Hi Guys,
I think IE is having problems recognizing when the dom is fully loaded
and calling my init function before all of the elements all are the
page. My code works great in Firefox but IE throws an error at this
line var tabAnchors = $(navTabs).select(''li a''); saying
"Error: ''null''
is null or not an object". However, if I put an alert call before that
line, IE works fine. Is there a better way to check for dom load in
IE? Sample code below.
var NavSwitcher = {
init: function(navTabs, gumballHolder) {
//alert('''');
var tabAnchors = $(navTabs).select(''li a'');
tabAnchors.each(function(a) {
a.observe(''click'', function(e) {
e.stop();
var tabName = a.readAttribute(''href'');
NavSwitcher.activateTab(tabAnchors, tabName);
});
});
NavSwitcher.activateScroller($(gumballHolder));
},
.....
}
function video_hub_init() {
NavSwitcher.init(''shows_list'',
''vid_list_holder'' );
// bypass the EOLAS patent lawsuit
objects = document.getElementsByTagName("embed");
for (var i = 0; i < objects.length; i++) {
objects[i].outerHTML = objects[i].outerHTML;
}
}
document.observe("dom:loaded", video_hub_init);

It avoids all issues with "dom:ready" functions and will let your page load faster too. -- Rob --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Spinoffs" group.

Putting your scripts at the bottom of the BODY tag is one way. Prototype has some issues with IE and consistently calling the dom:loaded event. The newer 1.6.0.3 release (due out soon, I hope), should resolve this. I tweaked your code a bit: http://pastie.caboo.se/203250 - JDD --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Spinoffs" group.
