Re: hide() not working for me on IE

[T.J. Crowder]

Hi,

Which *part* doesn't work on IE? Hiding the uploading message, hiding
the whole thing when you click the link, or...?

A couple of things jumped out that may or may not be relevant:

1. I don't see that you're adding the link anywhere. You create it,
but don't add it to any element anywhere.

2. onclick handlers are quite old-fashioned. I'd suggest using
Element#observe[1] instead. Something like this:

function fileUploaded(id, filename) {
var uploadingMessage = $(id).select('span
[class~=uploadingmessage]')[0];
uploadingMessage.hide();

var a = new Element('a', {
'href' : "#alpha"
}).update("(alpha)");

a.observe('click', function(event) {
$(id).hide();
event.stop();
});
}

Again, though, you'll need to add the missing link (no pun) somewhere,
the above still doesn't have that (since I don't know where you want
to add it).

does $(id).select('span [class~=uploadingmessage]')[0] return an(extended)/
element correctly ?
