Hi,
The fragment you've quoted shouldn't be replacing the content of the
link. It's getting the link element
$(link)
then going to its parent element
.up()
then inserting content *after* the parent element
.insert({after: ...})
The link should remain intact, nothing should be replaced, just
something new added immediately after the link's parent element.
If you want to insert something inside the link element, do this:
$(link).insert({ ... });
For instance, to add something at the end of the link (but inside it):
$(link).insert({bottom: "stuff here"});
If you've inherited a Prototype-based project, it may be worth
spending just an hour or so reading through the API docs (literally
takes about that long, it's not massive undertaking):
The new API docs:
http://api.prototypejs.org
The old API docs (which sadly still have some content that isn't in
the new ones, but people are busily transferring content over):
http://prototypejs.org/api
HTH,
