Wicket AJAX does not respond after dom changed by JavaScript

Wicket AjaxSubmitLink onSubmit is not called after applying appendJavascript which changes the DOM of a page. Sample code is:

add(new ListView("list", someArrayList){
            @Override
            protected void populateItem(final ListItem item) {
                add(new AjaxSubmitLink("link") {
                     @Override
                     public void onClick(AjaxRequestTarget target) {
                         target.appendJavascript("swap('"+this.getMarkupId()+"')");
                     });
})

The JavaScript looks like:

function swap(markupId){
    var one = $('.dashed').first().parent();
    var two = $('#'+markupId).parent();
    var tone = one.clone();
    var ttwo = two.clone();
    one.replaceWith(ttwo);
    two.replaceWith(tone);
}

Any suggestions?

It might be the clone() method causing the problem. According the documentation it does not clone event handlers. Try clone(true);

You could also handle the swap server side and then rerender the list after the swap. That would be the Wicket way to do it.
