IE and Mozilla .. DOM parsing.

[dmjpro]

Have a look at my HTML code...

<TD some..attributes ..... id="my_TD">
 <TABLE ... >
 .
 .
 </TABLE>
</TD>
 

Now see what i am getting in Mozilla 2.0 and IE 6.0

alert(document.getElementById('my_ID').childNodes.length);
 

In Mozilla it shows 2 (it's ovious, first child is textNode and next child is "TABLE"), but in IE it shows 1 .. only the child "TABLE".
How do i solve this?

I don't think, you can solve it, but does it really matter? (well, depending on what you do)

btw. IE's DOM implementation is not the best…

hmmm :P
Well so to access the "Table" what would be the generalized code? ;)

tabChild = parentNode.childNodes[0].tagName && parentNode.childNodes[0].tagName=='table'?parentNode.childNodes[0]:parentNode.childNodes[1];
 

S***, IE is so hell :(

[Dormilich]

document.getElementById("my_TD").getElementsByTagName("table")[0];

Yeah that's good, Actually i always have been using "document.getElementsByTagName", but it can be with any element to find out the childNodes ;)
2 3 days earlier i read the MDC document there i saw it, but could not apply it here.
Thanks !
