[jQuery] To Obstruse or not Obstruse - Elements of jQuery

[jQuery] To Obstruse or not Obstruse - Elements of jQuery


Folks,
This is originall a question to Erik Beeson (so I hope he is lurking
around) from a previous thread on "Creating DOM Elements on the fly" ,
but I chose to post it as new topic since it lead to and also touches
on some fews issues regarding the theory of jQuery.
First, Erik provided a neat plugin to clone a node - an .appendTo
overload function.
