Hi,
Can anyone point me to a good source that explains Firefox's problem
handling of setAttribute? I keep running into problems and would like to
take the time to understand what's going on.
Right now, I have this:
<code>
var slide = document.createElement("img");
slide.setAttribute("src","images/image.gif");
slide.setAttribute("alt","this is alt text");
slide.setAttribute("id","slide");
document.appendChild(slide);
</code>
The image element is placed and has an id and alt text attributes, but
no src.
If I try:
<code>
slide.src = "images/image.gif";
</code>
I get the same thing--no image, but id and alt text.
Both techniques work in IE and Opera so I'm pretty sure this is a FF
peculiarity.
I'll take all the help I can get on this.
Thanks in advance,
