Rails spinoffs - Mar 2008 - Inserting replaced element causes text to disappear in IE6

I posted this to the bug tracker, but nothing has happened so far, so
allow me to post it here.

It seems that replacing an element in the document, then inserting the
replaced element again, causes the inserted element to lose its
content in IE6. (FF2 works). I am running prototype 1.6.0.2

An example:

<button id="testButton">Test button</button>

<script class="text/javascript">
Event.observe(window, ''load'', function(){
  var replacedButton = $(''testButton'').replace(''<p
id="testPara">Test</
p>'');
  $(''testPara'').insert(replacedButton);
});
</script>


A live example can be seen here.

Have I overlooked something, or is this as a bug?

many thanks

Admittedly, I''m only learning Prototype.

But, aren''t you missing a parameter?

After looking at your code, I''m having a hard time figuring out what
the goal of this is?

You have a button element and you are replacing it with a paragraph
and then your are inserting the same node into the new paragraph
element?

If you can explain what you''re trying to do, we can probably find an
easier way to accomplish this.

This was a simplified example to show what happens when you remove
something and insert it again. The only reason I inserted it in the
paragraph was so that I didn''t have to add any extra code to the
example.

As for Jon L.''s comment: Replace, when applied directly to an object,
can be called with zero parameters (in which case nothing is inserted
instead of the replaced object), or one parameter (which is then
inserted).
