Last active March 4, 2017 08:36

Create element function that makes the best of jquery and javascript. Will convert to jquery plugin and test speed there as well.

Plan is to make this function the method to use when creating elements so that it is always the fastest and most browser compatible me…

	var exampleObj = {
	tag: 'div',
	attr: {

	href: 'some/url/path',
	class: ['createdElement', 'example', 'parent'],
	text: 'some text'

	*** This will no longer lock up your browser tab, but it will not find a match for a very long time **
	*** Do not run this in a tab you do not want to reload **
	*************************************************************************************************************
	*
	* This was just me playing around trying to see if I could get a duplicate random string
	* when using the Math.random().toString(radix) method.
	*
	* I had planned to implement web workers with this as well so that I could let it
