$('som_div')
$('som_div div.child_of_some_div')
I find myself frequently referencing child divs so use .down() a lot. It
would be convenient at times to get to that child div directly with the $
shortcut as I've exampled above. Has anyone else considered this or
something similar? Would this be a costly addition to the core, or perhaps
a mistake for the core?
1 good justifying reason for this, and perhaps there is an easy fix here as
well.
I frequently will write a class and the class itself will expect a layer
object; that layer object being the primary container for content the class
interacts with. So my constructor usually looks like:
var myClass = Class.create({
initialize:function(layer) {
this.container = $(layer); // here is the
}
});
I'm finding that I do not have a convenient way to initialize myClass when
layer is not a defined object, so when it is a child object of a defined
object this is not convenient.
I'd like for the following to be suitable means to instantiate myClass:
var _myClass = new myClass('my_div'); // where my_div is a defined object
var _myClass = new myClass('my_div div.child') // where we intend the
child div of my_div to be the classes container
The latter does not work with the $ approach in the initializer for the
class. Is there another convenient means to accomplish this in the class or
am I stuck doing this:
var _myClass = new myClass($('my_div').down('div.child'))
