Praveen: Instead of using setAttribute you can use the relevant DOM properties.

textbox = document.createElement(’input’);
textbox.name = ‘name’;
textbox.id = ‘name’;
textbox.onclick = somefun;

This is also a lot more readable.

Hi ,
In IE 6 and IE 7, I am facing one problem.
One example i will explain.
I created one text through
textbox = document.createElement(”input”);
textbox.setAttribute(”name”,”name”);
textbox.setAttribute(”id”,”name”);

It will work fine.
But if added the following attribute it will affect.
textbox.setAttribute(”onclick”,”somefun()”);

But in Firefox it will work fine.

Is there any solution? I don’t want to go for innerHTML.
Please let me know if anybody is having ideas about this.
Please let me know if innerHTML is the only solution to this.
It will save my time.
Thanks in advance.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

@BatMan: No, there was no list, hence the purpose of the post. It was merely to indicate that NO FEATURES or BUGS were added or fixed in IE7 in terms of JavaScript.

Sad, but very true.

(note some performance changes were made (e.g. mem leak fixes))

Could some one help me find the list of changes in IE6 and IE7. In the original post, the list is empty, I assume this has been removed or truncated. Greatly appreciate if some one send the link to me again.

Well, this list has dashed my hope of seeing a DOM issue addressed that has been a major pain in my side for 2 years now

In trying to create a “map” to an element in a page (parsing all the parent nodes and their position in their childnodes collections intil I reach the body tag), then being able to return to that element by starting at the body and navigating down the tree to the element I want.

Should be very scientific and consistant, but no. When traversing up from the element, depending on how the html was formed sometimes the elements report the wrong parent element :O

Isn”t that a wonderful thing :S
