9 * <p>The DomHelper class provides a layer of abstraction from DOM and transparently supports creating
10 * elements via DOM or using HTML fragments. It also has the ability to create HTML fragment templates
11 * from your DOM building code.</p>
13 * <p><b><u>DomHelper element specification object</u></b></p>
14 * <p>A specification object is used when creating elements. Attributes of this object
15 * are assumed to be element attributes, except for 4 special attributes:
16 * <div class="mdetail-params"><ul>
17 * <li><b><tt>tag</tt></b> : <div class="sub-desc">The tag name of the element</div></li>
18 * <li><b><tt>children</tt></b> : or <tt>cn</tt><div class="sub-desc">An array of the
19 * same kind of element definition objects to be created and appended. These can be nested
20 * as deep as you want.</div></li>
21 * <li><b><tt>cls</tt></b> : <div class="sub-desc">The class attribute of the element.
22 * This will end up being either the "class" attribute on a HTML fragment or className
23 * for a DOM node, depending on whether DomHelper is using fragments or DOM.</div></li>
24 * <li><b><tt>html</tt></b> : <div class="sub-desc">The innerHTML for the element</div></li>
27 * <p><b><u>Insertion methods</u></b></p>
28 * <p>Commonly used insertion methods:
29 * <div class="mdetail-params"><ul>
30 * <li><b><tt>{@link #append}</tt></b> : <div class="sub-desc"></div></li>
31 * <li><b><tt>{@link #insertBefore}</tt></b> : <div class="sub-desc"></div></li>
32 * <li><b><tt>{@link #insertAfter}</tt></b> : <div class="sub-desc"></div></li>
33 * <li><b><tt>{@link #overwrite}</tt></b> : <div class="sub-desc"></div></li>
34 * <li><b><tt>{@link #createTemplate}</tt></b> : <div class="sub-desc"></div></li>
35 * <li><b><tt>{@link #insertHtml}</tt></b> : <div class="sub-desc"></div></li>
38 * <p><b><u>Example</u></b></p>
39 * <p>This is an example, where an unordered list with 3 children items is appended to an existing
40 * element with id <tt>'my-div'</tt>:<br>
42 var dh = Ext.DomHelper; // create shorthand alias
43 // specification object
48 // append children after creating
49 children: [ // may also specify 'cn' instead of 'children'
50 {tag: 'li', id: 'item0', html: 'List Item 0'},
51 {tag: 'li', id: 'item1', html: 'List Item 1'},
52 {tag: 'li', id: 'item2', html: 'List Item 2'}
56 'my-div', // the context element 'my-div' can either be the id or the actual node
57 spec // the specification object
60 * <p>Element creation specification parameters in this class may also be passed as an Array of
61 * specification objects. This can be used to insert multiple sibling nodes into an existing
62 * container very efficiently. For example, to add more list items to the example above:<pre><code>
64 {tag: 'li', id: 'item3', html: 'List Item 3'},
65 {tag: 'li', id: 'item4', html: 'List Item 4'}
69 * <p><b><u>Templating</u></b></p>
70 * <p>The real power is in the built-in templating. Instead of creating or appending any elements,
71 * <tt>{@link #createTemplate}</tt> returns a Template object which can be used over and over to
72 * insert new elements. Revisiting the example above, we could utilize templating this time:
75 var list = dh.append('my-div', {tag: 'ul', cls: 'my-list'});
77 var tpl = dh.createTemplate({tag: 'li', id: 'item{0}', html: 'List Item {0}'});
79 for(var i = 0; i < 5, i++){
80 tpl.append(list, [i]); // use template to append to the actual node
83 * <p>An example using a template:<pre><code>
84 var html = '<a id="{0}" href="{1}" class="nav">{2}</a>';
86 var tpl = new Ext.DomHelper.createTemplate(html);
87 tpl.append('blog-roll', ['link1', 'http://www.jackslocum.com/', "Jack's Site"]);
88 tpl.append('blog-roll', ['link2', 'http://www.dustindiaz.com/', "Dustin's Site"]);
91 * <p>The same example using named parameters:<pre><code>
92 var html = '<a id="{id}" href="{url}" class="nav">{text}</a>';
94 var tpl = new Ext.DomHelper.createTemplate(html);
95 tpl.append('blog-roll', {
97 url: 'http://www.jackslocum.com/',
98 text: "Jack's Site"
100 tpl.append('blog-roll', {
102 url: 'http://www.dustindiaz.com/',
103 text: "Dustin's Site"
107 * <p><b><u>Compiling Templates</u></b></p>
108 * <p>Templates are applied using regular expressions. The performance is great, but if
109 * you are adding a bunch of DOM elements using the same template, you can increase
110 * performance even further by {@link Ext.Template#compile "compiling"} the template.
111 * The way "{@link Ext.Template#compile compile()}" works is the template is parsed and
112 * broken up at the different variable points and a dynamic function is created and eval'ed.
113 * The generated function performs string concatenation of these parts and the passed
114 * variables instead of using regular expressions.
116 var html = '<a id="{id}" href="{url}" class="nav">{text}</a>';
118 var tpl = new Ext.DomHelper.createTemplate(html);
121 //... use template like normal
124 * <p><b><u>Performance Boost</u></b></p>
125 * <p>DomHelper will transparently create HTML fragments when it can. Using HTML fragments instead
126 * of DOM can significantly boost performance.</p>
127 * <p>Element creation specification parameters may also be strings. If {@link #useDom} is <tt>false</tt>,
128 * then the string is used as innerHTML. If {@link #useDom} is <tt>true</tt>, a string specification
129 * results in the creation of a text node. Usage:</p>
131 Ext.DomHelper.useDom = true; // force it to use DOM; reduces performance
135 Ext.DomHelper = function(){
136 var tempTableEl = null,
