I have been looking at Embind for the last few days. Thank you for the suggestion but I do not think it is what I am looking for (although I could be wrong there, there is so much reading to learn from).
Really my problem boils down to this: I want to create and manage the HTML elements (I am not interested in Canvas) via C++ in order to create a new head-only library that is the jQuery for C++/Emscripten. This is my goal, any way. Going to be real slow going since I am only one guy (will invite pull requests once I am happy with it). Especially if I remain stuck for a while here. Thanks for any help and/or pointing me to more information!
