Yes, this is my understanding too. The virtual DOM is built each time the 'view' function is evaluated, then some internal code in the runtime diffs this with the page and tries to update the page as efficiently as it can. What I am trying to figure out is when will a diff actually be detected and applied? The content inside my div is changing, does that also cause the parent div to be completely replaced? Weirdly it was working before with the same structure, but not now, so the conditions under which it happens are not very clear. Perhaps even if they are clear, it is not a good idea to rely on knowing them; the diffing algorithm may change. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Elm Discuss" group.
