I completely dooced the onload. If you're using one of the infamous
addEvent methods, you could just do this:

addEvent(window,'load',insertSpan);

Would

window.onload = function(){if(document.getElementById) insertSpan();}

be a better alternative? I don't know much about this but that strikes
me as potentially separating content and behaviour a little bit
more...? (Heh, even if this is to achieve content... but it's a good
thing because it means less redundant code, I guess!)

Also

var util = document.getElementById('utilities');

should be

var util = document.getElementById('utility');

according to Peter's original markup. Just thought I'd point that out.

regards,

Josh

You mentioned that you wanted to be able to see it when you view the 
source - is that important? Because you wont *see* the span element but 
the browser will. (I imagine you are doing this for an image replacement

Then an intricate design comes along that requires an extra hook (a span

is it possible to use javascript (1) to insert a  tag inside each a
href "on the fly" so its not in the markup - but would be there if you were
able to view the rendered source? you know what i mean - dynamically
changing the dom... or something

can you tell i know nothing about javascript? :)

any help appreciated.

cheers, pete

(1) - of course, without javascript list items would still be accessible -
they just wouldnt have the nice design inticacies

[WSG] injecting an extra hook with javascript

2005-11-01 Thread Peter Ottery

-

and for one reason or another I *dont* have access to the html markup.
Then an intricate design comes along that requires an extra hook (a
span tag) to be inserted inside each  tag.
is it possible to use _javascript_ (1) to insert a  tag
inside each a href "on the fly" so its not in the markup - but would be
there if you were able to view the rendered source? you know what i
mean - dynamically changing the dom... or something

can you tell i know nothing about _javascript_? :)

any help appreciated.

cheers, pete
