fastLocate
fastLocate(name[, localContainer]);

The clear() method completely clears the cache for the DOM binder for all queries. It should be used whenever, for example, the container's markup is replaced completely, or otherwise is known to change in a wholesale way.
refresh
refresh(names[, localContainer]);
The refresh() method refreshes the cache for one or more selector names, ready for subsequent calls to fastLocate(). It functions exactly as for a call to locate() except that
The queried results are not returned to the user, but simply populated into the cache, and
More than one selector name (as an array) may be sent to
refreshrather than just a single one.
Parameter | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| String or Array of Strings | The selector name or names to refresh, as declared in the component's |
