Are there any javascript/DOM gurus out there who can tell me why the html
page below finds the <p> tag and the <div> tag but ignores the <a> tag.
Below is the html being tested.

will it's simple ,
what do you want to get from the getElementById('')?
I mean if you're trying to know what kind of element is it, just to process
it in some how, then you will not get a result from just using the
getElemntByid thing for example:
d.getElementById('p');
will return in Firefox: [object HTMLParagraphElement]
in IE Mac: [object P]
why don't you just specify what you want to get back from it let's say you
may use:
var a = d.getElementById('a').innerText;
by the way adding href="" to the anchor tag will let var a =
d.getElementById('a'); return the href it self, if you still need an output
that looks like:
[object HTMLanchorElement]
tell me and will find a work around for you...
Thanks for your generous offer, Bassel.
I need the node so I can use "nextSibling".
What I'm trying to accomplish is to "display:none" or "display:block"
the following element whenever the <a> is onclicked.
As you pointed out "document.getElementById()" returns not the id, but
the href. (That really puzzles me and differs from the O'Reilly books
on Javascript and Dynamic HTML).
Is this a known bug? If it is I will have to wrap my tags in such a way
that I can find the other node relative to it some other way.
If you have ideas I'm eager and open eared :)
