Can't get jQuery's .replaceWith() to work?

[ikram]

Basically I am trying to have jQuery replace the button with the form and status div once clicked. I am new to jQuery and hardly an advanced programmer so I am sure the solution will be relatively simple. On the other hand I am at my wits end with this issue and any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.EDIT: Solution found. Interestingly enough it also only worked when I put it in a separate .js file and referenced it, not when I had it within tags on the php page. Thanks again to everyone who responded!\[code\]$(document).ready(function() { $("#repbutton").click(function() { $("#repbutton").replaceWith("<form id=\"reputation_form\" method=\"post\"> Give positive reputation to <?=$reply_user['username']?> for their reply?
