[Javascript] dom/javascript question regarding Internet Explorer

[Lee Bettridge]

Yep, that would have been useful info wouldn't it :-) my mistake.

 

It fails on this line

 

var str_title = title.firstChild.data;  (error = Object Required)

Hi Lee,

    In cases like this, I always ask "what part doesn't work?" since the
point of failure will usually help you (or us) to isolate the difference
between the browsers.  Can you get a bit more data on which line it is
at which things go wrong?  An error message would be one way to identify
this point; another would be a debugger (you can download the IE Script
Debugger from MS though it doesn't always help), and a third would be
the old-fashioned brute-force method of using alert, window.status, or
document.write to show what data you have so far.

Cheers,

Peter

I want to copy the contents of the tag in an html
document and write this elsewhere in the doc when it loads.
The following works in Firefox but not in ie, could anyone point out why
and maybe suggest an alternative please.


HTML

"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">















JAVASCRIPT

var title = document.getElementsByTagName("TITLE").item(0);
var str_title = title.firstChild.data;

var obj = document.getElementById("document_header");
while(obj.hasChildNodes()) obj.removeChild(obj.childNodes[0]);
obj.appendChild(document.createTextNode(str_title));
