This is a test also. I expected more traffic adn I've got none since I
signed up mid-morning.
The reason I joined is two fold. First I'm getting ready to write a
serious bit of Javascript for some specialized form validation.
Currently I use fValidate for most of it but Peter seems to have fallen
off the face of the earth.
Secondly is an issue that a friend mentioned he found that only happens
with IE ( go figure eh :-) and we can't find any mention of when
searching with google.
The short story is: When a name attribute exists with the same value as
a id attribute in a document and comes first in the DOM; Internet
Explorer returns the element with the name instead of element with the
id when getElementById is used.
A simple and lame example:
<html>
<head>
...
</head>
<body>
...
<div name="testing">
...
</div>
...
...
<input type="text" id="testing" />
...
</body>
</html>
The div gets returned.
I have yet to test this but I trust my friend's programming skills.
Anyone else seen this?
