How do I make this function netscape/firefox friendly?

[effendi]

Can anyone help me; this code works perfectly in IE but not in NN or
Firefox.

function fDHTMLPopulateFields(displayValuesArray, displayOrderArray){
for(i=0; i<displayValuesArray.length; i++){
displayFieldName = "div_" + displayOrderArray[i] + "ID"
document.all[displayFieldName].innerText = displayValuesArray[i]
}
}

Thanks in advance.

Untested quick hack:

function fDHTMLPopulateFields(displayValuesArray, displayOrderArray) {
var i,
currentElement,
displayFieldID,
currentChild,
nDisplayValues = displayValuesArray.length;
for (i=0; i<nDisplayValues; i++) {
displayFieldID = "div_" + displayOrderArray[i] + "ID";
currentElement = (document.getElementById
&& document.getElementById(displayFieldID))
|| (document.all
&& document.all(displayFieldID));
if (typeof currentElement == "object") {
if (typeof currentElement.innerText != "undefined") {
currentElement.innerText = displayValuesArray[i];
}
else if (currentElement.firstChild
&& currentElement.removeChild
&& currentElement.appendChild
&& document.createTextNode
) {
while ((currentChild = currentElement.firstChild)) {
currentElement.removeChild(currentChild);
}
currentElement.appendChild(
document.createTextNode(displayValuesArray[i])
);
}
}
}

ciao, dhgm

Thanks in advance.

the code is using "document.all", which was invented by microsoft,
works only in their browsers (though i read ff has an "invisible
support" for that, but i never tested) and is not conform to standards.
try to avoid it.

use for instance document.getElementById("id") to access elements
