When I replaceWith an element to bring one out of the DOM, then replaceWith it back in, events registered to it do not fire. I need to events to remain intact.
Here's my Javascript:
var replacement = $(document.createElement('span'));
var original = $(this).replaceWith(replacement);
replacement
.css('background-color', 'green')
.text('replacement for ' + $(this).text())
.click(function() {
replacement.replaceWith(original);
});
In the demo, when you click an element, it is replaced with another element using replaceWith. When you click the new element, that is replaced with the original element using replaceWith. However, the click handler does not work any more (where I would think it should).
