Is it possible to change DOM without using append() or appendTo()
<p>I am working on a script that utilizes jQuery UI's drag/drop functionality. When i drag an item from one area to another I would like to update the DOM by associating the element with the dropped area and not the original where it was created initially. I could use appendTo() but it creates a jump when I drop the item and i need it to remain in the position where it was dragged to. </p>

<p>Is there an alternative to update the DOM?</p>
