What a Tool!

Issue #287  (adoptNode(), React, JSON/Data, Mobile)01/17/19

I've previously discussed DOM features that are specifically designed for dealing with cross-frame JavaScript, where you're accessing another page's DOM.

Another one that I recently came across is the document.adoptNode() method that allows you to move elements from an iframe to the parent of that iframe, or vice versa.

For full details, you can check out my article:

The article includes a couple of demos that demonstrate how to use this cross-browser feature with some possible use cases.
