Document, getting an Element by its Name, not Id

Is it possible to get an Element from a Document object by its Name and not its Id. I know there's a getElementById() but there is no getElementsByName(), although there is a getElementsByTagName(), too bad that doesn't help me.

You can't because it's ambiguous. An element can only have one property with a given name, but (depending upon its spec) it can contain any number of elements with a given name.
Which is why there's only a method to return a list.
Why isn't that sufficient?

  • I have purchase iphone4 from someone,it is not factory unlock ,how can i get it factory unlock,its safari not working and its not showing drive on my computer

    i have purchase iphone4 from gray market,it is not factory unlock,how can i get it factory unlock,
    its safari not working and it is not showing drive in my computer.

    iPhones are sold in carrier-locked and unlocked versions. If the phone has a carrier lock on it, you must contact the carrier to have it removed (you probably need to bring the phone to the carrier for the process). If you don't know the carrier, you won't be able to get it unlocked. US carriers will not remove the carrier lock and it cannot be removed.
    How is Safari behaving that makes you say that Safari is not working? The lock status of the phone won't affect Safari, except that if the phone is locked and you aren't using the carrier (and SIM provided by the carrier) to which it is locked, then you can't use the phone or 3G service, only Wi-Fi.
    The iPhone should not appear as a drive on your computer, so there's no error there.

  • How to access an element using its name or id if it is not a class variable?

    I am trying to retrieve the element I added to my UI in a different  function. I am using actionscript 3. I know I can put the variable into a  class variable, so it can be access anywhere in the class, but I have  too many elements. Is there anyway I could access them without putting  them into class variable?
    Thanks.

    Hi Kartik,
    This one is similar to my question to print and email invoice at same time.  I pass itcpo-tdgetotf = 'X' in order to get otfdata and send email with the attachment of otfdata.
    Now I have data in otfdata, but when I call print_otf function, I clear out itcpo-tdgetotf, and passed
    itcpo-tddest = device_type but I still get error message said 'Handler not valid for open spool request'.
    Can you give me a working example that you have otfdata table and print data from that table.  I also post my question on other thread
    submit report and export to memory
    thanks

  • How to get the current node element by its value?

    e.g,:
    wdContext.current<b>Deal</b>Element().setAttributeValue("<i>deal_id</i>","<i>aaaaaaa</i>");
    above code can get the result i wanna.
    but now i wanna in terms of its node'name to  set attribute vaue of itself. in other words,i have no idea about how to get the current node element by its name"<b>Deal</b>".

    Hi Wing,
    The answer is there in your question itself.
    wdContext.currentDealElement()
    will give you the current node element by its name"Deal" or you could use
    wdContext.nodeDeal().getCurrentElement()
    or you could use
    wdContext.nodeDeal().getElementAt(wdContext.nodeDeal().getLeadSelection())

  • Error 32812 (Specified Tag Name not Defined) from FP Read

    I built an application using LabVIEW 7.1 and FieldPoint 4.1.  It
    performed well until about a week ago.  Suddenly, I started getting
    error 32812 (Specified Tag Name Not Defined) when doing an FP Read to
    read all the channels on an FP-RLY-420.  This is installed at a
    client's site, but my client assures me that nothing changed in the
    computer configuration.  There is a dual serial card installed (SIIG
    Cyberserial DualPCI dual 16550
    RS232 Serial I/O Card), which does seem to cause problems (mouse jumps
    erratically), and I wonder if this card could be contributing to the
    problem, but I'm not sure why I would get the specific error message
    I'm getting.
    In looking for info on the problem, I did find an article on
    registering the MIS files, but I have tried selecting "Find Devices"
    through MAX while logged on as an admin, and the error still occurs.
    If anyone has any ideas as to what could be causing the problem, it would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you,
    Jason

