What I like in MochiKit is that you can pass an id to be looked up by
getElement anywhere a DOM node is expected.
Some functions, such as connect, could adapt naturally to receiving a
list instead of a node (others, such as swapDOM, do not).
This might be a crazy suggestion, but if the goal here is to integrate
selectors throughout MochiKit, a nice way to do it might be to use
findDocElements instead of getElement when a string is passed instead
of a node.
Implemented along the lines of the following (thanks Arnar):
connect(src, sig, objOrFunc, funcOrStr) {
// removed: src = MochiKit.DOM.getElement(src);
if (typeof(src) == 'string') {
return map(function (el) { return connect(el, sig,
objOrFunc, funcOrStr);}, MochiKit.Selector.findDocElements(src));
} else {
// current connect code for a single element
}
}
This would be backwards incompatible as current code such as:
connect('my-id', 'onclick', ....)
Would have to be rewritten as:
connect('#my-id', 'onclick', ....)
IMO think this would give MochiKit a lot of the ease of use of JQuery,
where selectors are pervasive.
Is this a bridge too far?
