special "for" not working and passing arguments to events

Hello group.

In the following testcase I attach to the final of the message, I have
two questions:

1) According to comment # 1, how can I pass an argument to the
function that way?

2) According to comment # 2, why this special structure for the "for"
statement is not working?

Testcase:

<html><head><ti tle>Testcase</title>
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaS cript">
<!--
function Alert(number) {
window.alert("A element clicked!(number :" + number + ")");

return false;
}

function ApplyAlerts() {
var oAElement = window.document .getElementById ('alert1');
oAElement.oncli ck = Alert; //how can I pass an argument? [comment
#1]

var aElements = window.document .getElementsByT agName('a');

for (var i = aElts.length; i--; ) { var oElement = aElts[i]; //this
works
//for (oElement in aElts){ //Why this doesnt work? [comment #2]

if (oElement.id)
if (oElement.id == 'alert2')
oElement.onclic k = Alert;
}
}

window.onload = ApplyAlerts;
//-->
</script></head>
<body id="body">
<div id="test">
<a id="alert1" name="alert1" href="http://www.google.com"
target="_blank" >Link1</a><br />
<a id="alert2" name="alert2" href="http://www.google.com"
target="_blank" >Link2</a>
</div>
</body></html>

Use a continuation:

oAElement.oncli ck = function() { Alert(42); };

[...] //for (oElement in aElts){ //Why this doesnt work? [comment #2]


You're not using IE5, are you? It has lousy Javascript support, including
not supporting the 'in' token. (It also barfs at // comments. Helpful.)

I'm working on a prototype of a new application in Python. At some point, if this ever turns into a product, the powers that be will almost certainly demand that it be done in Perl. My job will be to convince them otherwise. The basic design of the application is object oriented. I've never used Perl's OO features, so I'm not in a good position to make a comparison of the two languages from an OO point of view. Can somebody who's...

Hi all. Just working on a small virtual machine, and thought about using vector iterators instead of pointer arithmetic. Question is, why does an iterator plus any number out of range not generate a out_of_range exception? Maybe this is a gcc issue? I'm using gcc version 3.3.3 (cygwin special). Here's the full sample code: #include <iostream>

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. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
