inner_text or self?

[Yurii Rashkovskii]

Hello,

another question. I'm thinking to replace self with something like
inner_text. I.e. if you had something like:

update('#blog-entry').with at('a') => { :href => @url, self => @title }

you will need to rewrite it to:

update('#blog-entry').with at('a') => { :href => @url, inner_text =>
@title }

Though in early version both self and inner_text could coexist.

The reason for this change is to provide more meaningful keyword
instead of self.

What do you think about this change?

Thank you,
Yurii.

How about just 'text'?
inner_text seems a bit awkward to me.

`text' sounds even better for me!

What about content? Just a bit more generic meaning.

Michael,

Actually `self' logic (which I'm going to rename to `text') is
updating #inner_html and it accepts strings or whatever that will be
#to_s'ed successfully.

And `text' seems to be shorter :)

Yurii,

I like the use of the more meaningful name

How would the simple construction when no hash is required work?

For example: right now, I think I can say

update('#blog-entry').with at('p') =>"Stuff to go inside paragraph element"

Would this remain valid syntax, or would I have to use:

update('#blog-entry').with at('p') => { inner_text =>@title }

?

Thanks again for the great plugin.

Yes, it will remain a valid syntax with no doubt, and also you can
make it even simpler:

update('#blog-entry/p').with "Stuff to go inside paragraph element"

in case if you need to update blog-entry's <p> only.

All those kind of constructs work now, the only changed planned is to
rename `self' with `text' (seems to be nicer than `inner_text')
