Ullas's dashboard

The following code was more helpful to me for creating an inserting elements dynamically
It will be helpful if you cannot display your elements in the side bar
// create the top level html tag
var newElement = sidebarDoc.createElementNS('http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml', 'html:a');
// create a href attribute
var href = sidebarDoc.createAttribute('href');
// assign value // anchorTags is the array of tags obtained (see Yasser's post)
href.nodeValue = anchorTags[i].href;
// set the attribute to the tag
newElement.setAttributeNode(href);

other useful js calls can be :
sidebarDoc.createTextNode(); // to create a plain text node ; the innerHTML property didnt work for me

also
anchorTags[i].innerText // will give you the text from the tags rather than HTML

Hope this helps
