hi all,

does anyone know how i can get the tagtype based on id?
e.g.

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. <div id="foo"><p id="bar">test</p><img id="hi" src="hi.jpg"/></div>
  2.  
  3. alert(getTag("foo"));  //would return 'div'
  4. alert(getTag("bar"));  //would return 'p'
  5. alert(getTag("hi"));  //would return 'img'
  6.  
does anyone know how this can be done?

Use document.getEle mentById() to get the element and then use the tagName property to get the tag name/type.

No doubt I've overlooked something obvious, but here goes: Let's say I assign a value to a var, e.g.: myPlace = 'right here' myTime = 'right now' Now let's say I want to print out the two vars, along with their names. I could easily do this: print "myPlace = %s, myTime = %s" % (myPlace, myTime)

I heard that the name attribute is deprecated in html 4.01 strict. Is it recommended that you use the ID attribute for images along with the getElementById method instead of the old way? Thanks.

Hi All, I'm using SOAP3.0. I was able to successfully call a WSDL file and get a value properly. But when the WSDL changed to have a MULTIPLE <element name> it was failing. This code works BEFORE: strCurrency = oSOAP.eServeSearch(CSTR(Request.Form("T1"))) until the WSDL file changed to have more <element name> T1 is just a field that accepts a STRING
