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: [email protected] Subject: 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.
