what i would have loved 10 years ago was a jquery for windows, $('#32770').find('OK').click().. not sure if thats relevant still

anyway on win JS, have an upvote, but my advice is to stop extending html into some javascript/xml hybrid.

i think a functional approach there would be really sweet

    <div data-ref="listview1">
      <button>1</button>
      <button>2</button>
      ........
    </div>
    
    winJS('listview1').all('button').onclick(dostuff)
    

lets extract the logic from the view, so its way more easy to maintain than

    <div class="button-well">
                <button data-win-bind="onclick: changeSelectionMode">ReadOnly</button>
                <button data-win-bind="onclick: changeSelectionMode">Single</button>
                <button data-win-bind="onclick: changeSelectionMode">Extended</button>
                <button data-win-bind="onclick: changeSelectionMode">Multi</button>
            </div>

also when you create a control on the fly you can see the difference in keystrokes:

     $('body').append('<button>').onclick(dostuff)
     //versus
     body.innerHTML += '<button data-win-bind="onclick: changeslelectionmode">'; initBinds();

can you actually make native controls in win10 or windows mobile with this? that would be really cool also.
