child nodes array problem in IE7/8

[Hiren Dave]

Hello,

I am facing a strange problem. I have written following code.

el.parentNode.p arentNode.child Nodes[1].style.color="w hite";

In FireFox and Chrome it works but in IE it gives me following error.

childNodes.1.st yle is null

I really don't know what is the reason for this error.Can someone please tell me the reason.

Thanks in advance for help.

Regards,
Hiren Dave

standard compliant browsers treat whitespace between tags as a child node (according to the DOM), while IE only counts the element nodes.

Ex

<parent>
<child/>
</parent>

are 1 child node in IE and 3 child nodes [text node (line break), element node, text node (line break)] in all others.
