enumerables problem?

I was wondering whether anybody could please tell me why this is causing an
error in IE (works in Firefox):
 
$A(container.getElementsByTagName(''*'')).each( function(el) {
    Element.cleanWhitespace(el); 
   }.bind(this));
 
What would be an alternative of achieving the same?
 
Thank you

Could you try this :

col = container.getElementsByTagName(''*'');
len = col.length
for(var i = 0 ; i < len ; i++) {
   Element.cleanWhitespace(col[i]);
}

Re: enumerables problem?

Hi Marco!

I''ve seen this before (namely in your dialogs), and i simply hacked my
way
around it with a try/catch block with no content in the catch...

try
{
Element.cleanWhitespace(el);
}
catch (e) {}

I have no idea why this happens although I know I''ve seen several other
people on the list report similar issues... I''ve just not had any time
to
research it.

RE: enumerables problem?

I think the problem is the .bind(this).  You aren''t referencing
''this''
in the function, what are you binding?  I''d say drop it and see if it
fixes it.

RE: enumerables problem?

Marco and I have been emailing about this and I finally found the fix,
so here it is.  Feel free to pass it along to Sam, if he even responds
to bug reports any more:

In prototype.js, change line 998 From:

        Element.remove(node);

 

To:

        node.parentNode.removeChild(node);

 

Element.remove calls $(), which calls Element.extend.  In
Element.extend, when it says element._extended = true;, it dies in IE on
text nodes (element.nodeType == 3).  Since we don''t really care to
extend the node just to remove it, we should not even care about
appending all of the extra functions to the node.  Another option is to
put a conditional in $() that just returns the element if it has a
nodeType of 3, but I suppose there might be some weird case where you
actually want to add extra functions to text nodes (I can''t think of
any
at the moment, though).

 

Greg
