[WSG] DOM setAttribute in IE?
Here's a function:
function helpLinks()
{
if(!document.getElementsByTagName) return;
var anchors = document.getElementsByTagName(a);
for (var i=0; ianchors.length; i++)
{
var anchor = anchors[i];
if (anchor.getAttribute(href) anchor.getAttribute(rel) ==
help)
{
anchor.setAttribute(
onclick,window.open(this.href,'popupwindow','width=400,height=400,scr
ollbars,resizable'); return false;,0);
}
}
}
It works perfectly well in everything I can get my hands on except for
IE, where it fails to set the onclick event to all A elements with a
rel attribute of 'help'.
Changing anchor.setAttribute(...) to
anchor.setAttribute('target','_blank',0); DOES work (the link opens in
a new window), so it would appear that IE doesn't like setting onlick
attributes this way.
Can anyone either:
- suggest an alternate way to achieve this, or
- suggest a good mailing list to seek further help on (like a DOM list)

RE: [WSG] DOM setAttribute in IE?
You can use attachEvent method for this. But it's supported by Internet
Explorer 6 only.

Re: [WSG] DOM setAttribute in IE?
Hi Justin,
You can also use the simpler event model and add the event as follows:
anchor.onclick = function(){
alert('anchor with rel clicked');
}
This works in both IE and Mozilla.
For more info on events in javascript the best resource I've found is
http://www.quirksmode.org
Cheers,
Mark

RE: [WSG] DOM setAttribute in IE?
IE does not like setAttribute onClick.
I had a similar problem recently.
I solved it by using the correct method first (as yours) then adding a function to
deal with IE after it.
function onclickIE(idAttr,handler,call){
if ((document.all)(document.getElementById)){idAttr[handler]=new
Function(call)}
}
Hope that helps

RE: [WSG] DOM setAttribute in IE?
I'd suggest using Scott Andrews' addEvent helper function
(see http://www.scottandrew.com/weblog/articles/cbs-events)
function addEvent(obj, evType, fn, useCapture){
if (obj.addEventListener){
obj.addEventListener(evType, fn, useCapture);
return true;
} else if (obj.attachEvent){
var r = obj.attachEvent(on+evType, fn);
return r;
} else {
alert(Handler could not be attached);
}
}
This has worked for me quite consistently in the past.

Re: [WSG] DOM setAttribute in IE?
Also, if you assign the event using the way below (detailed by Mark) the keyword
this would refer to the link so you could do this:
anchor.onclick = function(){
window.open(this.href,'popupwindow','width=400,height=400,scrollbars=1,resizable=1');
return false;
}
rather than using event.srcElement to get the href. DO NOT USE attachEvent
unless you only intend this event to occur for IE. It's non-standard - we
should be working to get rid of non-standard JavaScript as well as HTML and
CSS. Finally, theres no need to use setAttribute(). The better way is to
reference the property directly as each link is also a Link object that makes
these properties available. It's simpler and more reliable cross browser.
Here's how Id rewrite it:
script type=text/javascript
var anchors = document.getElementsByTagName('a');
for (var i=0; ianchors.length; i++) {
if (anchors[i].rel == 'help') anchors[i].onclick =
function(){
window.open(this.href,'popupwindow','width=400,height=400,scrollbars=1,resizable=1');
return false;
};
}
/script
I think now we've established standards and good practice for HTML and CSS, DOM
scripting is still overlooked. PPK has established some pretty good practices
but we need to go further. If anyone else has an interest in this get in
contact as I'd like to take it forward in some way.

[WSG] cutoff bug in Safari?
Hi guys, I'm seeing a problem in Safari (1.2.3) - the kind of thing I would expect from IE :) The footer of my template isn't displaying. On long pages, the bottom of the text is cut off too - halfway through a line in fact. The scrollbar just won't go any further, and selecting the text and trying to drag down doesn't work either. The layout is a simple single column fixed width affair using absolute positioning to stuff the main navigation and masthead fluff down the bottom, out of the way of search engines. I've cut everything right down to the basics but I still can't see it, and Google is not being helpful. Has anyone seen anything like this before? http://203.59.70.252/wsg/ Thanks for any advice or pointers! -- Kay Smoljak http://kay.smoljak.com/ ** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ Proud presenters of Web Essentials 04 http://we04.com/ Web standards, accessibility, inspiration, knowledge To be held in Sydney, September 30 and October 1, 2004 See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list getting help **
[WSG] Unaccessible - NY Attorney General busts two big name sites
19 Aug 2004 - The Attorney General of New York has deemed parts of Ramada.com and Priceline.com inaccessible to assistive technology. The Attorney General opined that the Americans With Disabilities Act requires that private web sites be accessible to blind and visually impaired Internet users. Settlements reached will attempt to make both sites more accessible. Under the terms of the agreements, the companies will implement a range of accessibility standards authored by the Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI) of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), an organization that recommends Internet standards. The companies must also implement a wide variety of other initiatives, based on guidelines authored by the W3C. In addition to the steps outline above, Ramada.com and Priceline.com will pay the State of New York $40,000 and $37,500, respectively, as costs of the investigation. The Attorney General emphasized that once the companies were notified of the accessibility issues by his office, they worked cooperatively and creatively with his Internet Bureau to correct the issues.
