Hi everybody,
I need to get a element create dynamically by its name. It's ok for
FF, but on IE, getElementsByName return "undefined".
I create this code but not sure that it can work on older IE ....if
someone can test this code on older IE ?
( and in the hope that it can be usefull for others ! )
1- It first create a combobox dynamically and set the NAME attribute
to it.
2- It overwrite the getElementsByName method if the nav is IE
3- If all is ok, it must write the innerHTML code in an alert box
thanks for help,
TSalm
