Meet my little friend createTree

Read Original

The article details a developer's experience fixing a rendering bug in an iPhone app built with PhoneGap and jQTouch. The issue was caused by Mobile Safari's unreliable innerHTML implementation. The solution was to replace jQuery's .html() method with a custom createTree function that programmatically builds DOM nodes from a simple data structure, improving reliability and code clarity.
