FLUID-572: Reorderer: calls to document.writeln() while moving an item can cause the page to break.

Description

This issue came up when the Reorderer was added to aTutor for reordering sections of the UI. The 'menu' section had script in it that did a 'document.writeln'. This code was executed at the same time as the item was being moved (using jQuery.after). The result was an empty page that didn't finish loading.

  There is a work around for this issue: using jQuery.append instead of document.writeln worked as expected.

  I'm uploading jquery-tabs.html which contains a small modification to the jquery reorderable tabs example from the Fluid samples that shows the issue.

  There is now a manual test that shows the problem clearly.

  To recreate the issue, try to drag 'Item 1'.

  I've opened a ticket in jQuery's Trac: http://dev.jquery.com/ticket/2887

  Update: In upgrading to jQuery 1.2.6 and UI 1.5.1, I checked this jQuery ticket: It is still open, and the bug still seems to be present.

  Apparently calls to document.writeln() is standard practice for almost everything Google has written.
