I am trying to access the nodes in the content tag using Polymer.dom(this).getDistributedNodes() with no luck. I have also tried a variety of other methods including querying the shadowRoot directly.
I can't find anything in the documentation for 1.0 that explains how to do this. Does anyone know how to get nodes within <content>?
A new version (1.2) of polymer was released a couple of days ago. Polymer blog explains new features regarding your issue, maybe you can find some help there.
