Question

Hi there...

How do I run through a page and get co-ordinates of different DIV's...
??
I'm thinking of using GetElementByID...
But I don't know what the ID's are, so how would I find out??

Is this even possible using javascript:?

Thanks

There is a DOM method called "getElementsByTagName()" that you can use to get an array of all the DIVs (or any other HTML tag) in a page.

Hi Gil,

Do you know where i may get a list of all javascript functions
that are true to javascript1.2?

Thanks

It doesn't cover JS 1.2, but the latest three versions (1.3 - 1.5) have documentation on Netscape Devedge (http://devedge.netscape.com/central/javascript/).

The JS 1.3 reference is at http://devedge.netscape.com/library/manuals/2000/javascript/1.3/reference/ . There is a section on what is new. So, what isn't new, is 1.2. ;-)

I can now get the properties of the div,
but i cant get the ID's name?

Any ideas?

Thanks

Hi!i cant get the ID's nameWhat do you mean? Do you want to get the id or the name?

You say you are able to get the properties of the div; originally you were asking for coordinates (style attributes?). If you manage to get these by looping through your array, you will have some code like:

var y = blahblah.style.top;

If you want to get the ids, you can use:

var divId = blahblah.id;

I figured it out about 2 mins ago:

tagName.getAttributeNode("ID").value;

Thanks for your thoughts...
