again, more IE headaches...

monty · 05-23-2006, 03:29 AM

Damn, I hate this shitty software more everyday, pardon my French.

My issue is the next JavaScript function:

function menuHomeSwitch() {

????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/programming/200191-again-more-ie-headaches.html
//set all items to #B5C4DD for background color
var temp = document.getElementsByName('nav')

for (var x = 0; x<temp.length; x++) {

temp[x].style.background = '#B5C4DD'
}
}

I have an serie of <td> tags with the name 'nav', and like the function shows, all I need to do is set the background colors to a different color. According to the DOM level 1 specification, this should work and it does so in all browsers, ACCEPT IE ofcourse.

Any suggestions before I kill myself?

tnx much!

why don't you use CSS instead ?

style.background-color='#whatever';

document.getElementsByName('nav').style.background = '#B5C4DD';

It'd be easier to use a class and some CSS.

So, I tried this, I changed the function to:
????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=200191

function menuHomeSwitch() {

//set all items to #B5C4DD for background color
document.getElementsByName('nav').style.background = '#B5C4DD'
}

And set the <td> tags class attribute to "nav", but still no joy, this doesn't in other browsers as well. Now, I didn't get much sleep last, so am I missing something here?
