Hi Listizens,

I'm working on a project but am absolutely stymied and need outside help.  Both konqueror and firefox exhibit the same behavior so I don't think this is a browser bug.

I've checked the xhtml1-strict.dtd and it says that anchor tags support the core attributes which include "id"; however, the following html doesn't produce the expected results.

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.

Sorry for the OT/wrong forum post, but I find the collective knowledge of the fedora users to be one of the best out there... and the most helpful.

TIA,
Mike Wright :m)

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>
<p   id='p'></p>
<div id='v'></div>

<script type='text/_javascript_'><!--//
 var d = document;
 var m = d.getElementById('m');
 var a = d.getElementById('a');
 var p = d.getElementById('p');
 var v = d.getElementById('v');
 var b = '<br />';
 m.innerHTML = a+b+p+b+v+b;
//--></script>

</body>
</html>


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...
