DOM Append Text and Element Functions

JavaScriptSource Staff Feb 20, 2009

General

These two functions will append new text or new elements (nodes) to existing elements within the page. Great addition to a JavaScript library. Easily modified.

Ma quande lingues coalesce, li grammatica del.

Li nov lingua franca va esser plu simplic e regulari.
