Why do you need to clone then remove the component-template element?

[Shrikant Kelkar, 2014/05/23 03:49:23]

Not removing component-template, just removing 'hidden' attribute of cloned
node.

+  $('component-placeholder').innerHTML = '';
+  $('component-placeholder').appendChild(output);
   jstProcess(input, output);
+  output.removeAttribute('hidden');
 }
 
 /**

  * components.
  * The ComponentsDOMHandler should reply to returnComponentsData() (below).

String needs to be translated, i.e., loadTimeData.getString.

Done.
