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.
Could anybody confirm it's true and/or direct to a more elegant
solution if any?
Thanx,
Andrew

> But, all my question is based on a createElement and setting its (new) attributes on the fly
Ah, I misunderstood (because OP was only about changig given elements).
where (setting attributes to a virtual element) :
- my IE fall down, errores, breaks, if type it's tried to set
whatever I can test
By newly generated elements, you should of course being able to set the
Attribute by setAttribute("t ype", "inputtype" ) - but changing the attribute this
way is without effect. So the type can be given once and is then only readable.
So that's really a bug in your IE (and the IEs Mac-Version is famous for its
bugs, especially in JS :o(
- my IE wants 'className' as attribute for new class
while my FF wants 'class' for same attribute
All was in my comemted example I give here back :
example :
<html>
<script type="text/javascript">
var ind = 0;
function newTextField(id ) {
ind++;
var ntf = document.create Element('INPUT' );
ntf.setAttribut e('className',' inpText'); // IE way
ntf.setAttribut e('class','inpT ext'); // FF way
Didn't thought about the easiest way: Setting both attributes doesn't hurt the
other browsers, everyone can use the attribute he likes :)
ntf.id = id+ind; // don't know if ID is an attribute ?
Yes it is an attribute, ntf.setAttribut e('id',id+ind) should bring the same
resultat.
ntf.setAttribut e('type','text' ); // IE breaks function here
ntf.type = 'text'; // all as with this way
var val = 'new field id = '+id+ind;
ntf.setAttribut e('value',val);
var place = document.create Element('P');
place.appendChi ld(ntf);
document.body.a ppendChild(plac e);
}
</script>
<style type="text/css">
..inpText { background:yell ow; border:2px solid red; color:blue }
CSS-Classes should start with one dot:
..inpText { background:yell ow; border:2px solid red; color:blue }
IE accepts this, FF does not.
</style>
<button onclick="newTex tField('nouv'); ">New Field</button>
</html>
I try to tell to that new input element (createElement)
it's attribute would be one of types :
- text
- checkbox
- radio
- button
- submit
- reset
If I (and you, and they, we) can't set this type,
how to do to get some more radio-buttons, or check-boxes, or ... ?
OK, as said before, I misunderstood the problem. On creating the element, you're
able to set the type-attribute but it's not changeable.
[className]
this attribute is not understood by FF ... !
And that seems to be an error in the FF-Implemantation.
....
if (document.getEl ementById(eleme ntid).getAttrib ute("className" )) {
// use setAttribute("c lassName", "")
No, I am still in createElement
I can't get an attribute not yet set ...
Well, the same here: Other problem, so i described the wrong way. But simply
setting both, class AND className, as you did, seems to work fine. document.getEle mentById(elemen tid).className = "green";
works in both browsers, IE and FF,
Yes, this way all work fine
document.getEle mentById(elemen tid).class = "green";
works in none, so FF seems to be a little bit inconsequent.
It seems to :-/
So IE5/mac has a bug in setting the Type-Attribute by setAttribute, so you have
to get around this bug by using another way, ie ntf.type = "".
On Windows, the posted code with setAttribute("t ype", "text") works fine in IE6
and after correcting the .. in the css in FF too.
I've still one last alternative, a little more code, but when generating new
elements the "cleaner" version: Does createElement work in IE/Mac?
var ntftype = document.create Attribute("type ");
ntftype.nodeVal ue = "text";
ntf.setAttribut eNode(ntftype);
