issues with getAttributes()

[daveyand]

Guys,

I'm having issues with getAttributes.

I have done the following.

attr_list = document.getEle mentById("image _id").getAttrib utes();

I want to be able to loop around the attributes within an image so that
i can see what is happening there.

At the moment FF is saying getAttributes() isnt a function.

Any help would be very much appreciated.

Where do you think is getAttributes defined as a method of elements in
the DOM? With JavaScript/ECMAScript there is a property named
|attributes| e.g.
var attr_list = document.getEle mentById('eleme ntid').attribut es;
but no method of the name |getAttributes| is defined, that only exists
in a Java binding of the W3C DOM.

Oops,

Sorry i knew there must be something stupid that i was doing wrong.

Thanks for pointing that out. Where's a good DOM resource, i was
blindly following the first one i came across when searching.

In my view the W3C DOM specification has everything needed, you just
need to understand how the ECMAScript binding looks. Thus with
<http://www.w3.org/TR/DOM-Level-2-Core/core.html#ID-1950641247>
stating that an element has e.g.
readonly attribute NamedNodeMap attributes;
that translates in JavaScript/ECMAScript into element objects having a
property named |attributes| accessed as e.g.
elementObject.a ttributes

That includes DOM 2 HTML and DOM 2 Core methods, and no
browser-specific extensions.
