Permitted parent elements Any element that accepts flow content.
DOM interface HTMLShadowElement

Attributes

Example

Here is a simple example of using the <shadow> element. It is an HTML file with everything needed in it.

Note: This is an experimental technology. For this code to work, the browser you display it in must support Web Components. See Enabling Web Components in Firefox.

<html>
  <head></head>
  <body>

  <!-- This <div> will hold the shadow roots. -->
  <div>
    <!-- This heading will not be displayed -->
    <h4>My Original Heading</h4>
  </div>

  <script>
    // Get the <div> above with its content
    var origContent = document.querySelector('div');
    // Create the first shadow root
    var shadowroot1 = origContent.createShadowRoot();
    // Create the second shadow root
    var shadowroot2 = origContent.createShadowRoot();

    // Insert something into the older shadow root
    shadowroot1.innerHTML =
      '<p>Older shadow root inserted by &lt;shadow&gt;</p>';
    // Insert into younger shadow root, including <shadow>.
    // The previous markup will not be displayed unless
    // <shadow> is used below.
    shadowroot2.innerHTML =
      '<shadow></shadow> <p>Younger shadow root, displayed because it is the youngest.</p>';
  </script>

  </body>
</html>

If you display this in a web browser it should look like the following.
