| DocumentFragment | DOM Level 1 |
| Nodes to be manipulated together | Inherits From: Node | Description DocumentFragment inherits the methods and properties of Node, and defines no new method or properties of its own. It has one important behavior, however: when a DocumentFragment is inserted into a document tree, it is not the DocumentFragment node itself that is inserted, but the children of the DocumentFragment. This makes DocumentFragment useful as a temporary placeholder for nodes you want to insert, all at once, into a document. See Also Document.createDocumentFragment( ) |
