Replacing content of element about imba HOT 2 CLOSED

Sorry for the extreme lack of documentation at the moment. Usually you would not even use append, as static rendering (like in http://imba.io/#/examples/dynamic.imba) is much easier and more intuitive. You should be able to do $$(#app).children = ["Loading...",<li>] or if it is just text, you can do $$(#app).text = "Loading..."

If your div has id #app you don't need $$(#app) to select it by the way, all elements with id can be accessed directly through #myid. So it would be:

#app.text = "Loading..."
.. waiting for something ...
#app.children = [<todolist>]

Could also do #app.empty.append <todolist>

Oh, I see. Thanks for clearing that up. It's sometimes a bit of a hassle, but maybe also fun to be more pushed towards the source and figuring out how it works. None the less, loving the language so far!
