can somebody resolve this

Please can somebody show me a way to work around this. It works in IE6 but doesn't in Mozilla 2.0.0.4.
the code is just a prototype that was written minutes ago and i tried commenting it a lot for readability.

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">

var txt = "";

function prompter()

{

txt+="Do you want to write your message from scratch?\n";

txt+="If yes, click OK button. If No, click CANCEL button."

if (confirm(txt)){

//clear the document

document.form1.reset();

};

}

function sender()

{

//pick message in message field

var name= document.form1.elements[0].value;

//pick email address

var mail = document.form1.elements[1].value;

var textMessage = document.form1.elements[2].value;

var condolenceWindow = window.open("condolencepage.htm"); //do create one yourself please

var insertThis = "Condolence message from "+name+"\n"+textMessage+"\n"+mail;

//problem starts from here. 

var holdBody = condolenceWindow.document.childNodes[0].childNodes[1];

var holdText = condolenceWindow.document.createTextNode(insertThis);

var holdPara = condolenceWindow.document.createElement("p");

holdPara.appendChild(holdText);

holdBody.appendChild(holdPara);

alert("Your message is now on record and the family will reply in due course.");

}

</script>
 
</head>
 
<body>

<form id="form1" name="form1" method="post" action="">
 
  <label>Name

  <input type="text" name="textfield" accesskey="N" />

  </label><br/>

  <label>Email Address

  <input type="text" name="textfield2" accesskey="A" />

  </label><br/><label> Insert you r</label><br/><textarea name="message" cols="30" rows="20" id="condolence" accesskey="C" title="Condolence Message" dir="ltr" lang="en"></textarea><br/>

  <label>Submit

  <input type="button" name="Submit" value="Submit" accesskey="S" onclick="sender()"/>

  </label><input name="Reset" type="button" accesskey="R" value="Reset" onclick="prompter()" />

</form>  

</body>

</html>

i even tried getElementByTag and ByName. Puzzling.

and i think you should wait a moment for the document to be ready:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 condolenceWindow.onload = function() {

      //problem started from here :)

      var holdBody = condolenceWindow.document.lastChild;

      var holdText = condolenceWindow.document.createTextNode(insertThis);

      var holdPara = condolenceWindow.document.createElement("p");

      holdPara.appendChild(holdText);

      holdBody.appendChild(holdPara);

}

(note to remove the spaces in line 4 between Thi and s when you copy and paste the code ;))

with that it should reliably work ...

kind regards

thanks gits but lastChild didn't work. i tried that twice. ByTags doesn't and so does anything but childNodes and except for IE6
