Are there any javascript/DOM gurus out there who can tell me why the
html page below does not behave as expected?
Below is the html being tested.
=====================
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<!DOCTYPE html
PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd";>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"; xml:lang="en" lang="en">
<head><title>Javascript DOM Experiments</title></head>
<body>
<p id='m'></p>
<a id='a'></a>
<script type='text/javascript'><!--//
var d = document;
var m = d.getElementById('m');
var a = d.getElementById('a');
var a = d.getElementById('a').getAttribute('id');
gives me the 'id'. From there I can create the 'id' of the desired tag,
which solves my immediate problem.
I'm still curious as to why the <a> behaves differently???
m.innerHTML = a;
//--></script>
</body>
</html>
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".
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).
