HTMLTemplateElement - Web APIs | MDN (original) (raw)

Baseline

Widely available *

The HTMLTemplateElement interface enables access to the contents of an HTML element.

**Note:**An HTML parser can create either an HTMLTemplateElement or a ShadowRoot when it parses a element, depending on the <template> attributes. If an HTMLTemplateElement is created the "shadow" attributes are reflected from the template. However these are not useful, because an HTMLTemplateElement is not a shadow root and cannot subsequently be changed to a shadow root.
