What's the difference?
ele.setAttribute(x, val) works on any element. ele[x] = val does not. They
also behave differently for a large number of cases and the latter often
takes values of a type other than DOMString.
I'd expect this:
a = Element.create("a", {href: "http://link";, onclick: function(e) { },
custom: "value" }, "link");
to be essentially equivalent to
a = document.createElement("a");
a.appendChild(document.createTextNode("link"));
attrs = {href: "http://link";, onclick: function(e) { }, custom: "value"
};
for(key in attrs) a[key] = attrs[key];
Would you expect to write contenteditable as contenteditable or as
contentEditable? Also, would you expect custom to end up as a content
attribute on that <link> element? Because it will not with this code.
