var checkbox = document.create Element('input' );
checkbox.type = 'checkbox';
checkbox.name = 'checkboxName';
checkbox.defaul tChecked = true/false
checkbox.value = 'Kibology';

Some browsers have a problem assiging names to dynamically created input
elements in this way. You should define the name like so:

var checkbox = document.create Element('<input name="chName">' );

Whilst Microsoft may support that syntax, it is *not* correct. The
argument is the element name only.

I can't test with Mozilla at the moment, but Opera returns undefined[1]
with such a call, so the approach cannot be recommended at all.

Hi everyone. I'm attempting to write a Javascript that will create a form within a brand-new document in a specific frame of a frameset. The problem is that I can create the form and input element using createElement(), but when I go to append the form element into the new document, the script halts and I get the following error in my Javascript Console (Firefox 1.0): __tmp_newDoc.body has no properties.

He there! I've discovered that the ================================================= document.links('link_id_here').href = "something"; ================================================= is not applicable for the Firefox (even for the 1.0.6), and I'm falling into passing through the array and checking each link id.

Hi all, I want to get the actual dimensions of a document's content, not the body's width/height. I want to do this to be able to resize an iframe element in which this document resides to exactly the dimensions of the text/content of this source. My quick hack would be the code below, but it seems to be somewhat wild.. is there a more elegant way to solve this problem? greetz
