Just spent more time than I should discovering a (possible) bug in
prototype's new Element and could not find it in a web search so
thought I'd log it here.
I have an object that stores the type of a pop-up (simplified):
this.attributes = {name: 'value', type: 'text'};
then uses the object to create a new element of the correct type:
new Element('input', this.attributes);
in IE7 (not Firefox) the name parameter is deleted so next time I call
new Element('input', this.attributes);
the input element does not have a name property.
I fixed it with a rather big kludge in the call to make a copy of the
attributes:
new Element('input', $H(op.attributes).clone().toObject());
The problem seems to be in prototype.js global.Element where the code says
if (HAS_EXTENDED_CREATE_ELEMENT_SYNTAX && attributes.name) {
tagName = '<' + tagName + ' name="' + attributes.name + '">';
delete attributes.name;
...
Hope this helps someone (or maybe someone else can suggest a better fix!).
cheers
Dave
