    <p>Making my first post here to get feedback on a particular solution to a problem that I dealt with yesterday. I came up with something that solves my problem and achieves the effect desired but I think that at best it's an inelegant solution and at worst an ugly hack.</p> <p>The problem: How can I re-order four div's on a page that are hard-coded in a specific order on the page. The goal: a method of quickly re-ordering these blocks based on client preference.</p> <p>The constraints: I can't touch the markup except to add a classes and ids or wrappers (I can't re-structure the html at all). This is for an existing, working, product that is already in use by several different clients.</p> <p>Here is the markup with content removed: </p> <pre><code>&lt;!-- content-panel 2 --&gt; &lt;div id="home-messages-box" class="content-panel"&gt; &lt;table cellspacing="0"&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td class="tableCaption"&gt; &lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;/table&gt; &lt;table class="tableContent" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td&gt; &lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;/table&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;!-- content-panel 3 --&gt; &lt;div id="home-programs-box" class="content-panel"&gt; &lt;table cellspacing="0"&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;/table&gt; &lt;table class="tableContent" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="3"&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td&gt; &lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;/table&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;!-- content-panel 4 --&gt; &lt;div id="home-actionitems-box" class="content-panel"&gt; &lt;table cellspacing="0"&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td class="tableCaption"&gt; &lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;/table&gt; &lt;table class="tableContent" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td&gt; &lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td&gt; &lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;/table&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;!-- content-panel-wrapper --&gt; </code></pre> <p>And here is the jQuery I'm using to re-order those Divs after the page loads: </p> <pre><code>$(function () { $("#home-actionitems-box").appendTo("#content-panel-wrapper"); $("#home-welcome-box").appendTo("#content-panel-wrapper"); $("#home-messages-box").appendTo("#content-panel-wrapper"); $("#home-programs-box").appendTo("#content-panel-wrapper"); }); </code></pre> <p>Is there an easier, more elegant way to do this? I accept that it is probably a hacky solution to an inflexible structure that is the result of no UI/UX design thinking at the beginning of the project (years ago). But I am interested in the opinion of other people who sometimes have to come up with inelegant solutions to problems like this.</p>

    1. COYou can also use prependTo to add to the beginning. I think what you have is a pretty good solution.

    2. COIs there any reason why you can't simply reposition those div's with per client css?

    3. COWhere do you get the order of the DIV's from, if they are chosen by the client? Cause otherwise a sort function defined by the order would in my opinion be better and more flexible.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
