I'm new at this stuff -- so this is probably an incredibly dopey, newby
question. Please bear with me. I don't know if it's a HTML or javascript
question. (Or, if a different area altogether, please steer me to the right
group.)
I can view the members of the "window" object with the following javascript.
It returns all the methods, properties, events, etc.
<script type="text/javascript">
for(i in window)
{
window.document.write(i + "<br />");
}
</script>
I can do the same thing for the "document" object by changing the expression
to read...
<script type="text/javascript">
for(i in window.document)
{
window.document.write(i + "<br />");
}
</script>
And then I can check out an individual property, (example "protocol"), with
the following. It returns "HyperText Transfer Protocol".
<script type="text/javascript">
window.document.write(window.document.protocol);
</script>
So far, so good....
But -- I can't find a way to address the "html" or the "head" objects. I
know they're HTML elements, (<html>, <head>), but they also exist as objects
because I see on reference sites that they have methods, properties, events,
etc. So they've got to be child objects of some other object higher in the
hierarchy. Right? And there has to be some way to address them. Right?
For instance -- on the MSDN site, the docs say that the "innerText" property
of the "html" object, "Sets or retrieves the text between the start and end
tags of the object." OK -- using javascript, how do I "set" or "retrieve"
that property?
"window.html.innerText" doesn't work. Neither does
"window.document.hml.innerText". Is there an object higher than the window
object that "html" object is a child of?
Any help greatly appreciated. I've been staring at this *^#(%^ monitor for
about 8 hours now and my eyeballs are aching.
