Hi Naveed,

I do this:
(suppose textElement is the element you want to update)

Node parent = textElement.getParentNode();
Node stub = parent.getOwnerDocument().createElement("g");
// unlink element
parent.replaceChild(stub, textElement);

// run your updates

// re link element
stub.getParentNode().replaceChild(textElement, stub);

Hope this helps,
Daniel

I have a routine where i update several DOM elements inside an update manager
thread. The problem faced
is that setAttribute and setNodeValue methods take a lot of CPU time.

An earlier post says:

"Disconnect the tree from the document before making the changes.  This
avoids the overhead of keeping the GVT tree in synch with every change"

In my case i am updating the multiple attributes of different Elements
repeatedly. How can i detach the attributes of an element before making the
changes. If i do it, it would mean that i do something like for (1 -> n)
{
 Get current element from array
 Detach attributes of element             //which dom api method to call????
 Update multiple attributes of this element
 Attach attributes of element             //which dom api method to call????
}
Any pointers, links, references would be helpful.

Thanks
Naveed
