Example of document.createElement enhancement

create_element.js

// not sure how to detect this yet, stay tuned or leave a comment

window.document._createElement = window.document.createElement;
window.document.createElement = function(name, attributes) {
  if (typeOf attributes === 'string') {
    // Chrome adds an undefined 'is' attribute for the second arg, why is this?
    // Chrome is also throwing a TypeError for any third arg I can think of (number, string, object)
    return window.document._createElement(arguments);
  } else {
    var elm = window.document._createElement(name);
    for (key in attributes) {
      // FIXME: does not support style, or other nested attributes yet
      // Assumes all boolean values are present/not-present
      if (typeOf attributes[key] === 'boolean') {
        if (attributes[key]) {
          elm[key] = key;
        }
      } else {
        elm[key] = attributes[key]; 
      }
    }
    return elm;
  }
  }
}
