IE5 and document.create Element

I'm having some trouble getting document.create Element to work with IE
5. Is this because it's unsupported? And, if it is unsupported, is using
innerHTML a valid workaround?

Implies that it should work in IE5, but what code is not "working"?

I've tested it further and I think the problem is different from the one
I first thought it was. Some thing like this doesn't work:

<script type="text/javascript">
window.onload = foo;
</script>
<body>

whereas this does work:

<script type="text/javascript">
</script>
<body onload="javascr ipt:foo();">

This is not the way I want to handle events. Is there something I can do
to get the first way (event handlers?) to work in IE5?

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.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not.
