I believe this is a requirement -- that I not use remove -- because
the elements I'm trying to move around all have form element observers
attached directly to their children, and I am pretty sure this will
mess me up. Please let me know if that's not true and I don't need to
worry.
Here's a thumbnail of what's in the page:
div.captions
form
div.caption
input.start
/div
div.caption
input.start
/div
...
/form
/div
And there's more than one such group on the page. What I need to do is
loop through the input.start elements in each div.captions group, and
re-sort their parent divs inside the form so they appear in their
start order. I want to fire this whenever a start time is updated, and
I already have a custom event listener where I can slot that in.
My initial pass at this would be to get my collection:
$$('div.captions form').each(function(elm){
var parent = elm;
var list = elm.select('div.caption');
list.sortBy( someMagicFunctionHere );
list.each(function(el){
parent.insert(el.remove());
});
});
But if I do that, won't I kill the form element observers that are
attached to my input.start elements?
Is there another way (maybe just a native DOM thing) to change the
order of elements without removing them from the page in the process?
Thanks,
Walter
