DOM Wrapper

Hello all,

I have been trying to search for a Basic DOM wrapper for simple DOM
functions. I am wondering if someone can recommend any of the
exisiting Javascript Frameworks that possibly provide something like
this. I don't want something too high level, just something that gives
me very basic access to the DOM but has cross browser compatibility,
if there is such a thing.

Regards
Daniel

name of a different element, and use direct property access rather
than setAttribute, then basic DOM is implemented pretty consistently
across browsers.

As libraries go, I generally use YUI (which does normalise things
across browsers quite nicely). http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/

Hi, Dean Edward's Base2 is probably what you are after.
See here http://dean.edwards.name/weblog/2007/08/names/
and http://code.google.com/p/base2/

It is just as you want, not a 2MB fully-fledged 'all bells and whistles'
'all singing and dancing' js library', but just a tiny library to patch
up browser differences when using the DOM, especially broken DOM events.

*However*, it is still in Alpha and progress is *very* slow, and as such
can only be obtained from Dean's website. http://dean.edwards.name/weblog/

and also augments host objects.

For simple DOM wrappers, there has been a lot of progress made in the
last few days in the group's "Code Worth Recommending" project.
Events are on ths short list of topics to address.

It seems to me DOM events, including XMLHttpRequest objects are most in
need of being wrapped.
I dont have much need though, since I dont care about supporting every
browser known to mankind, and couldnt care less for anything older than IE6.

BTW, what do you think of this? http://www.robertnyman.com/domassistant/
