# --description--

Now let's try moving elements from one `div` to another.

jQuery has a function called `appendTo()` that allows you to select HTML elements and append them to another element.

For example, if we wanted to move `target4` from our right well to our left well, we would use:

```js
$("#target4").appendTo("#left-well");
```

Move your `target2` element from your `left-well` to your `right-well`.

# --hints--

Your `target2` element should not be inside your `left-well`.

```js
assert($('#left-well').children('#target2').length === 0);
```

Your `target2` element should be inside your `right-well`.

```js
assert($('#right-well').children('#target2').length > 0);
```

You should only use jQuery to move these elements.

```js
assert(!code.match(/class.*animated/g));
```

```html
<script>
  $(document).ready(function() {
    $("#target1").css("color", "red");
    $("#target1").prop("disabled", true);
    $("#target4").remove();

  });
</script>
