FireFox assigning DOM nodes to var 1

[stormbind]

This is working in Chrome, Opera and IE.

Can you please help to fix it in FF?

var els = document.getElementsByClassName('myClass');
 for (var i=0; i<els.length; ++i){
       var node = els[i];
       // FF falls here with TypeDefError:node is undefined
 
                 while (node.tagName.toUpperCase() != 'BODY') {
                       elLeft += node.offsetLeft;
                       elTop += node.offsetTop;
                       node = node.parentElement;
                   }
 }

The following shows the same issue. FF doesn't seem to like assigning DOM objects, but maybe its something else?

while (els[i].tagName.toUpperCase() != 'BODY') {
          elLeft += els[i].offsetLeft; // FF OK here
          elTop += els[i].offsetTop; // Still OK
          els[i] = els[i].parentElement; // FF falls here, TypeDefError
}

Hi

What is parentElement and where it is defined ?

Maybe try the DOM standard [tt]parentNode[/tt] instead.
