Hello again from the CF5 programmer trying to catch up. I always used to write for Internet Explorer, and did so again after my return to programming a few months ago, resulting in what is by now a rather complex site. Many CF (and other internet-based) programmers have told me since then that I should have written for Firefox, and I now wish I had, because of it's debugging abilities. But...
How easy will it be to convert my existing code to run on Firefox? Specifically, there are three functions I'm making heavy use of: 1. getElementById 2. parentElement 3. children[] According to my latest DOM book (O'Reilly, published 1998 - yes, I know I need a new one) none of these exists in Netscape (same as Firefox, right?). And sure enough I get error messages at least with the first one (I never get past there to the others). So my question is: What is the Firefox way to do each of them? (According to my O'Reilly book, document.all[] doesn't exist in Netscape, either.) One catch is: I would very much like to avoid giving unique names to everything, for two reasons: 1. There are lots and lots of them. This is a roll-my-own HIERARCHICAL grid of sorts with buttons to insert and delete new rows on both of two levels. 2. All my update code makes heavy use of the fact that, when items in a form have the same name (as they do in each successive row in my grid), CF sends up the values as a comma-delimited list of values which I then loop through. Any ideas?