    Hello Jason,
    I think that the error you are seeing could be caused by either 1) a
    mismatch between the tag names saved on your computer and the actual
    channel names on the module, or 2) a problem with how the serial port
    is communicating with the module (only applies if you are using a
    serial communication module, as opposed to an Ethernet module). 
    For the first issue, you have already tried to reconcile any
    differences in tag names by reregistering the MIS files.  Since
    that didn't work, I would recommend trying to recreate your entire
    FieldPoint system in Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX),
    including the IAK file.  I know it is kind of extreme, but I would
    recommend just deleting your FieldPoint configuration in MAX, deleting
    the IAK file, and resetting the address and recreating your
    configuration. 
    I think that troubleshooting a serial communication problem could be a
    little more difficult.  I would recommend browsing through the
    following documents for some possible troubleshooting ideas.
    FieldPoint Serial Network Module Common Problems
    Let us know if this solves the problem or if you have any further question.

             for(int i=0;i<nl.getLength();i++){
                      Node n  = nl.item(i);
                     //System.out.println(n.getClass().getName()); 
                     //System.out.println((Element)n);
                     if(n instanceof Element){ // this checks for node type
                          count++;
                          System.out.println("Element "+(Element)n);
    SOLUTION 2: :
    XPath xpath  = XPathFactory.newInstance().newXPath();
             InputSource inputSource = new InputSource("test.xml");
             NodeList nodes = (NodeList) xpath.evaluate("//GenericDataSource/*", inputSource, XPathConstants.NODESET);

  • How to get selection screen elements and its table reference of a report ?

    halo experts
    How can I get selection screen elements and its table reference of a report ? . I tried rs_refresh_from_select_options. But I am unable to get the table and field it is referring to
    For eg if my selection screen 1000 is
    parameters: p_carrid type spfli-carrid,
    select-options :s-_connid type sflight-connid.
    is there any Fm or method which gives me what are the screen elements( p_carrid and s_connid ) and what table( splfi and sflight ) and field ( carrid and conid )it is referring to ?

    The following code is an example of how you might dynamically determine all your PARAMETERS and SELECT-OPTIONS variables at run time.  The PARAMETERS and SELECT-OPTIONS only point to a dictionary element--not a specific table.  Even though you may say "spfli-carrid" or "sflight-connid", the data type really references the dictionary type and not a specific table/structure.
    REPORT  ZTEST_PROG.
    TABLES sflight.
    DATA:
           screen_tab TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF screen,
           wa_screen TYPE screen,
           scrn_nm TYPE string,
           scrn_leftover TYPE string,
           l_type TYPE REF TO cl_abap_typedescr,
           typ_nm TYPE string,
           typ_pre TYPE string.
    FIELD-SYMBOLS <fs_data> TYPE ANY.
    PARAMETERS p_carrid TYPE spfli-carrid.
    SELECT-OPTIONS s_connid FOR sflight-connid.
    INITIALIZATION.
      LOOP AT SCREEN.
        IF screen-group3 = 'PAR'
          OR screen-group3 = 'LOW'.
            APPEND screen TO screen_tab.
        ENDIF.
      ENDLOOP.
    START-OF-SELECTION.
      LOOP AT screen_tab INTO wa_screen.
        ASSIGN (wa_screen-name) TO <fs_data>.
        l_type = cl_abap_typedescr=>describe_by_data( <fs_data> ).
        IF wa_screen-group3 = 'LOW'.
          SPLIT wa_screen-name AT '-' INTO scrn_nm scrn_leftover.
          TRANSLATE scrn_nm TO UPPER CASE.
        ELSE.
          scrn_nm = wa_screen-name.
        ENDIF.
        SPLIT l_type->absolute_name AT '=' INTO typ_pre typ_nm.
        WRITE:
                 / 'Screen Name:  ', scrn_nm,
                 / 'DDIC Type:    ', typ_nm.
      ENDLOOP.
    When you get into defining internal tables you can determine those at run time with cl_abap_structdescr.  The following is an example of how you might do that.  You can loop through the "components_table" and evaluate each field of the structure in this way.
    DATA: structure_reference TYPE REF TO cl_abap_structdescr,
          components_table TYPE abap_compdescr_tab,
          components_structure LIKE LINE OF components_table.
    structure_reference ?= cl_abap_structdescr=>describe_by_data( any_structure ).
    components_table = structure_reference->components.
    I don't know if this answers any of your questions but I hope that some of it is useful.
