Question

I have a code like this (static):

<a href="#">link 1</a>
<a href="#">link 2</a>
<a href="#">link 3</a>

I would like to know if it is possible to read these <a> tags and randomize their order with JQuery, so that it will (for instance) show:

<a href="#">link 1</a>
<a href="#">link 3</a>
<a href="#">link 2</a>

Answer 1

var elems = $('a');
elems.sort(function() { return (Math.round(Math.random())-0.5); });  
for(var i=0; i < elems.length; i++) elems.parent().append(elems[i]);
