Javascript Childnodes

[howard15]

Hi,

I'm having a problem with Javascript reading childnodes. For some weird reason, javascript will not read the childnodes correctly if I have the form fields in separate <td> tags.

Anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks.

This sample code works:

<form name="myform" id="myform">
<table width=200>
<tr>
<td>
<select name="test">
<option value="1">1</option>
<option value="2">2</option>
<option value="3">3</option>
</select>
<input type="button" name="assign" value="Assign User" onclick="javascript:get(this.parentNode);">
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>
<table>

But this does not:
<form name="myform" id="myform">
<table width=200>
<tr>
<td>
<select name="assigned_user">
<option value="1">1</option>
<option value="2">2</option>
<option value="3">3</option>
</select>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<input type="button" name="assign" value="Assign User" onclick="javascript:get(this.parentNode);">
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>
<table>

In second case parent node for your button wil be table cell, not 'form' element. You should walk up to the tree until you'll get it:

while (node.tagName.toLowerCase() != 'form') {
    node = node.parentNode;
}

Something like this.
