In Ipython notebook I can append html below a cell using something like…
%%javascript
const div = document.createElement( 'div' )
this.element[ 0 ].appendChild( div )
Is there a JupyterLab equivalent to this? there doesn’t seem to be a reference to the cell anymore using ‘this’
this opened up a whole can of worms lol
I ended up doing a hacky answer where I just wrote some identifying string in the cell, query selected on input area, searched for my string, and found the corresponding output area which solved problem A, then I found out the entire kernel interface has since been changed, so I just gave up and went to install an older version alongside lab… which apparently causes the entire universe to collapse. so I ended up downloading a python install, installed the specific version of notebook i wanted to it’s site-packages, and just run everything sandboxed there. what a mess. Just wanted to do some opencv on a file that I got through an input tag, then add some sliders to change settings with input type=range without jumping through python hoops. didn’t care about nbconvert not working as its just for my own notes
