[Xsltforms-support] Detecting and debug-logging of not-found elements by id

[Kostis A. <ank...@gm...>]

Hi Alain,

in rev397-398 you replaced the invocation of the $() function with
directly invoking the getElementById() function.

Why was this change necessary?

I ask about it because i had discovered a new usage for the $() function,
by customizing it to report any not-found elements,
with the following code:

function $(id) {
	// return document.getElementById(id);
	var el = document.getElementById(id);
	if (!el && DebugMode){DebugConsole.write("Failed to find ID("+id+")!");}
	return el;
}


This change had prooved to be very usefull when debuging xforms,
since XSLTForms does not explicitely detect and report all such errors,
and the subsequent re null-pointer errors do not report the id in question.

Is there any plan to reinstitute such a check?

Regards for your efforts,
