or: DOMWindow -- open with selector I'm writing a plugin that creates a div with a form and attaches it to the document, hidden. There may be several of these on the page so I dispensed with IDs, choosing to use class selectors to get at them to display, etc.. So far, this has been fine.
However, I'd like to have the option to use a DOMWindow to display these divs. I'd like to assign a click handler to my button which would open the corresponding div. The problem is that DOMWindow only seems to accept an ID for the div from which to get the inline content. There doesn't appear to be any way to pass it a selector string (both strange and unfortunate). It looks like I'll need to add IDs to my hidden divs, though, as I said, there's no telling how many will be created on a page. I've read that appending datetime to an ID string isn't guaranteed to provide unique strings. Does anyone have any hints for a bullet-proof way to do that? Or, should I just hack this feature into DOMWindow and get on with things? [1] http://swip.codylindley.com/
