tag but ignores the tag. Sorry for the OT/wrong forum post, but I find the collective knowledge of the fedora users to be one of the best out there... and the most helpful. TIA, Mike Wright :m) Below is the html being tested. ===================== Javascript DOM Experiments

I mean if you're trying to know what kind of element is it, just to process it in some how, then you will not get a result from just using the getElemntByid thing for example: d.getElementById('p'); will return in Firefox: [object HTMLParagraphElement] in IE Mac: [object P] why don't you just specify what you want to get back from it let's say you may use: var a = d.getElementById('a').innerText; by the way adding href="" to the anchor tag will let var a = d.getElementById('a'); return the href it self, if you still need an output that looks like: [object HTMLanchorElement] tell me and will find a work around for you... --===============3666475753126405116== Content-Type: text/html Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 Content-Disposition: attachment;

Thanks for your generous offer, Bassel. I need the node so I can use "nextSibling". What I'm trying to accomplish is to "display:none" or "display:block" the following element whenever the is onclicked. As you pointed out "document.getElementById()" returns not the id, but the href. (That really puzzles me and differs from the O'Reilly books on Javascript and Dynamic HTML). Is this a known bug? If it is I will have to wrap my tags in such a way that I can find the other node relative to it some other way. If you have ideas I'm eager and open eared :) Mike Wright :m) --===============7991905284684105520==-- From mike.wright@mailinator.com Fri Jun 5 18:51:44 2015 From: Mike Wright To: users@lists.fedoraproject.org Subject: Re: OT: [kind of SOLVED] need javascript/DOM help Date: Fri, 20 Jun 2008 16:10:59 -0700 Message-ID: <485C3903.8080803@mailinator.com> In-Reply-To: <485C3247.7090400@mailinator.com> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="===============3017703969486313175==" --===============3017703969486313175== Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Mike Wright wrote: > Bassel Safadi wrote: > >> On Sat, Jun 21, 2008 at 12:09 AM, Mike Wright wrote: >> >>> Are there any javascript/DOM gurus out there who can tell me why the >>> html page below does not behave as expected? >>> >>> Below is the html being tested. >>> >>> ===================== >>> >>> >>> >> PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" >>> "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> >>> >>> Javascript DOM Experiments >>> >>>
