2009 NEWS 2009-04-09 - NEW DOCUMENTATION: Implied Nodes
Documentation has been added to the JavaScript Widgets guide, describing the implied nodes facility.
Implied nodes are DOM nodes that are expected by a widget class to exist in the document in order to support the functioning of instances of such a class. They are "implied" because the implementation of a widget class implies their presence in the DOM. The vast majority of widget classes are implemented to expect the existence of certain nodes in the DOM. For example, the slider class (Uize.Widget.Bar.Slider
) anticipates the presence of the track
, knob
, empty
, full
, and value
, and root (blank) implied nodes.
