jquery replacewith function: cannot replace with

Question

When I click on #demo_3, it simply eliminates the button. However, if inside the replaceWith() I put a <p> O, hai! </p>, O, hai! will appear.

$(document).ready(function(){
  $("#demo_3").click(function(){
    $("#ind_3").replaceWith('<form action="newgoal.php" method="post"><input name="newgoal" type="text"></form>');

  });
});

Don't know why you are doing it this way but seems to work fine http://jsfiddle.net/t2uxZ/ — amit_g, Dec 05 '11 at 22:49

I am not exactly sure what your question is, but if you are suggesting that the code you've posted won't replace #ind_3 I would say are wrong and your issue is somewhere else. You can see it functioning here:

Just to clarify: My answer is that you CAN replace #ind_3 with the HTML you are trying and if it's not working for you then you have another issue.
