Re: how to make IE show client side JavaScript output?

fantastic - thank you *very much*. I'd sort of found a workaround using MS's wed developer accessories for IE (select the right area the page and right click to 'view partial source') which helped but was kinda tricky. This is perfect, however. You are the man! No thanks whatsoever to all the people on this ng and macromedia.dreamweaver who have been sending stupid and pointless emails saying how stupid I am for wanting to do this, and how NS was broken and IE was working etc etc.... -- Moloko 'When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro' - Dr Gonzo 'God saves, but Buddha makes incremental backups' GCM/CS/IT/MC d-- S++:- a-- C++ U--- P+ L !E W+++$ N+ K+ w+++$ M+ PS+++ PE- PGP- t+ 5- X-- R* tv++ b+++ DI++++ D G e h-- r++ y++ "_lallous" <elias_bachaalany@yahoo.com> wrote in message news:20011105074621.12540.qmail@pb1.pair.com... > this code will help you out: > > <body id='body' onload='alert(document.all.body.outerHTML);'> > <script language="JavaScript"> > <!-- > for (i=0;i<10;i++) > document.write(i + '<br>'); > file://--> > </script> > </body> > > it will show you the new produced HTML code in addition to your javascript > code. > > "Moloko" <moloko@witty.com> wrote in message > news:20011102122317.2417.qmail@pb1.pair.com... > > interesting one here for y'all > > > > if you use client side JavaScript to write HTML to the browser, eg > > <script language="JavaScript" > > document.write ('<b>Hello world!</b>'); > > </script> > > then look at the page source from IE, the page source will show you > exactly > > what I've typed above, whereas if you view the page source from Netscape > > 4.7, it shows this in the source: > > <b>Hello world!</b> > > (this is the way I ewould expect and want it work) > > > > Unfortunately the (rather complex) script I'm writing does completely > > different stuff in Netscrape so looking at the page source thru there to > see > > what's going on is hopeless - is there any way to make IE behave like NS > in > > this respect and actually show the correct JavaScript output, rather than > > the JavaScript code itself?? > > > > Cannot believe that NS4.7 is actually better at doing something than IE!!! > > > > -- > > Moloko > > 'When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro' - Dr Gonzo > > GCM/CS/IT/MC d-- S++:- a-- C++ U--- P+ L !E W+++$ N+ K+ w+++$ M+ PS+++ PE- > > PGP- t+ 5- X-- R* tv++ b+++ DI++++ D G e h-- r++ y++ > > > > > >
