Finally! I thank God for you!

Though – I experienced the same problem getting the title-attribute from an option-element. And as far as I’m concerned I have no ‘title’ element wrapped inside the option-dito…

Anyhoo – thank you for this sweet solution!
(Yet ‘everybody’ ‘should’ know that you should revert to core js when the moo fails… OR perhaps more correctly put: when IE f*cks w/ you)
IE6789 – die.

Thanks for the suggestion.It helped me a lot!!
There is one more problem I am facing.
I have an Image in Div tag and in javascript I want to get the coordinates of the image relative to div
I am using MooTools(1.2.3) Library
The code is working in ff and crome but not in IE

The Error is at the below line
InputTopID.setAttribute(‘value’,ImgID.getCoordinates(DivID).top);

where ImdID is image.
DivID is Div(100px by 100px)
InputTopID is a Hidden field.

getCoordinates method does not work with ImgID
Can anyone help?

Just before I was ready to grab a rock and smash my machine into 100,000 little tiny pieces, I found your post…

I love it when sh*t like that happens.

GREAT POST!

@Rhys Burnie:
I came across this problem while trying to display a password input’s default value as text to inform the visitor where to type their password, like “Type Password Here”. With Javascript available, I could easily switch the input from text to password once the visitor began typing.

Like you said, this occured because of IE’s security “feature”. Switching a password inputs type from “password” to anything else will be denied. The error you experienced only appeared through MooTools because a function executed by the .set() method most likely returned an unexpected value.

To get around this you can use my Text Overlay Class or MooTools-More 1.2.3.1 OverText Class. Mine was inspired by MooTools-More’s version, just lighter weight.
