DOM - Move element?

I am creating a web app and I want to be able to move an object to another spot.

Right now what I have done is copy the html of the old one, insert it to the end of the node I want, then delete the old one.

As a result, I lose events/observers that have been applied (i.e. for double clicking, dragging, etc.)

Edit: I also have boxes in the element I wanna copy, so if I just get the HTML I lose their values too. If there is some way to copy the whole object, with the "correct" values, applied events, etc.. that would be WONDERFUL!

I got the solution on another forum... using removeChild returns the object... so I can just use that and insert it elsewhere
