I have two divs for different sections of my webpage, a working and a reference section. One is fixed size, the other is variable sized and they are vertically stacked. I am trying to design it so that if you want to work on something in the reference pane, you click a link and it swaps all the data between the two panes. My idea was to do the following:

var working = $("#working_pane").html();
var ref = $("#reference_pane").html();

$("#working_pane").html(ref);
$("#reference_pane").html(working);

The problem with this, is it seems that any javascript referenced inside of these panes (for example, in place editors) get broken upon switching. No javascript errors occur, it's just that nothing happens, like the javascript ties are broken.

Is there any to move the html without breaking the javascript contained?
