  • jQuery Appends Multiple Elements Using Efficient Document Fragments

    Earlier today, in my blog post on using jQuery's $.map() method, I talked about creating a buffer of detached DOM (Document Object Model) nodes . The value-add behind that post was the fact that the DOM nodes remained detached as long as possible; this allows them to be created and configured without incurring the cost of DOM rendering and repainting.

This plugin was created so that detached DOM (Document Object Model) nodes could be created and configured, en masse, without incurring the performance cost of visual rendering.

To this, I can only say that I find the deferred / promise aspects create more readable and enjoyable code.
