The Expert Is WRONG about FRAME/Obj/Img

[QA]

http://www.quirksmode.org/js/iframe.html

says
document.getEle mentById('testi frame').src
and
frames['testiframe'].location.href
work for all

The exper is WRONG. here is my test:

//document.images['test'].src//workall
//document.getEle mentById('test' ).src//notworking in firefox/opera
//frames['test'].location.href//notworking in opera

so all browers can detect document.images
only IE can use getElementById
only IE and Firefox can only frames.

How is your testing case going? I am using IE6.0 Firefox 9.3 and Opera 7.45

Any idea of any UNIVERSAL OBJECT system in HTML

This isn't a testcase, you're not showing the relevant HTML code. In
fact I would almost certainly say you're doing

<img name= ...

as that would do exactualy what you describe, the problems you're
highlighting are differences in how name and ID are treated in those
UA's so the HTML is completely relevant.

you are so smart. I found the error myself. So getElementById is still THE
KING, working in all, when I use ID.
do you have any idea why http://www.quirksmode.org/js/iframe.html said ok
frames['test'].location.href for opera but mine is not working? even i
changed it to ID....

If you have
<iframe name="iframeNam e" src="whatever.h tml"></iframe>
then
window.frames.i frameName.locat ion.href = 'whatelse.html' ;
is giving the best cross browser results to change the document in the
iframe.

Only because your test browsers support getElementById and the HTML you
are using.
