can anyone suggest a couple of websites providing *compatible*
javascript?
of course there is http://javascript.internet.com/ http://javascriptkit.com/
and the likes, but time and again you have to try out, test it only to
find it only works in IE.
at school, we want to test a number of javascripts, preferably
compatible with *all* browsers (mainly, but not just firefox).
tnx for suggestions 9  4428

That's typically what you get from copy-n-paste sites.

Learn the language, write your own cross-browser scripts.

Grab a few that are easy to modify for FF use and modify them.
As long as they don't do anything too horrible that uses MSIE only
things that have no FF counterpart (which you usually don't see for
the web, anyway; you see that sort of thing for intranet apps), it's
not usually too hard.
Or go to dynamicdrive.co m and make sure you look specifically for
cross-browser scripts.

In order to know what is "easy to modify for FF" it requires a level of
understanding that you wouldn't need to find copy/paste scripts, you
would already know how to write your own.

A big part of the problem, I think, is that so much of what you find on
the web are hacks, instead of good well-written code. Most of it was
probably written years ago too. Take for example this:
<html>
<head>
<script>functio n a (){ alert(t.i.value ) }</script>
</head>
<body>
<form name="t"><input name="i" onchange="a()"> </form>
</body>
that works, but it's not valid html. If you change <html> to this:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
then suddenly that code wont work. It wont work because it was invalid
all along - I'm supposed to use document.getEle mentById("i"), but if I
was just throwing together a hack for a tips website, maybe I wouldn't
care.
So you see, the problem isn't really compatibility. It's often
validity.

No, you don't use getElementById to gain access to a form by its name.
You use the forms collection:
document.forms['formNAME'].elements['elementNAME'].value;
You went from one IE-only example to another IE-only example.
So you see, the problem isn't really compatibility. It's often
validity.
No, it's im/proper accessing that is the problem, along with validity
but more times than not, its crappy script writing.

Personally, I have the same opinion that Jim Ley has. I don't like
canned copy/paste scripts. I would rather write a specific script for a
specific case.
But that aside, I honestly don't know of any "good" sites that have
copy/paste scripts.

As HTML 4 transitional the only invalid aspects of that mark-up appear
to be the absence of a TITLE element and a missing TYPE attribute in the
SCRIPT element. Neither of those errors would impact upon the behaviour
of the script in any real-world browsers.
that works,
Well, it doesn't. Assuming that a named form will be made available as a
named property of the global object is a bad habit aquifer because it is
true of IE browsers. It was never true of a significant proportion of
other browsers. That script never would have worked in a Netscape
browser, for example.
but it's not valid html. If you change <html> to this:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
That is seriously disingenuous. Asking any script to survive the
transition from HTML to XHTML is very optimistic, as the XHTML DOM
requires a style of scripting that is very distinct from that required
for an HTML DOM. Asking HTML mark-up to successfully pass through an XML
parser is totally unrealistic.
then suddenly that code wont work.
Given that the original script was aimed at proprietary features of IE's
object model, and IE doesn't support/render XHTML at all, that isn't a
particularly unexpected change, though very few non-trivial scripts
would survive the transition form an HTML DOM to an XHTML DOM anyway.
It wont work because it was
invalid all along -
The invalidity in the original is not a factor in determining whether
that script would work or not.
I'm supposed to use document.getEle mentById("i"),
There are no elements in the original mark-up that have the ID "i", so
that would not be a useful change to make. The W3C HTML DOM specified
(and very back-compatible) - document.forms - collection is the place to
look-up forms by name (and/or ID, in W3C DOM implementations ), and the -
elements - collection of the form is the place to look-up named (and/or
IDed, in W3C DOM implementations ) form controls.
<snip> So you see, the problem isn't really compatibility.
It's often validity.
You haven't made your point at all. There are plenty of opportunities to
demonstrate invalid mark-up (particularly structurally invalid mark-up)
having a detrimental impact upon the scripted interaction with the
resulting DOM, particularly around the invalid placement of forms within
TABLE elements, but this 'example' is most likely to detract from a
case for the use of valid mark-up.

bert76 a écrit : can anyone suggest a couple of websites providing *compatible*

The thing is if you use web standards compliant DOM attributes and
methods, chances are your webpage will be working as expected on all
modern browsers.
of course there is
http://javascript.internet.com/
Deprecated, rusted pages, full of invalid markup code and invalid CSS
code, full of poor, wrong coding practices, etc..
http://javascriptkit.com/
and the likes, but time and again you have to try out, test it only to
find it only works in IE.
Yep.

Hi,
my colleague coded the following onclick events with Javascript which
only seem to fire in IE not in firefox. The checkboxes are built in
Form frmProdDet while looping through a recordset (ncount=0..1..2..n)
of Stock Items. The idea is to prefill quantity of ordered items with 1
when buy checkbox is checked, and to empty it when cleared. I put in
alert for testing displays in IE fine, not in fx. My guess its a
syntactical problem.
