Tobie, hello!
I use FF 2.0.x.x with Firebug on Win XP RU. I'm not sure if the latter
part matters, anyhow.
Just after I've upgraded to 1.5.1.1, all calls to $() function were as
if I just did document.getEl..tById(), not extended. And it was so
only in FireFox. However, in IE elements were extended fully.
So I noticed FireBug was giving me errors like ".up() method is null
or undefined" and ".addClassName method is null or undefined" (and
such).
Tracing back the callstack I figured, the Element.extend method was to
blame. There's an "if" statement (the second line):
if (!element || !element.tagName || element.nodeType == 3 ||
element._extended || F.SpecificElementExtensions || element ==
window) ...
And in my FF, F.SpecificElementExtensions always resolved to true,
while in IE - false. So, in FF, the element was returned back, having
no extended methods whatsoever. Really upset me.
I first checked your blog, then went here. Just to find that mild
solution to my problem by eliminating those niceties. I believe, this
describes my problems.
Oh, by the way, is the $$() function supposed to return unextended
elements?
Like, I happen to use $() so that this snippet would work (3rd line):
$$('.menuBar a').each(function(el) {
if (!window.location.href.endsWith(el.href)) return;
$(el).addClassName('selected').up(0).addClassName('selected');
throw $break;
});
Thanks!
Best regards,
Andrew Revinsky
