Assigning document.getElementById to another function
- by Andreas Grech
I am trying to do the following in JavaScript:
var gete = document.getElementById;
But I am getting the following error (From FireBug's Console):
uncaught exception: [Exception... "Illegal operation on WrappedNative prototype object" nsresult: "0x8057000c (NS_ERROR_XPC_BAD_OP_ON_WN_PROTO)" location: "JS frame :: http://localhost:8080/im_ass1/ :: anonymous :: line 15" data: no]
Now obviously I can wrap the function as follows:
var gete = function (id) {
return document.getElementById(id);
};
But what is the reason I'm getting the above exception when assigning the function to another name?
