Simple question, which I should probably know the answer to, but how do I convert a prototype element to the raw HTML?

You could, for example, use Firebug to examine the generated DOM On Feb 4, 2008 12:52 PM, ChrisT <ctmailinglists-gM/Ye1E23mwN+BqQ9rBEUg@public.gmane.org> wrote:> > Simple question, which I should probably know the answer to, but how > do I convert a prototype element to the raw HTML? > > Cheers > > Chris > > >--~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Spinoffs" group.

Chris,
Unfortunately, only IE has outerHTML (which is what you need). You
could try something like this:
Element.addMethods({
toOuterHTML: function(element) {
return $(element).cloneNode(true).wrap().innerHTML;
}
})
...
<p class="foo" id="bar">blah</p>
...
$(''bar'').toOuterHTML(); // => "<p
class=''foo'' id=''bar''>blah</p>"
Best,
kangax

It''s not a question of examining it, I need to insert it into an
function (defined in external library) that only accepts a string (not
elements). For the moment, I''ve built up the HTML string by hand
rather than using new Element("p",....).update(...).
It''s not I big problem (and is probably quicker), but just assumed I
was missing something.
Cheers
Chris

Kangax approach seems to be ideal for the scenario but I think you''ll need to extend the cloned object before invoking wrap.

Duh! That''s actually the trick we use to speed up new Element()... Looks like my memory is going down the drain.
