DOM element move

[gsb]

I have created a div tag and appended it as a child to the document body.

Obj=document.cr eateElement('DI V');
Obj=document.bo dy.appendChild( Obj);

Is there a way to move the object w/o deleting it and creating a new one?

Maybe a remove and appendBefore or appendAfter?

No need to assign the return value of "appendChil d" to Obj. It returns
the appended node, which is already the value of Obj.

Any new insertion will move it. A DOM node can only occour once in a
document, so inserting it a new place will remove it from its previous
location.

No need to remove. Just insertBefore where you need it.
someToBeParentN ode.insertBefor e(Obj,someNewSi bling);

Re: DOM element move

Create a new DIV where you want to move the current object then
use 'oldDiv = Object.replaceC hild(newDiv, oldDiv)';

I hope this has been helpful.
