Is there a standard way of traversing the DOM to find all the
javascript in a document? As far as I know, the only legal positions
for javascript in the DOM is within a <scriptelemen t or in the event
handlers of other elements. Are there other legal locations?
Finding the <scripttags is easy enough using
document.getEle mentsByTagName. But locating all event handlers by
traversing the tree of elements and querying for all attributes such as
onclick, onmouseover etc. feel pretty heavy. Is there some simpler way
of doing this?
Thanks in advance,
Nik

Why would there be, as the script got into the document because someone
chose to put it there, and so should know where it is?

That would depend on how 'legal' you regarded putting javascript
pseudo-protocol "URLs" into HREF, SRC, ACTION, etc, attributes.

document.getEle mentsByTagName. But locating all event
handlers by traversing the tree of elements and querying

And is not going to find listeners attached with - addEventListene r - in
W3C standard browsers or - attachEvent - in IE.

Probably not, which does not mean there is no solution to whatever the
real problem is.

That is not always true. I would wager it's false more than it's true.

Hi all,
I have the following problem. In my page i have a large <div> with tags
inside it that have event handlers on them (onclick etc.). When i run
div.innerHTML = moreText + div.innerHTML, either before or after the page
has fully loaded, all of those event handlers are dropped: the actions for
the event are not executed anymore.
I can't find anything related to this problem on the internet. Has anyone
ever encountered a similar...

Hello All:
I've recently been recreating some 'dropdown menus' for a website I
manage. I'm writing all my event handlers into my .js file. I've got
the coding to work in Firefox, but the onmouseleave / onmouseout event
I've attached to my hidden drop down (in this case an <ul>), is not
firing correctly. It seems that when the mouse enters the ul it fires
the mouseleave event. The problem is in the hideMenu2(e) function.

Recently I've rewritten much of my old Javascript code to use DOM functions
so that enhancements can be attached to documents without needing to alter

have the same effect as adding those event handlers through attributes of

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.

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