Some help with basic jQuery

 I want to move the #top_info and #top_menu bits into separate divs, called #links_info and #links_menu. What commands would I use to do this in jquery? And also, what does innerhtml.match do (an example would be best).

EDIT: It seems this belongs in coding support. If so, then could a staff member please move it there?

Thanks a bunch,
//ZT\\

 For the first one, try this:

Code:
 

<script type="text/javascript">
$("#top_info").appendTo("#links_info");
$("#top_menu").appendTo("#links_menu");
</script>

 sorry for the double, better than making a new topic :P

but is it possible to use the .parent function and similar to select a DIV and then give it a class or id so it can be styled in CSS?

EDIT: thanks for moving it :P

 You mean like...

Code
 
$("DIV").addClass("CLASS");

 so say I have $("#example").previous(); and that selects something like <div>Text</div> with no class or ID in it. What I want to do is add an ID of newone so that I can go in the CSS and put #newone:first-child and edit stuff inside of it

better yet, is there a way to select the first child element of #newone in the same command?

 I thought you were asking for a class...Well you can add any attribute like this:
Code
 
$('#ID OR WHATEVER YOU WANT').attr('id', 'IDNAME');


That what you want? Or you could put whatever you need in front, and just add this at the end:
code
 
.attr('id', 'IDNAME');

C'est un piège!

 I would suggest googling a good tutorial on the DOM (document object model) and then going from there. Also, jQuery's site has some wonderful documentation so I'd also read up on that there.

The DOM is one of the more important parts of javascript as far as most things go, so even if you aren't really interested in learning classic javascript as opposed to jQuery, I'd still try to do that.

Be aware that jQuery simplifies many DOM functions, however, and classic js, character for character, is almost always longer than jQuery. That's just part of life.
