I want to change the position of #superWidget in the DOM. I want to remove it from #wrapperB and place it in #wrapperA.
<div id="wrapperA">
<div id="superWidget"></div>
</div>
<div id="wrapperB"></div>
I have tried the following...
var copy = $("#superWidget").clone(true, true);
$("#superWidget").remove();
$("#wrapperA").append(copy);
...however this breaks a lot of the plugins used by my page.
I do not want to have to rebind everything. Is there a better way to do this? (I notice that jquery UI sortable is somehow able to move elements around in the DOM without breaking any interactivity... there must be a way.)
Thanks (in advance) for your help

Rather than duplicating, just do this:
document.getElementById('wrapperA').appendChild(document.getElementById('superWidget'));
