Comment on Safari-Bug or Not? DOM Exception 7 by Dwight Vietzke

Hi all,

The problem sometimes, as eluded to above, is that you can’t modify elements with .innerHTML or use other element modification methods (document.write() I think) when the page is served as XML. That is content-type ‘application/xhtml+xml’. This is true for many browsers (all?), including Chrome that can read true XML pages. So pages served as XML will error on .innerHTML, unless you create the element in javascript, append it the the document and then use .innerHTML. Why it works for added elements and not existing ones is beyond me, but oh well.

Otherwise the problem might just be as stated, that you are trying to modify something that doesn’t (clearly) exist yet, is considered ‘read only’ or something.

So what to do it the first case of an XML page?

I found this on the web:

BetterInnerHTML v1.2, (C) OptimalWorks.net

Just google the above for the latest version of their .innerHTML replacement code. Works great for me, although I did modify it for may own purposes (made a Dojo style module of it). It uses simple DOM munipulation to accomplish the same thing as .innerHTML.

Hope that helps others who follow this error.

Damn thank you. I’ve searched for several hours placing same images for different languages. Now I’ve found your post … it saved me for some ugly workarounds and editors still can upload new images. Thank you.

For dynamic CSS you can use “innerText” property of STYLE tag object. It works without any errors.

Thanks this was very helpful. Stumbled.

Now for my question its more of a workflow or best practices question. supposed you have a lot of exposition already written in the native tongue and stored in static html files.

for i18n the objective is to have
translate(_(‘About Us Para I’)); ?> in the presentation template where formerly a big paragraph was and move the big paragraph into the catalog.

What is the best practice to make it easy for the developer to do this. Here is my stab.

I’m inserting a line of code like the above in the templates, before each text item I want to translate. Then I update the catalog so it will extract and merge all the new keys. then using the source file to cut the original text out of the templates and paste it nto the catalog. When I give it to a translator I will have to give him the native language catalog and he will have 2 poedits open at once so he can see what the actual text is that he is suppose to translate. Does this make sense or is there an easier way?
