document.activeElement in IE

sajupauledayan

Hi,
Just wondering in renderer.pageButton, the document.activeElement can cause problems in IE(when using frames). Is there any solution/workaround for this?

thanks in advance.

Hi Edayan,

Ah, good old IE... DataTables handles this for the filtering input element, so it should also do so for the paging control. I've just committed a change which does this by putting the code in a try / catch block. Not ideal for accessibility, but then, neither are frames.

The nightly it building with the fix just now.

Thanks Allan,

Is there any way in which we could restore the accessibility too in IE. ('document.documentElement.activeElement' works on IE- but not is there any other side effects for this).

Thanks

Looks like it doesn't work in other browsers... Perhaps you could try var el = document.documentElement.activeElement || document.activeElement; in the code and see if that works for you?

How are you maintaining accessibility while using frames?
