For some reason, after the most recent upgrade to the latest prototype
version, some of my scripts stopped working in IE. They continue to
work in FF, but IE shows a "script error".
Specifically, I''m having problems with:
$(''the_item'').innerHTML = ''whatever'';
Any help/insight is appreciated.
Thanks

Ok, I''ll have to give it a try tomorrow... but why would .innerHTML stop working altogether? Especially in IE, when Microsoft supposedly developed the innerHTML functionality back in the day?

Please give a full example, preferably at an online URL where this
happens. You can also try using Microsoft Script Debugger to isolate
the line of code where this happens.
The latest version of Prototype sure works fine here on IE,
and .innerHTML isn''t even part of Prototype -- in this case i assume
that $(''the_item'') returns nothing. To debug it, a full HTML
page is
required.
Best,
Thomas

I never had any issues with that. Can you give examples...? Sounds FUD- ish to me... :?

A mysterious bug in MSIE just disappeared when I changed to an id without an underscore. It really should not matter, and most of the time it doesn''t. But once in a blue moon it does - for some unclear reason. It''s probably very very rare. -- Bertilo Wennergren <http://bertilow.com> --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Spinoffs" group.

The underscore was just an arbitrary example. But, I''ve changed
the .innerHTML usage to .update(''whatever''), and I''m
still having
problems in IE with it (not FF)... returns a "script error".
Here''s a real example of the code I''m using:
$(''registerMessage'').update(''<p><strong>Update
Failed. Please Try
Again.</strong></p>'');
Pretty standard, right? In other instances, I''m doing something like:
$(''registerMessage'').update(val);
Where "val" is a variable containing stuff.
For a real example, you can visit http://consumer.myshoutoutloud.com
[will require user registration], and try out the "myDATA" page. This
live version is using the .update method rather than the .innerHTML
method, since neither work anyway.
Thanks

Addendum: now things just aren''t working in GENERAL after moving to the .update method.

Solution: So what happened was that my scripts (and IE) stopped liking action="<? echo $PHP_SELF; ?>", and so I replaced it with actual URLs. I''m not sure if that fixed it, or it was some other little tweaks I made, but overall it works. I just have to work out a few minor things, but it''s working in IE.
