wine users - Jul 2010 - getElementsByName

static HRESULT WINAPI HTMLDocument3_getElementsByName(IHTMLDocument3 *iface,
BSTR v,
                                                      IHTMLElementCollection
**ppelColl)
{
    HTMLDocument *This = HTMLDOC3_THIS(iface);
    FIXME("(%p)->(%s %p)\n", This, debugstr_w(v), ppelColl);
    return E_NOTIMPL;
}

I'm trying to use an application that has an embedded IE browser component
and unfortunately the html that's rendered in there makes heavy use of the
dreaded getElementsByName method.  Can someone please for the love of Hercules
implement this method in wine.  Thanks you very much.

As it has been stated many times here, if you want it fixed, you have to 
fix it yourself or find a developer who is willing to do so.  Developers 
may have looked at this, figured it was too difficult or no one has the 
knowledge to properly implement this.  YOU can help, read how to submit 
patches to the Wine project or you can attempt to build a test case 
(remember we cannot have any contact with Microsoft source or code 
derived through reverse coding Microsoft dlls) from publicly available 
information.    This is what I'm doing for the three richedit functions 
I need to run programs that I routinely use.

Further discussion on this matter should be in the Wine Developer's lists.

Have you tried something like "winetricks ie6" already? If not, use a
new WINEPREFIX, or backup/move your old .wine folder, install the software in
the new WINEPREFIX, and try winetricks.
