Insert Tag Callback Events and Object Handles

[unknown1]

Hello,

I am successfully capturing insert_tag events using the appropriate callback, but do not know how to accomplish what I want done. I want to be able to insert an id attribute value upon insertion of certain tags. I know how to see what tag the user is inserting, but I do not know how to obtain a handle to a correspondiong DOM object which will allow me to set an attribute value and then have the open document reflect this.

I'm more familiar with the ACL side but will speculate AOM
follows suit...the insert tag callback fires before the tag is
inserted, allowing you to say yea or nay. I think you want the insert tag
after callback. Its signature should include a reference to the node
that was inserted.

That's just it - I have tried insert_tag_after too, and I get the doc, the tagname, and the op. I don't want the doc, because that means I have to search, and I don't want to do that, especially against an element which has no name or id upon insertion. I just want the Node that was inserted, or which is about to be inserted, I'll take either.

Can you depend on the caret telling you which node was
inserted?

function InsertTagAfterCallback( doc, tagname, op
)

{

face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>if ( op == 2 )

face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>{

class=133232615-28032006> face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>local o = oid_current_tag( doc
);

class=133232615-28032006> face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>if ( oid_name( o ) != tagname
)

class=133232615-28032006> face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>{

class=133232615-28032006>
# assumption false.

}

face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>}

}

Looking at href="http://www.w3.org/TR/2000/REC-DOM-Level-2-Events-20001113/events.html#Events-eventgroupings-mu...,
it looks like you would want the MutationEvent where typeArg is DOMNodeInserted
or DOMNodeInsertedIntoDocument. Comparing this to the AOM, I only see the
DOMAttrModified and DOMCharDataModified events. Hard to believe AOM can't tell
you when an element is inserted or removed. Moving on for now but am interested
if someone has figured this out.
