After reading all the new posts in these two duplicate threads I thought it's time to end it (AKA ignore them) as there's nothing new to be said on this issue and people are just getting inflammatory. Anyway, in order to properly drop myself out of this discussion, I'll say it again, as people seem to have a very wrong impression about my posts in this thread: my post was neither "advocacy", nor any kind of project "in the works", it was merely a presentation of some _workaround_ for the problem raised by the starter of this thread. To summarize, the problem was that getElementsByTagName() cannot be reliably used on Gecko to get the list of elements in document's <head> while it is still "loading". (Please read Fred's posts to get a higher resolution picture). The workaround proposed by Martin Honnen ( https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=276037#c12 ) was to scan the partially loaded DOM. The performance drop should be quite light given the fact that "the DOM" is merely composed by a few elements (the ones already loaded in <head>) at the time this method is executed. As a side note, saying that getElementsByTagName can in fact be used _one time only_ it's not a valid argument, as one exception is already too much (as in "all tests successful" vs "failed 1 of99999 tests"). merry coding ;-) - -- Marius Feraru -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iD8DBQFFgQ2gtZHp/AYZiNkRAjfzAJ9FtNzUW+/s+ZGG+8iiggxVMQ5hvACfaUYO i+0uSS2GqZ0Kzo6R6cv+MJg= =8yWs -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Spinoffs" group.
