Question

I am using Chris Ganger’s crate library to generate html on the client side.

(defpartial html [] form)

(def form 
  [:div.form-horizontal
   [:fieldset
    [:legend "Student Registeration"]
    [:div.control-group
     [:label.control-label "Hello World"]]])

When I execute the above function in in clojurescript repl (html) I get #<[object HTMLDivElement]>.

However when I execute it as (.log js/console (html)), the proper generated html is logged into the browser’s console.

How do I get it to return a HTML string instead of an object?

Thanks,
Murtaza

Answer 1

The object is an Dom Element object for the DIV element. You can use “outerHTML” property of this DOM element to get its string representation.
