looking for ID of element

[dennismonsewicz]

In mootools... is there a way to search the page for a particular ID of an element? So if it finds this ID then do something?

[Floydian]

var someElement = document.getElementById('id_to_look_for');

if (someElement) {
alert('element found');
} else {
alert('element not found');
}

 

Yes, that isn't a mooway to do it, but it's basic javascript. I'm sure the mootools docs have their own method of doing this documented, if they have implemented something for this. I'm not a mooguy, so I couldn't tell ya.

 

Hope that helps...
