Question:
getElementById() works in IE but fails in Firefox - why?Answer:
If you have forgotten to add the element's name as an ID, then Internet Explorer will find it, if the name is given. |  | |
// Example: <input type=checkbox name=acl_type> // the following will work in IE, but not in FireFox var ctrl = document.getElementById('acl_type'); // define it like this and it will work both in IE and in FireFox <input type=checkbox name=acl_type id=acl_type> | ||

This is actually the way it's supposed to be. This can cause bugs otherwise. See
