Good thinking. I took a look at some JavaScript Libraries /
Frameworks. Here are some quick counts of how many times I could see
that they use the "getElementsByTagName" method of getting the "head"
element:
- MooTools 1.2.3 has: 2
- jQuery 1.3.2 has: 2
- Ext 3.0.0 has: 5
- YUI 3.0.0b1 has: >10
- Prototype 1.6.1, MochiKit 1.4.2, Dojo 1.3.2 have: 0
I am not making any criticism of the libraries. I'm just re-enforcing
the fact that it is a popular method of getting the "head" element,
and adding document.head would be a worthwhile improvement.
