Hi guys, while looking for a way to clone an element, I stumbled upon this thread from 2007:
http://groups.google.com/group/prototype-core/browse_thread/thread/9e943e4b54780d97 Any chance this is some when gonna end up in the core? I think this is function might be pretty useful sometimes. Apart from cloning an element I also needed to move an element from one div to another and I came up with this function which is basically a wrapper for the insert() function: Element.addMethods({ appendTo: function(element, newParent, position) { element = $(element); newParent = $(newParent); switch(position) { case 'top': newParent.insert({top: element}); break; case 'bottom': newParent.insert({bottom: element}); break; case 'before': newParent.insert({before: element}); break; case 'after': newParent.insert({after: element}); break; } return element; } }); I don't like the switch part very much and tried to use the position variable directly but that somehow didn't work...anyone knows why? Element.addMethods({ appendTo: function(element, newParent, position) { element = $(element); newParent = $(newParent); newParent.insert({position: element}); return element; } }); $('test').appendTo('test2', 'top'); Using this function Firebug shows this error: "insert is not a function". Anyway, maybe someone else finds this useful aswell :) David -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Prototype & script.aculo.us" group.
