Hi,
I'm making an AJAX call to load prototype.js
I then call eval on the request's response text ie
success: function(req){
eval(req.responseText)
}
This works to load most javascript, but prototype in particular is
confusing me. This error is getting thrown:
Node has no properties
by the following prototype source (line 1526):
if (!window.Node) var Node = { };
if (!Node.ELEMENT_NODE) {
Debug statements immediately before this section show
window.Node != null
Node == null
As far as I understand javascript that should be impossible since
window.Node == Node as long as you're operating at the base level name
space, ie window, not in a function etc.
Obviously none of these shenanigans show up when I load prototype
normally with a script tag. Is it really possible that eval is
behaving differently than the javascript interpreter? Isn't it just a
hook into the javascript interpreter?
Thanks for the help, this is driving me nuts with curiosity!
Carl
