Misc

$A.getEl(): The "$A.getEl()" method returns an element with a matching ID attribute.; Syntax
var myEl = $A.getEl('objId');

$A.createEl(): The "$A.createEl()" method returns a newly created element.; Syntax
// Format: $A.createEl(tagName, attributeKey/ValueMap, cssKey/ValueMap, className, domNodeToInsert) var myLink = $A.createEl('a', { href: 'url', target: '_blank' }, { fontSize: '1.1em', backgroundColor: '#f5f5f5' }, 'link external', document.createTextNode('Visit here to learn more about stuff!')); // Or for a basic element var basicElement = $A.createEl('div');

$A.getAttr(): The "$A.getAttr()" method returns the value of an attribute on a DOM node.; Syntax
var myTitle = $A.getAttr(domNode, 'title');

$A.remAttr(): The "$A.remAttr()" method removes an attribute, or an array of attributes from a DOM node.; Syntax
$A.remAttr(domNode, 'title'); // Or $A.remAttr(domNode, [ 'title', 'id' ]);

$A.setAttr(): The "$A.setAttr()" method sets an attribute, or a series of attributes on a DOM node.; Syntax
$A.setAttr(domNode, 'title', 'The chocolate moose is not in season'); // Or $A.setAttr(domNode, { title: 'The chocolate moose is not in season', id: 'myObjId' });

$A.getText(): The "$A.getText()" method returns the textual content of any DOM node.; Syntax
var text = $A.getText(domNode);

$A.inArray(): The "$A.inArray()" method returns the index value of a matching item within an array or string.; Syntax

Extensions

$A.fn.globalDC

The "$A.fn.globalDC" object is merged with every AccDC Object, simulating a prototype where plugins and extensions can be globally added to each instance.

Default: {}

Syntax


// Change the default functionality for all AccDC Objects by adding an override

$A.fn.globalDC.returnFocus = false;

// Or add a custom method/property to every AccDC Object

$A.fn.globalDC.myFunction = function(){

var dc = this; // The current AccDC Object instance

alert(dc.id);

return dc; // To preserve method chaining

};

Important

Changes to the "$A.fn.globalDC" object will not automatically be applied to previously instantiated AccDC Objects.
Use the "$A.globalDCMerge()" method to manually merge "$A.fn.globalDC" with all previously instantiated AccDC Objects.

$A.globalDCMerge(): The "$A.globalDCMerge()" method manually merges the "$A.fn.globalDC" object with all previously instantiated AccDC Objects.; Syntax
$A.globalDCMerge();

Namespaces

$A

"$A" is the global namespace for the AccDC API, which includes internal namespaces that should not be overwritten.

Reserved namespaces:

$A.reg
$A.fn

The "$A" global namespace can be manually reassigned to prevent conflicts.
// Syntax // In the head tag... <script type="text/javascript"> // Set a new global namespace AccDCNamespace = "Whatever"; </script> <script type="text/javascript" src="Acc.DC.API.js"> // Then load the AccDC API // Now "Whatever" is the global namespace </script>

dc

"dc" refers to the current instance of any registered AccDC Object, which includes internal namespaces that should not be overwritten.

Reserved namespaces:

dc.ajaxOptions
dc.drag
dc.drop
dc.accDD
dc.shadow
dc.fn
