@drew: I think the replaceWith is a closer alternative:

As I remember that wasn’t around when I made this post.

The clone function might come in handy as an alternative

What’s wring with good old DOM manipulation?

jQuery.fn.outerHTML = function() {
return $(this)[0].outerHTML;
};

Thanks Paul. Definitely interesting to see how others are implementing this. Being able to do this.outerHTML = value is certainly much more elegant

Hey Ca Phun!

Just wanted to let you know I found another implementation of outerHTML some days ago, while working with the SVG suff, and it also defines the setter, seems pretty robust (I used it).

Look here: http://webfx.eae.net/dhtml/ieemu/htmlmodel.html
