finding <input> item in Mozilla

Hi

I tried getElementById, it works in IE, but how I find items on a form
properly?
I can write a small for myself, but is there a function to find
<inputitems on a form?
That is, standard JS which also works in Mozilla

getElementById should works on all modern browsers, including
Mozilla. If your code is working in IE only, it's probably due to the
fact that you set the name attribute but not the id attribute of the
input tag. IE falls back to the name attribute when using
getElementById, but Mozilla based browsers do not.

Make sure your tag looks like this: <input type="text" name="some_id"
id="some_id" ... />

Also, duplicate Id's within a page can cause getElementById to behave
in strange ways.

Hello, I'm trying to put together a form with a very tight table formatting. However, every time I put an text-type input field in, the browser pads the area to the right of it with space. I've tried to eliminate it several ways, but it won't go away. It looks like it's forcing at least one space (line break?) in after each field, and then there's some mystery padding on the right that also refuses to go away. I've put up a demo of...

I thought I would update an old page on which I had used a <INPUT TYPE=image ...> with a <BUTTON><IMG SRC=...></BUTTON> The problem is that <BUTTON> always provides a shadow/emboss effect. Can I get rid of that? If the old <INPUT> button has been deprecated in favor of <BUTTON>, have all it's button functions been duplicated? Thanks for any help,

Hi, I'm trying to use the Visibility Style attribute for a Div to effectively PopUp a lightweight window with some additional context-sensitive information, when a user mouses over a given field(s). The popping-up seems to work just fine; it's the tearing down that's giving me grief. If I stick a onmouseout event on the same input field that caused the onmouseover/pop-up, it starts to flicker 'cos the <divis placed for esthetically...

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.
