Now that I'm thinking about it, I wonder if somthing like this would work...
$("#child2").after("<div id=\"child2\">New Content</div>").end().remove();
My biggest concern is that for a few milliseconds, two entities with the
same id would exist (in this case I want to replace a <div> with a new <div>
with the same id but a different attributes and internal structure).
Another possibility is:
$("#child2").remove().after("<div id=\"child2\">New Content</div>");
Anyone tried anything similar?
Thanks again,
Galen

Hi all, Is there a way to replace an element in the DOM tree.
For example:
Starting with...
<div id="parent">
<div id="child1">Child 1</div>
<div id="child2">Child 2</div>
<div id="child3">Child 3</div>
</div>
Assuming a command like "replace( content )" existed...
$("#child2").replace("<span id="newSpan">Text</span>");
Would result in...
<div id="parent">
<div id="child1">Child 1</div>
<span id="newSpan">Text</span>
<div id="child3">Child 3</div>
</div>
The solution could be a series of commands, I don't care, but I'm under
the following restrictions.
1. I might not know the id of the parent
2. I need to keep the replaced elements in the same order as the
original elements.
Anyone have a solution that could get this to work?
Thanks in advance,
Galen
