.sourceIndex in FireFox doesn't work

[davikokar]

Hallo,

I have this code that works well in IE but not in FireFox:

hmnode = document.getElementById('HouseMenuNavCurrentItem').sourceIndex;

I don't know if there is a way to obtain the same in FF. Does someone knows?
Thanks

Hi

And what kind of element is the one with [tt]id[/tt] HouseMenuNavCurrentItem ? Could we see your HTML document ?

the html is a unordered list:

<ul id="HouseMenuNav">
<li id="HouseMenuNavItem59"><a id="HouseMenuNavLink59" href="[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.brunnerinvest.ch/HomeDE/Produkte/tabid/59/Default.aspx"[/URL] title="Produkte" tabindex="1">Produkte</a>

Hi

Well, some STFW revealed that [tt]sourceIndex[/tt] is another Explorer invention. If you want something similar in other browsers, just set it yourself :

window.onload=[b]function[/b]() {
  [b]var[/b] e=document.getElementsByTagName([i]'*'[/i])
  [b]for[/b] ([b]var[/b] i=0,l=e.length;i<l;i++) e[i].sourceIndex=i
}

Personally, I would rewrite my code to not use proprietary things.
