Old comments from project's wiki

Because I'm cleaning projects wiki and all the comments will be
removed I'm pasting them here in case someone still needs them.

Is this plugin still maintained? Will it be compatible with future
versions of jQuery? Why is it not listed under http://plugins.jquery.com/
?

Yes, it is still maintained. jQuery Plugins Page url is
http://plugins.jquery.com/project/DOMEC But the versions posted there
are not up-to-date because I decided that I want to keep in one place
and Google Code gives more possibilities. But there is a link on
jQuery Page to this site where you can post issues, download latest
versions etc.

Is it possible to create a textbox? How does someone go about creating
one using your plugin?

-----

Of course you can create textbox. You can create any DOM object you
need.

$.create('textbox', {rows: 4, cols: 40}, 'initial text');

It may be a correction but I was able to get a text box using the
following...

$.create('input', {'type': 'text', 'value':'Initial Text', 'name':
'elementname', 'id': 'elementid'});

I think you were referring to a textarea. :P

Another question, to add css styles, is there a way I can add it to
the attributes or am I just safe prepending it to the object?

You can add a style or class property just as you do with type, value
etc. in the example above. You can also add styles after creating an
element. In both cases the effect should be more less the same.

$.create('input', {type: 'text', style: 'border: 1px solid, padding:
10px'}); should be the same as $.create('input', {type: 'text'}).css
('border', '1px solid').css('padding', '10px');

That is cool, I meant appending (not prepending) in my last post and
that is similar to your last example but I do it a little different
but with the same result:

$.create('input', {type: 'text'}).css({border:'1px solid',
padding:'10px'});

Thanks for all your help.
