Re: DOM/javascript experienced programmer needed for simple task

ele = document.getElementById("YOURDIVNAME"); ancs = ele.getElementsByTagName("a"); for (a=0;a<ancs.length;a++){ document.write("anchor : "+ancs[a].name+"<br>"); } Think this should do it, but it will return all A tags (not just anchors) Mike At 13:34 14/01/2003 -0500, Greg Beaver wrote:

is it possible to get a list of anchors in the div if you know the ID of the DIV? Otherwise, I will have to create an extended class to use the phpedit template. Major pain.

I would name the div's similar to the anchors like this <div id="appleDIV"> <a name="appleANCHOR">Apples</a> </div> <div id="pearDIV"> <a name="pearANCHOR">Pears!</a> </div> then with js, just remove the ANCHOR and add DIV to get the layer name...

Zitat von Greg Beaver <greg@chiaraquartet.net>:

hi, We're using webfx.eae.net's tabpanes for the HTML:frames:phpedit

template

in phpDocumentor. Currently, if an anchor on an invisible tab is

referenced

by clicking an a href="doc.html#anchor" tag, the invisible tab will not display. I don't know anything about DOM manipulation and would love

it

if someone with a bit of knowledge could tell me how to get a list of anchors in a div element cross-browser IE 5.5+ NS 6.0+ DOM-compatible, and

from

there I'm fine because I can just retrieve the attribute once I've

found

the anchors. What I can't figure out is how to get the list, or the

anchor

(and how to tell which div it is in once I've found it). Selecting the tab will be easy, so the only stumbling block is finding which tab the anchor

(a

name=) is on.

getElementsByTagName() is what you are looking for:

It can be called on any object that implements the HTMLElement interface: var myDiv = document.getElementById('myDiv'); var myLinks = myDiv.getElementsByTagname('A'); Jan. -- http://www.horde.org - The Horde Project http://www.ammma.de - discover your knowledge http://www.tip4all.de - Deine private Tippgemeinschaft -- PEAR Development Mailing List (http://pear.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
