Hello,
I need your expert advice on the following.
I use javaScript code via <script>....</script> inside xml file which
would be rendered into html later.
I use a <input id="xxx"> element too.
I noticed that document-to-html.xsl recognizes @id and adds <a
name="xxx"/> before the input element, because of which the
document.getElementById("xxx") ends up getting the wrong element.
eh?
getElementById does what it says. It gets the element with a given id.
It shouldn't (can't?) return the anchor element with the name attribute.
Are you sure you diagnosed tho real problem?
To overcome the problem I commented out the <a name="xxx"> generation in
document-to-html.xsl, which made the code work !
What are :
1) The consequences of this change to what forrest normally expects or does?
The most immediate side effect will be that table of contents and other
cross referencing will not work.
2) What could be a better workaround than the hack that I did?
Lets see if this really in the problem.
