Subject: [webkit-dev] issue: accessing DOM elements directly, without using getElementById() from inside javascripts


Hi All,
 
    In Gtk-Webkit browser,  we are facing issues with respect to accessing DOM elements directly, without using getElementById() from inside javascripts. We have many XHTML pages written already, without using getElementById() and all the pages are perfectly working fine in Opera. 
 
As “Chrome” is built using webkit, I tried testing the pages on ‘Chrome’. To my surprise, the same files worked fine in ‘Chrome’.
 
Then, I tried with Safari, (latest nightly updated), the behavior is same as Gtk-Webkit. It throws, “Can’t  find variable: DOM element name”
 
Have any of you faced such an issue?, Is there any fix for it?
As we can’t change the pages now, Is there any temporary hack?
 
Warm Regards,
Raghavendra
