DocumentFragment
DOM Level 1
Nodes to be manipulated together
Inherits From: Node
Description
DocumentFragment inherits the methods and properties of Node, and defines no new method or properties of its own. It has one important behavior, however: when a DocumentFragment is inserted into a document tree, it is not the DocumentFragment node itself that is inserted, but the children of the DocumentFragment. This makes DocumentFragment useful as a temporary placeholder for nodes you want to insert, all at once, into a document.
