I have the following HTML page:
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript" src="JavaScript/Menu.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<ul>
<li><a onclick="GetIndex(this)">One</a></li>
<li><a onclick="GetIndex(this)">Two</a></li>
<li><a onclick="GetIndex(this)">Three</a></li>
<li><a onclick="GetIndex(this)">Four</a></li>
</ul>
</body>
</html>
And the Menu.js javascript:
function GetIndex(sender)
{
var aElements = sender.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName("a");
var aElementsLength = aElements.length;
var index;
for (var i = 0; i < aElementsLength; i++)
{
if (aElements[i] == sender) //this condition is never true
{
index = i;
return index;
}
}
}
Why is the commented condition never met? How do I compare if the two HTML elements are equal in Javascript? Thanks for all the help.
