How to add attr to a node? about goquery HOT 2 CLOSED

Hi ohohco,

Because goquery works only with a tree of html nodes (provided by the go.net/html package), and not a full-fledged DOM as in the browser, it only provides a read-only API, so you can't alter the nodes (altering the nodes would not have any visible effect unless you serialized back the nodes to their HTML form).

Now a while ago it was mentioned that someone wanted to use goquery for a template engine or something like that. I can see how a write API could be useful in such circumstances, and I would be open to merge pull requests that added such "node-altering" features (with tests, and "in the spirit" of the rest of the package, meaning staying true to the jQuery API and following the naming conventions of this package).

Not really the answer you were looking for, but I hope it helps explaining the design choices!
