ie-7-and-f

Folks,

Prototype 1.5.1 seams to have a problem with the $F() utility in IE 7

Code:

myElem = $(\\47citeForm\\47).getElements();

sBook = $F(myElem[0]);

sChap = $F(myElem[1]);

sVerse = $F(myElem[2]);

eBook = $F(myElem[3]);

eChap = $F(myElem[4]);
eVerse = $F(myElem[5]);

this code works in firefox2.0 but

returns:

I hate to add special browser code, Has anyone incluntered this problem and now did you solve it

Thanks

This is another example of the fuzzy name space separation in IE 7. It isn't the $F() that wasn't working but rather the fact that the function was using a name that was used in another function and the javascript engine confused the two. Firefox doesn't do that, solution define all vars inside a function

Have your set the ID attribute of the form elements? Might be that firefox automatically sets a random ID and IE doesnt, $F needs the id to be set otherwise throws that error.

Click on http://groups.google.com/group/rubyonrails-spinoffs/web/ie-7-and-f - or copy & paste it into your browser's address bar if that doesn't work.
