a guess, but
$('#element').after('divnew stuff/div').remove();

Re: [jQuery] What is the best way to replace an element using JQuery?
Thanks for all your replies. Looks like everyone settled on a similar solution using before() or after() in combination with remove(). Yep, a replace() function would be nice. Shane - Just in case you don't already know about it, wrapInner() is available as a plugin at http://motherrussia.polyester.se/jquery/wrapinner/ - Perhaps you are already using it. I agree, these two would be good in the core.

Re: [jQuery] What is the best way to replace an element using JQuery?
Personally i don't think so. Once you get the jquery logic, it's very easy to figure out how to do the replace() (see how many people answered correctly :) ) One of the strength of jquery is its low file size. Only use the extreme necessary for jquery, and plugins for custom flavours... -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of George Adamson Sent: mercredi 31 janvier 2007 18:14 To: discuss@jquery.com Subject: Re: [jQuery] What is the best way to replace an element using JQuery?

Yep, a replace() function would be nice.
Here you go, world's smallest plugin:
$.fn.replace = function(o) { return this.after(o).remove(); };
