By now I just changed the name of the function to 'rbClick'. It's ugly, but it shouldn't be problematic, should it? On Dec 6, 10:39 pm, "T.J. Crowder" wrote: > > some form controls (radio, checkbox, maybe others...) have a native > > click() method that toggles them, so that would be in conflict.

That's because I called innerHTML on it at the end, and that returns a string. If you then want to create a new element out of that, you could try inserting it into your page somewhere with $('someElementOnYourPage').insert({after: foo}); Of you could just leave the innerHTML part off the en
