SgtPooki / CreateElement
Last active March 4, 2017 08:36
Create element function that makes the best of jquery and javascript. Will convert to jquery plugin and test speed there as well. You can check results of speed tests here: http://jsperf.com/building-dom-items/2. Plan is to make this function the method to use when creating elements so that it is always the fastest and most browser compatible me…
/*
Sample object that should work is:
var exampleObj = {
tag: 'div',
attr: {
id: '1234',
href: 'some/url/path',
class: ['createdElement', 'example', 'parent'],
text: 'some text'
},

Simple test to see how long it takes a random alphanumeric function to generate a duplicate string.

* This was just me playing around trying to see if I could get a duplicate random string
