DOM Manipulation

[HARSHvardhan]

ServiceNow has recommended us not use DOM manipulation techniques in our health scans however they have not mentioned the alternatives for these methods. Are there any alternatives for using "$", gel, getElementById(), getElementsByClassName() in client scripts ?

Hello @HARSHvardhan 

There are alternatives in client script such as :

var attachments = document.getElementById('header_attachment_list_label');

can be replaced as:

var attachments = g_form.getFormElement('header_attachment_list_label');

You can use glide form instead of dom manipulation.
