document.getElementById(id).getAttribute("value") on FireFox



The messaging feature of Where's Tim was not working in FireFox and Safari.

I changed my javascript code from:

var msg = document.getElementById(”txtMessage”).getAttribute(”value”);
var frm = document.getElementById(”txtFrom”).getAttribute(”value”);

To:

var msg = document.getElementById(”txtMessage”).value;
var frm = document.getElementById(”txtFrom”).value;

That seemed to be the fix for Firefox.  I admire you web developers, this is much less intuitive than fat client development :)

Hello,

I had similar problem when working with ajax and used following to resolve the issue:

var msg=document.getElementNodeById(”message”);
var frm=document.getElementNodeById(”from”);

Also make sure to remove any spaces between variable and dom object

you are missing the style attribute..

document.getElementById('<%=pan1.ClientID%>').style.height = 300;

I am having trouble with the getElementById in firefox. I am trying to grab all the form objects so i can run through and validate it.

Currently, I have:
var formObj = document.getElementById(formname);

It works great in IE, but on FF it craps out. I have tried this several different ways, but i refuses to grab all of the form elements.

you need to set the id attribute of the form tag to be [formname]

<form name="formname" id="formname"...

IE picks up on 'name' which is where the confusion lies...

I find it very handy to dynamically store information in HTML tags that describes it so my program can later pull it back out. This lets the server create the page, embed some details such as database ID numbers or other important information, then let JavaScript on the client access this hidden attribute information when creating dynamic URLs.

For example, the server might dynamically create a table with rows looking like this:

<TR ID=Row1 TICKET="65023"><TD>Support Ticket Information goes here...</TD></TR>

This might display 20 or 30 rows of information, with each row having a unique "TICKET" attribute which can be acquired with the getAttribute() JavaScript command. Then the JavaScript can create a dynamic URL based on the ticket number that the user chose (using other JavaScript).
