Hi Wizz,
yeah I create the elements with new Element but it's inside a function; so i
call the function which builds the dom snipped (it's passed some stuff it
needs)
I guess I could make it return an object with more than one dom object so I
have access to the image as it already returns the final snippet
I was just wondering if the nav methods were meant to work on detached
nodes.
