# registerElement2 method

Function registerElement2 (String tag, [ Map options ])
override

Register a custom subclass of Element to be instantiatable by the DOM.

This is necessary to allow the construction of any custom elements.

The class being registered must either subclass HtmlElement or SvgElement. If they subclass these directly then they can be used as:

    class FooElement extends HtmlElement{
       void created() {
         print('FooElement created!');
       }
    }

    main() {
      document.registerElement('x-foo', FooElement);
      var myFoo = new Element.tag('x-foo');
      // prints 'FooElement created!' to the console.
    }

The custom element can also be instantiated via HTML using the syntax `<x-foo></x-foo>`

Other elements can be subclassed as well:

    class BarElement extends InputElement{
       void created() {
         print('BarElement created!');
       }
    }

    main() {
      document.registerElement('x-bar', BarElement);
      var myBar = new Element.tag('input', 'x-bar');
      // prints 'BarElement created!' to the console.
    }

This custom element can also be instantiated via HTML using the syntax `<input is="x-bar"></input>`

## Implementation

    Function registerElement2(String tag, [Map options]) {
      return _registerCustomElement(JS('', 'window'), this, tag, options);
    }
