firefox scripts array

[Bryan]

Hey if I have a script id is script1 and the src is test1.js in a html
page in firefox, how do I change that dynamically?

because script1.src = "test2.js"; ain't working.

script elements do not take id attribute

var collScriptEleme nts = document.getEle mentsByTagName( "script");

Not tested. Hey an url would have been useful.

They do in Valid XHTML 1.0

<http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/dtds.html#dtden try_xhtml1-strict.dtd_scri pt>
<http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/dtds.html#dtden try_xhtml1-transitional.dt d_script>

so you can use (mostly) standards compliant

var s = document.getEle mentById("scrip t_id");
if (s)
{
s.src = "...";
}

there. Whether using XHTML on the Web these days is a wise decision is
another matter, though: <http://www.hut.fi/u/hsivonen/xhtml-the-point>
