The purpose of Swapperoo is to overcome some of the challenges that come with a website that needs full html functionality (no javascript) with the ability to load sections of the page asynchronously.
Iframes give web pages the ability to asynchronously load individual parts of a page. Unfortunately, that comes with a price: the bounding box that is rather difficult to deal with.
Replacing iframes that have been used to load parts of the page that would significantly slow down the page load time, such as a report.
This section is actually an iframe that, by nature of an iframe, load's after the initial page is rendered. Iframes do not resize or flow with the rest of the page, so Swapperoo swaps out the iframe for a div after the iframe has finished loading. This enables the section to flow properly with the rest of the page and eliminates scroll bars that come with overflowed content within an iframe.
<div id="roo">
<iframe data-swapperoo-target="#roo" src="/some/async/url"></iframe>
</div>swapperoo.autoStart();Loading part of the page after user interaction, such as the click of a button.
Form submissions
When clicking the submit button, Swapperoo will submit the form via ajax and prevent a page reload. On a successful request, the target will be replaced with the response.
Click events Clicking an element to fetch more data.

</div>run(elements, callback)
@param {NodeList|Array} elements - An array of elements to initialize.
@param {function} callback - A callback that is called after rendering
autoStart()
Takes no parameters, but initializes any element on the page that has data-swapperoo-target on it without a data-swapperoo-id.
selectors
{Object} - An object that contains the various data attributes that are valid on an element.
data-swapperoo-target - required: The id of the element swapperoo is going to replace.
data-swapperoo-content -
data-swapperoo-url - Url for a form submission or url to request data from onClick.
data-swapperoo-toggleClass - space separated list of classes that should be toggled after rendering.
data-swapperoo-append - method used for attaching new content to the dom. Valid values are append. Anything else will be ignored and the target will be replaced.
data-swapperoo-accordion - if this attribute exists, no matter what the value is set to, the element will be treated as an accordion.
data-swapperoo-id - a string that used to identify a swapperoo element. Required if used along with run and a callback. This also excludes it from being auto initialized.
