[mochikit] Re: getNodeAttribute Doesn't Work In An OnFocus Handler
Just the usual tradeoff between cross browser support and performance.

I'm not entirely sure why it doesn't work.. but it's probably because you're going through the ancient form API rather than the DOM API.

Do you like it because it's slower and less direct? ;) -bob --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MochiKit group.
