Examples| Code Block |
|---|
|
var container = fluid.container("#menu-content");
|
| Code Block |
|---|
|
var el = document.getElementById("menu-content");
var container = fluid.container(el);
|
In both of these examples, fluid.container() returns a jQuery object that wraps the DOM node with an id of "menu-content." In both cases, if the node is not found, an error will be thrown. | Code Block |
|---|
|
var container = fluid.container(".autocomplete-container");
|
| Code Block |
|---|
|
var auto = jQuery(".autocomplete-container");
var container = fluid.container(auto);
|
In both of these examples, fluid.container() returns a jQuery object that wraps the DOM node with a class of "autocomplete-container." In both cases, more than one such node is found, an error will be thrown. | Code Block |
|---|
|
var container = fluid.container("#no-such-id", true);
|
In this examples, if no node in the DOM has an id of "no-such-id," fluid.container() will not throw an error since the second argument is true: the return value will simply be null. |
