Can you please add a sentence or two about why this needs to be done with DOM manipulation instead of g_form or other oob methods? Otherwise looks good.

[zstromsodt]

From my understanding, this isn't possible using oob methods or g_form according to documentation I found. Happy to use those if there is a solution for it.

If DOM manipulation is illegal in the code snippets, I can close the pull request. I misunderstood the purpose of this project if that's the case.

[wiz0floyd]

No, I think you're right that there's not a native method for this. I meant can you add some information in the readme and/or code comments stating that DOM Manipulation must be used for this. Just want to include extra context since DOM manipulation is usually not aligned with best practices.

Please reopen once you add a note about DOM Manipulation being necessary for this specific use case :)
