In order to keep subsequent code clear, I added a new method like this
HTMLDivElement. prototype.foo = function(arg) {
// foo for HTML div trees
}
Element.prototy pe.foo = function(arg) {
// foo for XML tree retrieved using XMLHttpRequest
}
Since I had used the same approach for extending Array in IE 5.0, I
thought this was a cross-browser compatible approach. I was so naïve!
It seems this works in gecko-based browsers only.
Is there a trick for making this work in IE 6, Safari and Opera 8? Or
should I write two functions like this
function fooHtml(elt, arg) {
// ...
}
function fooXml(elt, arg) {
// ...
}
?

I commiserate with you...
There was a related discussion (Attaching a method to DOM elements - March 7) at http://groups-beta.google.com/group/...d3cfb75c080f7/
which was kicked off by Funky function assignment question (Firefox vs. IE) http://groups-beta.google.com/group/...e2bbfa81aa1f7/
I am very skeptical about the speed of the offered IE method, besides objecting
to having to provide an extra file. I guess one should do experiments to see
whether the attachment in the IE method attaches the function to each
instance or not. If so, may as well just iterate through with javascript.

Array is a native object in ECMAScript and for those the constructor
functions and the prototypes are exposed and properties and methods can
be added. But <div> element objects are host objects, and the ECMAScript
specification doesn't in any way require that constructor functions of
host objects are exposed. Nor does the W3C DOM ECMAScript binding, there
are only a few interfaces where you could read that binding as requiring
the constructor function to be exposed to have static properties like
node type constants.

If you want to cover all those browsers you probably need to use that
approach with functions.

I imagine this subject has probably been brought up numerous times.
Forgive me for bringing it up again. I was googling through old posts
on this newsgroup about it and found a good suggestion on how to add
functionality to the string class. Rather than trying to inherit from
the string class, the author was suggesting wrapping the string class
in another class, like so:

Sorry if this has been discussed before (I'm almost certain it has), but
I didn't know what to google for.
My problem is, I have a class, a gtkmm widget, and I want it to serve as
a base class now, but I'm not sure if I'm taking the proper steps in
order to not break the whole class.
Are there any guidelines what I have to watch out for?
One question would e.g. be:

Hi, I read this in a book about the Xml classes in c#:
"These classes are abstract and therefore must be extended."
I just wanted to know what this statement means. I know it is not in
context, but the author gave it in such a matter that it appears
experience folks will know what it means to say a class is abstract and
extended.
Thanks.

Hello everyone.
I own two books. Learning Python and Python in a nutshell. When cross

Learning Python explains on page 324: Class Interface Techniques
(21.3.3 in the ebook) the following is an extender method.

Hi i have been struggeling with this question for quite some time now.
I have some helper classes that handle images (upload an image, create
thumbnails and show a imagelist), links (add link, edit link, show
linklist), comments (add comment, show commentlist) etc.
I do not need all this functionality on every page.
Ideally I could just extend the controller like this

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.
