DIV element in firefox

[tweety]

I have a Rich text editor which is a DIV element. I am not able to
capture the value of this element.i am working in firefox browser.

alert(window._content.document.getElementById("RTE Content"));
This alert message gives "null".

The DIV element is declared in a IFRAME.
Have i missed somthing in referring to the div element? Help me.

I might well be wrong, but from my (limited) experience dealing with
DIVs (and other elements for that matter) -
alert(document.getElementById("RTEContent").value) should work.
Provided you replace the ".value" property with whatever it is you are
trying to access.

I am sure I am wrong, there's no way it could be that simple...

Mozilla only supports editable iframes where the designMode property is
set to on. It is not possible to have only a single div that is editable.
alert(window._content.document.getElementById("RTE Content"));
This alert message gives "null".

The DIV element is declared in a IFRAME.

Give that frame a name attribute e.g.
<iframe name="iframeName"
then you can script e.g.
var iframe = window.frames.iframeName;
if (iframe && iframe.document && iframe.document.getElementById) {
var div = iframe.document.getElementById('RTEContent');
if (div) {
// now use div here
}
}

I might be totally wrong, but with windows other than the main one, you
have to either access by the array or by name. While I think firefox
allows for getElementById(); method, you should use window.frames[]
instead so you can also support Internet Explorer.

Name your div RTEContent like you did with Id

Then if you use alert(window.frames['RTEContent']);
you should get a referance to the iframe.

The problem is with XPCNativeWrapper. In the alert statement the object
is displayed as object XPCNativewrapper[object HtmlDivElement]

In the chrome the XPCNativeWrapper=yes by default for Firefox 1.5

How do i over write this to XPCNativewrapper=no?

Is there a solution that could be used in the javascript code to
access the dom objects?
does this always happen with iframe?

I referreed to the documentation in mozilla site and tried out
explicit XPCNativewrapper
but does not work.
