There are some DOM helper functions in the core: https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyWiki5/blob/master/core/modules/utils/dom/dom.js > As you can see, the idea is to have one widget (even partially) redraw the > output of another, in this case even the parent. > To the extent that that is possible, you'd be working in the widget render tree, not the DOM tree. Remember that TW5 isn't like traditional jQuery development. With traditional jQuery work you keep the state of the application in the DOM; that's why there's a lot of DOM manipulation. In TW5, you never keep state in the DOM, and so there's very little DOM manipulation. > Is that a workable / meaningful pattern? > You're trying to apply your existing knowledge of DOM-based development to TW5. I think you'll run into difficulties by approaching it that way, because most of your working assumptions are going to be wrong. You're raising questions and proposals that are concerned with the low level code, and so I think you'll benefit from reading the code.
