Simple jQuery code

[johnsmith153]

Why does this simple jQuery not work?

It should result in this:

<div class="main">
</div>
<div>1</div>
<div>2</div>
<div>3</div>

var stored_html = "";

$(".main > div").each(function() {

	$(this).insertAfter(stored_html);

});

$(stored_html).insertAfter($(this).parent())

what do you intend for it to do exactly? the last line does nothing because you havent assigned it to an element, so using $(this).parent() does nothing, as it has no parent to reference.

the first part, well all you are doing is inserting, literally, nothing, not event a blank space.

I want to convert the HTML in the example to:

<div class="main">
</div>
<div>1</div>
<div>2</div>
<div>3</div>

... using this:

$(".main > div").each(function() {

...to pass through each div.

It's a small part of a larger script. I just pulled this out so as not to complicate things.

how is this question different from this one?
