I have a fragment of HTML that I am inserting into an UL using $
('element_id').insert().
var copy = '<li class="copy" id="' + elm.id + '-' + elm.copies +
'"><img src="Resources/drag.png" width="16" height="16" alt=""
class="handle" /> Caption: <input type="text" class="caption" value="'
+ elm.innerHTML + '" /> Start: <input type="text" class="timecode" />
Stop: <input type="text" class="timecode" /> <img src="icns/
comment_add.png" width="16" height="16" class="addCaption" alt=""
title="Add Caption" /> <img src="icns/delete_gray.png" class="remove"
width="16" height="16" alt="[x]" title="Remove" /></li>';
If I change this one part:
id="' + elm.id + '-' + elm.copies + '"
to
id="' + elm.id + '.' + elm.copies + '"
(creating an ID with a dot in it rather than a hyphen) then I get the
following error:
SYNTAX_ERR: DOM Exception 12
http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/prototype/1.6/prototype.js (line
2844)
...in Safari 3.2.1.
I have also tried creating the DOM element with new Element() syntax,
and have the same problem there. With the dash, it works fine.
This code works perfectly in Firefox 2 with either the dot or the
dash, haven't tested it elsewhere.
I though perhaps the dot was illegal in an ID, but I just looked it up
on W3, and it is allowed anywhere after the first character.
Can anyone suggest a reason why this is happening? Does anyone know
what a DOM Exception 12 might mean?
Thanks in advance,
Walter
