I think its not very specified on the DOM Level 3 Core Document what happens with the return value of the node-inserting operations, so they delegated that part to the implementation. I don't think Mozilla or Apple failed to stick on the document.
Besides that, DocumentFragment is an interface of Node so its technically a Node itself. In this thinking I would return the empty DocumentFragment because its a Node.

— The W3C IDL Definition for DocumentFragment is

interface DocumentFragment : Node {
};

var table_body_channel = $('#thetable tbody'); // this is the element (this element not exist yet)
listData(

but in listData when i call table_body_channel its not the correct tbody. how to make it work?

— Guys, do you know why they decided to make the arrow functions bound to the parent context? I mean, was there a reason for it?

— What else would it be bound to 🤔

— Well, arrow functions don't have their own this, while normal functions do, right?

— Correct

— So... what was the point of that approach?
