Google Chrome Issue

[Zurompeta]

Within a function, I am creating a new variable that contains an HTML element. The variable declaration works fine in Firefox for example, however it comes up "undefined" in Google Chrome.

function updateName(num)
{
	name = document.getElementById("id_name_"+num);
}

Hard to see why Chrome should not handle this. You could try changing the id's prefix, eg:

function updateName(num)
{
  name = document.getElementById("myRef_"+num);
}

The variable should also be localised:

function updateName(num)
{
  var name = document.getElementById("myRef_"+num);
}

otherwise a global variable is created. Do this instead:

function updateName(num)
{
  return document.getElementById("myRef_"+num);
}

and use the returned value wherever it is needed, or store it non-globally.

It is bad practise to pass data via the global namespace, though this does not explain the difference between Chrome and other browsers.

It has been reported several times that Google Chrome has some issues with Javascript...
I don`t any too much javascript so I am not able to say for sure...but the browser could be the problem...

It turns out I noobed out lol.

"name" and "class" are reserved names that apparently Firefox doesn't mind but Chrome didn't like.

Thanks for all your input (and the tips Airshow) :)
