Folks,
When I try to get the array form form.getElements(); In FileFox or
Netscape it works fine, but if I try the same code in IE 7 I get an
"Object doesn''t support this property or method"
here is the code:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://
www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;
charset=iso-8859-1">
<meta name="author" content="David Gens">
<title>Button Test</title>
<script src="/bgeJS/prototype-1-6.js"></script>
<script src="/bgeJS/AJAXhelper.js"></script>
<script>
function myshow(form) {
alert("got here");
tmp = form.getElements();
out = '''';
for(i=0 ; i< tmp.length; i++){
out += tmp[i].name+" "+tmp[i].type+"\r\n";
}
alert(out);
myHead = document.getElementsByTagName(''head'');
alert(myHead[0].innerHTML);
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form>
test: <input name="atest"
type="text"></input><br />
<input type="button" name="submit" value="Submit
Form"
onClick="myshow(this.form);"></input>
<input type="reset" name="reset" value="Reset
Form"></input>
</form>
</body>
</html>
if anyone has any ideas why this is and what I can do about it please
let me know
thanks
s

Try tmp $(form).getElements(); instead; by wrapping from in the $ function, you''re "manually" extending it, which gives you access to all the Prototype goodness. :Dan Dorman --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Spinoffs" group.

Now Rob mentions it, i''ve been bitten by the ''submit'' before, took me over an hour to figure out why form.submit() wasnt working!
