Rails spinoffs - Mar 2008 - IE8: Attribute "class" in new Element() not working

Hello together,

I figured out, that new Element(''span'', {
''class'':''something'' }); doesn
´t work in IE8. The generated source code looks like <span
className="invisible"></span>.

It´s easy to fix it by manipulating directly the Prototype-Core, but
who can I do this better, e.g. by overwriting new Element() in an
external file?

Greetings!

It´s not that dificult to overwrite specific methods or to enhance
Objects with methods - how is it possible to manipulate/overwrite "new
Element()"?

> It´s easy to fix it by manipulating directly the Prototype-Core
If I''m reading your message correctly, it sounds like you think the
issue is a bug in Prototype (as opposed to a bug in the IE8 beta) and
than you''ve found a solution to the problem.  Probably the best thing
would be to post a note to the Prototype Core group (http://
groups.google.com/group/prototype-core) outlining the details of the
problem and your fix to see whether there''s agreement that
it''s really
a Prototype issue (as opposed to a bug in the IE8 beta, of which there
are bound to be many!).  If it''s really a Prototype bug, the best way
to address it is to file a trac ticket (http://dev.rubyonrails.org/)
and ideally -- as it sounds like you''ve found a solution -- post a
diff file with the solution.

Thanks,
