— Yes, plain JavaScript.
I’m trying to attach a shadow DOM with a full document inside. I had hoped that I could just dump the full markup into a template element, but that strips the html, head and body elements.
— Currently, I’m creating html, head, and body elements by hand, insert the head and body markup and then I append the head and body elements to the html element. This feels ... very odd to write out.
— Wait a minute the shadow DOM was this thing in React or VueJS that renders, set HTML, only when smthing changes?
— You are maybe talking about Virtual DOM?
— Oh
— Yes
— Lol
— Yikes :D
— Shadow dom is not the iframe thing, right
— What effect you try to achive?
— If you think what I think you think, it is. It allows you to attach DOM fragments to it. The goal is to isolate the shadow DOM from the parent/host DOM. The main purpose is style isolation.
