One challenge this presents is that DocumentFragment doesn't hvave th 72307 2 rafaelw 2012-08-16 18:35:33 +0000 [continued] One challenge is that while DocumentFragment does have querySelector(All), it doesn't have getElement(s)By*. I don't see why it couldn't, but it doesn't currently. I'm actually ok with this. querySelectorAll is sufficient for any need. I'm happy filing bugs to add more API to DF later if need be. 72311 3 tross 2012-08-16 18:41:24 +0000 (In reply to comment #2) > [continued] > > One challenge is that while DocumentFragment does have querySelector(All), it > doesn't have getElement(s)By*.

I'd favor enhancing DocumentFragment itself (so sounds like a good bug for DOM4). This would also remove the need to separately declare getElementById and friends on the ShadowRoot interface in the Shadom DOM spec. 72313 4 rafaelw 2012-08-16 18:48:00 +0000 So I just asked Ojan about this and the reasoning that this hasn't been done yet is that getElementsBy* return live node lists while querySelectorAll returns a static node list, which is preferred now. So basically, the sentiment is to encourage the use of querySelector* vs getElementsBy*. I'm fine with this. I suppose we could add getElementById if we thought it was really important. Obviously, everything can be accomplished with selectors, but that's not obvious to alot of webdevs. 72314 5 tross 2012-08-16 18:53:08 +0000 That makes sense, though if that's the sentiment should we instead have a bug to remove these APIs from ShadowRoot? 72316 6 rafaelw 2012-08-16 19:06:55 +0000 Yep.
