I'm struggling with a really weird problem...
I have two pages (quite the sames) where I need to disable some selects. On one of them (say page A), I use getElementById to retrieve my element, and on the second one (say page B) I use getElementsById (with a 's') to retrieve it (and it works on both cases).
What is weird is that if I use getElementsById on page A (with the 's'), it gives me the error document.getElementsById is not a function, which is normal because this function (with the 's') normally doesn't exist. But I don't have this error on page B, and if I use getElementById (without the 's') on this page, it doesn't works !?!?
Can someone give me an explanation ? (I'll lose the few hairs left on my head if it continue ...)
Thanks in advance!
Ps: Sorry for my poor english!
Edit: Here is the code of my pages:
Page A:
function controleDelaiFranchise (casChoix){
var estAvecGarantie = <bean:write property=avecGarantie name=simulationAutonomeForm filter=false/>;
if(estAvecGarantie ==true){
if(casChoix == 'Emprunteur'){
document.getElementById(assDelaiFranchiseEmpr).disabled = false;
}
else {
if(casChoix == 'CoEmprunteur'){
document.getElementById(assDelaiFranchiseCoEmpr).disabled = false;
}
}
}
else{
if(casChoix == 'Emprunteur'){
document.getElementsById(assDelaiFranchiseEmpr).disabled = true;
}
else {
if(casChoix == 'CoEmprunteur'){
document.getElementById(assDelaiFranchiseCoEmpr).disabled = true;
}
}
}
Page B:
function controleDelaiFranchise (casChoix){
var estAvecGarantie = document.getElementsByName(estAvecGarantie)[0].value;
if(estAvecGarantie){
if(casChoix == 'Emprunteur'){
document.getElementsById(assDelaiFranchiseEmpr).disabled = false;
}
else {
if(casChoix == 'CoEmprunteur'){
document.getElementsById(assDelaiFranchiseCoEmpr).disabled = false;
}
}
} else {
if(casChoix == 'Emprunteur'){
document.getElementsById(assDelaiFranchiseEmpr).disabled = true;
}
else {
if(casChoix == 'CoEmprunteur'){
document.getElementsById(assDelaiFranchiseCoEmpr).disabled = true;
}
}
}
}
Edit 2:
Ok so when it was not working on page B (without 's') I had
var estAvecGarantie = document.getElementsByName(estAvecGarantie)[0].value;
if(estAvecGarantie){ ... }
I replace it with
var estAvecGarantie = document.getElementsByName(estAvecGarantie)[0].value;
if(estAvecGarantie == true) { ... }
and now it works using getElementById without the 's'
But I still don't understand why it's still working with this damn 's' ... So my problem is solved (ish), but still, if someone have an explanation for why can I used getElementsbyId() even if the function doesn't exist (and specifically on one page only), I'm all ears because I hate when I don't understand ...
