Hi gang:
Sorry for the lame app, but the program worked for Safari (Mac and Win).
However, I did get it to work for FF and a couple of other browsers (Mac
and Win), see again:

But the critter is dead in the water for all versions of IE -- if -- I
don't figure out a way around the following single statement.
document.getElementById(id).checked = true;
Granted it's javascript, but all that line does is to set a checkbox
variable (id) to 'on'. Surely, $M code can do that, right?
After reading a bunch, it seems that M$ has a better way to do things
(big surprise there, huh?) and thus does not use the
document.getElementById(id) thing that everyone else in the world uses.
Instead, they use something "better" and it's not documented well as is
typical.
Unfortunately, I have not been able to find a M$ work-a-round.
So, what I need is:
if (document.getElementById)
{
document.getElementById(id).checked = true;
}
else
{
<<<<< inset solution here. >>>>>>
}
All the code has to do is to set a simple checkbox to 'on' in IE.
Anyone have any ideas?
Cheers,
tedd
PS: I'm going to post this on a js list as well.
PPS: You have to wonder how much more technically advanced we would be
if we weren't always held back by the "what's in it for me"
shortsightedness of M$.
What you talkin' bout?
Document.getElementById() works fine in IE5 and later.
There must be some other error.
You could check that document.getElementById(id) is actually returning something
- if it fails it returns null.
Maybe you have given your checkbox a name and not an id, although that should
fail with FF (and Safari) too...
It's fine on IE7 - anything older than IE7 is too broken to be usable, really. :)
