setInnerHTML arguments?

[Don Morrison]

The documentation describes setInnerHTML as follows:

W.setInnerHTML(search, replace, mod): Sets the content of element/s with matching id or class name or both.

What do those arguments mean? Is one of them the id, another the class name, and the third the text to stick in there? Or something else? They don’t really seem to match the description.

Hi Don,

You are right the documentation is not so clear there. Here is the inline doc:

https://github.com/nodeGame/nodegame-window/blob/master/lib/modules/extra.js#L446

Replaces the innerHTML of the element with matching id or class name
     *
     * @param {string|number} search Element id or className
     * @param {string|number} replace The new value of the property innerHTML
     * @param {string} mod Optional. A modifier defining how to use the
     *    search parameter. Values:
     *
     *    - 'id': replaces at most one element with the same id (default)
     *    - 'className': replaces all elements with same class name
     *    - 'g': replaces globally, both by id and className

Let me know if you have other questions.

Cheers,
Stefano
