Re: Re: Using DOM object, how?

Even better, you can just extend the DOMDocument class, which is perfect, since I'm basically just adding convenience methods. Thanks all for your help Ken <?php

    $x = new MyDom();

    $x->createScriptElement('howdy.js');
    $x->createCSSLinkElement('howdy.css');
    $x->createStyledDivElement('bugColumnTitle', "I'm a styled piece of text!");

    print($x->saveXML());

    class MyDom extends DOMDocument
    {
        function createScriptElement($inPath)
        {
            $new_elem = $this->createElementAndAppend('script', null);
            $new_elem->setAttribute('type', 'text/javascript');
            $new_elem->setAttribute('src', $inPath);
        }

        function createCSSLinkElement($inPath)
        {
            $new_elem = $this->createElementAndAppend('link', null);
            $new_elem->setAttribute('href', $inPath);
            $new_elem->setAttribute('rel', 'stylesheet');
            $new_elem->setAttribute('media', 'screen');
        }

        function createStyledDivElement($inStyle, $inData)
        {
            $new_elem = $this->createElementAndAppend('div', $inData);
            $new_elem->setAttribute('class', $inStyle);
        }

        function createElementAndAppend($inType, $inData)
        {
            // setting null inData to an empty string forces a close tag which is what we want
            $elem_data    = ($inData == null) ? '' : $inData ;
            $new_elem    = $this->createElement($inType, $elem_data);
            $this->appendChild($new_elem);
            return $new_elem;
        }
    }
