So far we discussed having Element.create() and having new methods on Node that would be more practical than what we have today. Maybe we should combine these in some way? Charles proposed some kind of JSON serialization, but I do not think it makes sense to tie it to JSON. It could be something like this: ELEMENT = [NAME, optional ATTRS, optional EVENT_HANDLERS, TEXT | ELEMENT ...] E.g. <div>Hello <a href="/">World</a></div> is represented as: ["div", "Hello ", ["a", {href:"/"}, "World"]] Then the new methods we introduce could accept the above syntax to make it easier to append new elements to the DOM. ele.append(['div']) would append a <div> element. If you want to append several elements, you would use ele.append("Hello ", ["i", "World"]) I.e. append() takes "infinite" arguments. -- Anne van Kesteren http://annevankesteren.nl/
