I don't know if anyone has encountered this problem before, but I was reading nodes from an XML document (ajax response) and I tried the Element.readAttribute function instead of my own home brewed algorithm. (This Web application goes all the way from before there was such function in the Prototype library...) Anyway, firefox didn't complain, but IE seemed to do so. Here's what I did to resolve this issue :
readAttribute: function(element, name) { //element = $(element); // IE doesn't like this line (is it really necessary ?) if (Prototype.Browser.IE) { // XML nodes in IE has an array name attributes. Each index // is an object { name: [string], value: [mixed], ... } if ( element.attributes && element.attributes.length ) { // I'm sure some might find a better way to do this, but it works for now.... var attribute = $A(element.attributes).find(function(attribute) {return attribute.name==name; }); // if we do not return here, we might throw an exception, so rather return null if not found return attribute ? attribute.value : null; } var t = Element._attributeTranslations.read; if (t.values[name]) return t.values[name](element, name); if (t.names[name]) name = t.names[name]; if (name.include(':')) { return (!element.attributes || !element.attributes[name]) ? null : element.attributes[name].value; } } return element.getAttribute(name); }, I'm sorry I'm not the best guy to provide more test with this matter, but I'm pretty sure some of you already have the proper setup to do them. So I'm leaving this into your more capable hands.
