Yes, you can do all of this. What @kangax is saying is that you can't extend the DOM *prototypes* in IE, so that all new elements that are created in the document, whether by setting innerHTML, or whatever, have some new method. Once you fetch an object from the DOM, you can add whatever you want to it, but it's just inconvenient to have to do it all the time manually. Prototype helps you out a lot, but there are cases when you just have to do it yourself.
And text property means that the key is text, not the value. You can make properties refer arbitrarily to other objects. -Fred On Wed, Jun 18, 2008 at 11:27 AM, EricGoogle <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I need to have complex state objects holding perhaps other objects - > not just text data - hence why setting a text property isn't quite > cutting it either. > > I'd really like to have some object references held in the state > properties for my custom Element object. > > ie.. myDivObject.objectReference = someOtherObject; etc... > > Will this work??? $(myElement).setProperty( 'objRef', > myObject ) ???? or does setProperty only take strings??? > -- Science answers questions; philosophy questions answers. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Spinoffs" group.
