[RESOLVED] problem adding elements to opened window in internet explorer

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Oct 23.2006

Hello,

i’ll first give you the problem:

[code=php]
function test(){
KM=window.open();
submit=document.createElement(“input”);
with(submit){
type=”button”;
value=”test”;
}
KM.document.body.appendChild(submit);
}
[/code]

this works fine in Firefox but internet explorer has a problem with “KM.document.body.appendChild()”,

i receive the error: “No such interface supported”.

Is there someone who had also the same problem, or someone who knows a workaround?

Thank you very much

@mudeltaauthorOct 23.2006 — the problem is resolved, for those who are interested in the solution:

apparently in Internet Explorer you can't transfer a element that's created in one window to another window.

so here's the working code:

[code=php]
function test(){
testwindow=window.open();
tester=testwindow.document.createElement("input"); //veranderd
with(tester){
type="button";
value="test";
}
testwindow.document.body.appendChild(tester);
}
[/code]

Success!
