hasAttribute not working in IE

[kav123]

I am using hasAttribute method of DOM to search if a table has the 'class' attribute. It is working on Firefox, but does not work on IE 6 & 7.
Is there any other way of looking for attributes. Has anyone used jquery to look for a class in a table??

There is no [tt]hasAttribute[/tt] method in the IE DOM. If you want to check if a table has a class attribute you can simply check the value of [tt].className[/tt]

Ok, i have used className. It now does what it should do, however, i am getting an error on the browser the 'className' is null or not an object. My page may have tables which do not have any classes at all. Is it caused by that. I have used the attributes array but nothing seems to be setting it right.

Any ideas!!!!

var t=document.getElementsByTagName("table");

for (var i=0; i<=t.length; i++)
{
alert(
if(t.className=="striped")
{
stripeTable(t);
}
}

It is caused like you said because you don't have class names supplied to every table in your table object array. If you know which tables you have to check the className on, you can just specify those tables, or you can just assign a dummy class name to all the tables that don't yet have a class name and put no CSS in the class description, that should work.

Yes, but i have no control over the creation of tables, it is dynamically created from the backend. That should be it really, i will see what i can do. Thanks anyway.

Here is what I would do in your case then:

var t=document.getElementsByTagName("table");
    
    for (var i=0; i<=t.length; i++)
    {
        if(t[i].className && t[i].className=="striped")
        {
          stripeTable(t[i]);
        } 
    }

Oh and there is a syntax error in your code supplied above.
First try your old way without the 'alert(' in your code. If that doesn't work then try my code.
