I am using prototype version 1.6.0.
Currently when updating typical (e.g. SPAN, DIV, TD, etc.) DOM
elements, a simple
$('div1').update('new text');
would update the text of the element. That's fine, but what about
images?
If I do that with an image tag, I would hope to be updating the src,
but it currently silently does nothing. No error; nothing.
Temporarily, I extended all images such that when update() is called
on them, I can pass a new src attribute and that will be set. Here's
what I did:
Element.addMethods
(
'IMG',
{
update: function(element, src)
{
element = $(element);
element.setAttribute('src', src);
return element;
}
}
);
$('img1').update('images/newImage1.gif');
By the way, I'm aware that another workaround would be to just
directly set the attribute of any image I want by
$('img1').setAttribute('src', 'images/newImage1.gif'');
but the point is to unify elements using the update function.
Is the original prototype update function doing it wrong for images?
If not, maybe this could be a new feature.
