Thanks. This is what I wanted to do. One further question about the "text"
command. I'm getting a JS error when I try to implement the following:
$(this).parents("div.sidebarToDo").find("td.sidebarText").empty().append("<input
type=\"text\" size=\"10\" class=\"editableTDItem\" value=\"" + $.text(item) +
"\">");
Your thoughts? Thanks, - Dave
