Hi Listizens,
I'm working on a project but am absolutely stymied and need outside help.
Both konqueror and firefox exhibit the same behavior so I don't think this
is a browser bug.
I've checked the xhtml1-strict.dtd and it says that anchor tags support the
core attributes which include id; however, the following html doesn't
produce the expected results.
Are there any javascript/DOM gurus out there who can tell me why the html
page below finds the p tag and the div tag but ignores the a 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)

will it's simple ,
what do you want to get from the getElementById('')?
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...

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 a 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 :)

Re: OT: need javascript/DOM help

Maybe this will help you to accomplish the flip flop part of your situation
script type=text/javascript
function flipflop(element){
var foo;
foo = document.getElementById(element);
if(foo.style.display != 'block')
{
foo.style.display = 'block';
}
else
{
foo.style.display = 'none';
}
}
/script
now you can simply:
a onclick=flipflop('SOME_ELEMENT');Flip Flop some thing/a
if this isn't what you need or if you can't apply the nextSibling thing on
the above function, then please tell...

it may be a known bug for Mozilla like browsers
