Hi Arthur, Automatic node finding will not help is this case because the node I want is not static, hence not added to 'this.$'. The only way I know to get a reference to the node is using this.shadowRoot.querySelector() or this.shadowRoot.getElementById().
It would be nice if the 'this.$' was updated upon a conditional rendering of a template that would include the element in 'this.$'. -- Leandro Rodrigo Saad Cruz On Tue, Oct 21, 2014 at 4:33 PM, Arthur Evans <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Leandro, > > This kind of question is probably best asked over on stack overflow > <http://stackoverflow.com/>, using the polymer tag. > > I think this section might provide the pattern you're looking for: > > > https://www.polymer-project.org/docs/polymer/polymer.html#automatic-node-finding > > Cheers, > Arthur > > > On Tue, Oct 21, 2014 at 11:07 AM, Leandro Cruz <[email protected]> > wrote: > >> Hi all, >> >> I have a custom element A which is extended by element B.
