Trying To Remove And Store And Object With Detach()

I am trying to remove an object and store it (in case a user wants to retrieve it later). I have tried storing the object in a variable like it says in the thread below: How to I u

Solution 1:

Looking at your code I don't think so you need detach for what you are trying to achieve.

Instead try this code.

    thisMMbtn.bind("click",
        function() {
            var thisRow = $(this).closest(".txtContentRow");
            var thisTxt = thisRow.find(".txtContent");
            var$mmCell = thisTxt.find('.mmCell');
            if($mmCell.length == 0){
                $mmCell = $('<div class = "mmCell prep"></div>')
                          .appendTo(thisTxt).hide();
            }
            $mmCell.toggle();
            //$(this).unbind("click");
        }
    );
