DOM move a node

[Php_penguin]

Hi there, been searching google for about an hour but found nothing really usefull.

I want to move a node from its current position, wherever in the parent it may be, to the top of its parent node.

so say i have:
a very abbridged dictionary
- abacus
- banana
- candle

i might want to move "banana" to be above "abacus". I've seen plenty of things about deleting and removing nodes, but to clone and remove would seem a bit of a cludge. Is there anyone who acn help?

You can just move it by using insertBefore on an existing node and inserting it elsewhere.

window.promote=function(node){
	if(node.previousSibling){
		pa= node.parentNode;
		pa.insertBefore(node,pa.firstChild);
	}
	return node;
}
