Question

I\'ve some javascript that tests DOM node types against like this:

Of course, it all works fi

Answer 1

Unfortunately you are not missing anything.

There is no Node constant in IE. Look here http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/xml/library/x-matters41.html at section "What else can you do with the DOM?".

So either you define your own Node constant or you simply ask for

node.nodeType === 3
