var oFra = document.createDocumentFragment();
// oFra.[add elements];
document.createElement("div").id="myId";
oFra.getElementById("myId"); //not in FF
How can I get "myId" before attaching fragment to document?
What about:
var oFra = document.createDocumentFragment();
var myDiv = document.createElement("div");
myDiv.id="myId";
oFra.appendChild(myDiv);
oFra.getElementById("myId"); //not in FF
Unless you've added the the created div
to your document fragment I'm not sure why getElementById
would find it?
--edit
If you're willing to roll your own getElementById function then you ought to be able to get the reference you're after, because this code works:
var oFra = document.createDocumentFragment();
var myDiv = document.createElement("div");
myDiv.id = "myId";
oFra.appendChild(myDiv);
if (oFra.hasChildNodes()) {
var i=0;
var myEl;
var children = oFra.childNodes;
for (var i = 0; i < children.length; i++) {
if (children[i].id == "myId") {
myEl = children[i];
}
}
}
window.alert(myEl.id);
