Tom te tom te tomWhat is it you're trying to do by doing this? Are you trying to add text fields on demand on the client side with a button onclick event? Or just trying to produce elements dynamically using javascript? ] elem.attribute.type="text"; is more likely to read something like documnent.getAttribute("type", "text"); Again this depends one what you're trying to do.Without knowing anything about what you're trying to achieve, it's poor ux to have controls/widgets appear and disappear. Rather have them visible but disabled, and then dynamically enable them according to program logic, or else use some kind of workflow/wizard/tabs. Or, as so often, throw it away, start again, and use your second design -- it's almost always loads better.-- Phil Hudson http://hudson-it.no-ip.biz @UWascalWabbit PGP/GnuPG ID: 0x887DCA63
I was trying to do what the dom is (I believe) meant to do.On most browsers elem.attribute.type='text' == elem.attribute["type"]=text == elem.type="text" but not IE8 apparently.
As far as I can tell IE8 doesn't see 'type' as a valid attribute for input - which I beleive is wrong. I have got a work around to do what I wanted to (elem.type="text" IIRC) but proving IE8 is not dom compliant would be fun but I'm having trouble locating what might be the standard.
