Charlie, I just plan on using an ID or class that's already in that div to reference it. For example: <div class="jcarousel-prev jcarousel-prev-horizontal jcarousel-prev- disabled jcarousel-prev-disabled-horizontal" style="display: block;" disabled="true"/>
why couldn't I do something like $(".jcarousel-prev jcarousel-prev- horizontal jcarousel-prev- disabled jcarousel-prev-disabled-horizontal").replaceWith('<div class="jcarousel-prev jcarousel-prev-horizontal" style="display: block;" disabled="false"/>'); On Jul 2, 9:04 am, Charlie <charlie...@gmail.com> wrote: > one problem you'll likely run into completely replacing that div > even though the html and classes will fit in with the carousel you could have > problems due to no events attached to new div from document ready > Giovanni Battista Lenoci wrote: > expresso ha scritto:I'm trying to figure out how I'd explicitely change out a > div. > Lets say this div is in the page.
