thanks for your reply.
html is something like:
<div class="mydivcontainer">
...
<div class="mydiv">
...
</div>
</div>
there are more elements where I placed the (...) dots, but I guess it
doesn't matter since parent('.mydivcontainer') should locate the
target element.
and yes, what I am trying to do is move .mydiv and its contents at the
beginning of .mydivcontainer (just after <div
class="mydivcontainer">).
I don't undestand why my 2nd example doesn't work.
that function should traverse each element with the .mydivclass and
clone it in .mydivcontainer, then remove the original element. or am I
wrong?
