clone(true) disabling other links on page.

[Chippo]

Hi

I tried cloning an <li> element using the clone(true) to clone the element and its events. All works well but as soon as I run clone(true) the other links on the page (which are nothing to do with my app) stop working, and is as if each link has a return false attached to it. The function I was using is... moveNode: function(pageid,newparent){

var theli = $('#'+TreeView.containerid+'_'+pageid).parent(); var theul = $(theli).parent(); var newli = $(theli).clone(true); $(theli).remove(); if($(theul).find('li').length < 1){

var parentli = $(theul).parent(); $(theul).remove(); TreeView.addClasses(parentli);

} else {

$(theul).find('li').each(function(){TreeView.addClasses(this)});

} if(newparent > 0){

var newparentli = $('#'+TreeView.containerid+'_'+newparent).parent

();

if($(newparentli).find('ul:first').length > 0){

$(newparentli).find('ul:first').each(function(){$(this).append

(newli)});

} else {

var newul = document.createElement('ul'); $(newul).append(newli); $(newparentli).append(newul);

} TreeView.addClasses(newparentli); $(newparentli).find('li').each(function(){TreeView.addClasses

(this)});

} else {

$('#'+TreeView.containerid).append(newli); $('#'+TreeView.containerid+' li:first ~ li').each(function()

{TreeView.addClasses(this)});

} TreeView.addClasses(newli);

},

I have fixed this by not using clone and instead setting the events and style afterwards.

This would be best debugged on the forums. There are several subtle issues with this code because it is caching jQuery objects after a stacking operation has been performed. This can cause memory leaks in some cases.
