他支援以下DOM2方法:
appendChild, cloneNode, hasAttributes, hasChildNodes, insertBefore, normalize, removeChild, replaceChild.
也支援以下DOM2屬性:
attributes, childNodes, firstChild, lastChild, localName, namespaceURI, nextSibling, nodeName, nodeType, nodeValue, ownerDocument, parentNode, prefix, previousSibling, textContent.
其他方法可以將documentFragment 作為一個參數,(比如Node的 appendChild和insertBefore 方法),這樣,fragment 就可以被追加到父對象中。
Example:
複製代碼 代碼如下:var frag = document.createDocumentFragment();
frag.appendChild(document.createTextNode('Ipsum Lorem'));
document.body.appendChild(frag);
document.createDocumentFragment()說白了就是為了節約使用DOM。每次JavaScript對DOM的操作都會改變頁面的變現,並重新重新整理整個頁面,從而消耗了大量的時間。為解決這個問題,可以建立一個文檔片段,把所有的新節點附加其上,然後把文檔片段的內容一次性添加到document中。複製代碼 代碼如下:var oui=document.getElementById("oItem");
for(var i=0;i<10;i++)
{
var oli=document.createElement("li");
oui.appendChild(oli);
oli.appendChild(document.createTextNode("Item"+i));
}
上面的代碼在迴圈中調用了oui.appendChild(oli),每次執行這條語句後,瀏覽器都會更新頁面。其次下面的oui.appendChild()添加了文本節點,也要更新頁面。所以一共要更新頁面20次。
為了頁面的最佳化,我們要盡量減少DOM的操作,將清單項目在添加文本節點之後再添加,併合理地使用creatDocumentFragment(),代碼如下:複製代碼 代碼如下:var oui=document.getElementById("oItem");
var oFragment=document.createDocumentFragment();
for(var i=0;i<10;i++){
var oli=document.createElement("li");
oli.appendChild(document.createTextNode("Item"+i));
oFragment.appendChild(oli);
}
oui.appendChild(oFragment);

-------------------------------------------
DocumentFragment is a "lightweight" or "minimal" Document object. It is very common to want to be able to extract a portion of a document's tree or to create a new fragment of a document. Imagine implementing a user command like cut or rearranging a document by moving fragments around. It is desirable to have an object which can hold such fragments and it is quite natural to use a Node for this purpose. While it is true that a Document object could fulfill this role, a Document object can potentially be a heavyweight object, depending on the underlying implementation. What is really needed for this is a very lightweight object. DocumentFragment is such an object.
Furthermore, various operations -- such as inserting nodes as children of another Node -- may take DocumentFragment objects as arguments; this results in all the child nodes of the DocumentFragment being moved to the child list of this node.
The children of a DocumentFragment node are zero or more nodes representing the tops of any sub-trees defining the structure of the document. DocumentFragment nodes do not need to be well-formed XML documents (although they do need to follow the rules imposed upon well-formed XML parsed entities, which can have multiple top nodes). For example, a DocumentFragment might have only one child and that child node could be a Text node. Such a structure model represents neither an HTML document nor a well-formed XML document.
When a DocumentFragment is inserted into a Document (or indeed any other Node that may take children) the children of the DocumentFragment and not the DocumentFragment itself are inserted into the Node. This makes the DocumentFragment very useful when the user wishes to create nodes that are siblings; the DocumentFragment acts as the parent of these nodes so that the user can use the standard methods from the Node interface, such as insertBefore and appendChild.
