Javascript type change.

I am new to javascript and I tried to change the type of a input using js.My work works well with Firefox and Chrome but not with IE.IE javascript debug mode says:

Quote:

---

(SCRIPT256: Could not get the type property. This command is not supported. ).

---

This is the code I used to change the type.

Code:

---

var email_type=document.getElementById("email");
    email_type.type='text';

---

Please help me to debug this.
Thanx.

Hy,
I'm not shure if it works, but try anyway:

Code:

---

var email_type=document.getElementById("email");
email_type.setAttribute('type', 'text');

IE doesn't allow you to change the type attribute of input elements. Unfortunately it's not possible to do so directly because of this.

Workarounds always exist however....why not create a new input element with the new type attribute and replace the old input element with it when you need to?
