trim is not a function error
javascript, mootools, trim
Solution
I found the solution myself, but Thanks a lot for everyone who tried to help. The answer was simple to what I thought.
All I had to do is changing the
$(
To
document.id(
I did that for all `$(` in the script
And the script started working again.
Problem
I recently get this error and not sure how to resolve it... ``` TypeError: $(...).get(...).trim is not a function ``` The script I use is this: ``` function vbstatus_change_status(statusID,userID,inputID,editboxID,statusboxID) { $(inputID).value=vbstatus_htmlspecialchars_decode($(statusID).get('text').trim(),'ENT_QUOTES'); $(statusboxID).setStyle('display','none'); $(editboxID).setStyle('display','inline'); $(inputID).addEvent('keydown',function(e){ if(e.key=='enter'){ vbstatus_update_status(statusID,userID,inputID,editboxID,statusboxID); } }); if($chk($('inlinemodform'))){ $('inlinemodform').addEvent('submit', vbstatus_formkill); } } ``` I was looking at an issue similar to the one I have here, yet not sure how to deal with it!! any idea how to do that? Update: here the script I'm using ``` function vbstatus_htmlspecialchars_decode (string, quote_style) { var optTemp = 0, i = 0, noquotes= false; if (typeof quote_style === 'undefined') { quote_style = 2; } string = string.toString().replace(/</g, '<').replace(/>/g, '>'); var OPTS = { 'ENT_NOQUOTES': 0, 'ENT_HTML_QUOTE_SINGLE' : 1, 'ENT_HTML_QUOTE_DOUBLE' : 2, 'ENT_COMPAT': 2, 'ENT_QUOTES': 3, 'ENT_IGNORE' : 4 }; if (quote_style === 0) { noquotes = true; } if (typeof quote_style !== 'number') { // Allow for a single string or an array of string flags quote_style = [].concat(quote_style); for (i=0; i < quote_style.length; i++) { // Resolve string input to bitwise e.g. 'PATHINFO_EXTENSION' becomes 4 if (OPTS[quote_style[i]] === 0) { noquotes = true; } else if (OPTS[quote_style[i]]) { optTemp = optTemp | OPTS[quote_style[i]]; } } quote_style = optTemp; } if (quote_style & OPTS.ENT_HTML_QUOTE_SINGLE) { string = string.replace(/�*39;/g, "'"); // PHP doesn't currently escape if more than one 0, but it should // string = string.replace(/'|�*27;/g, "'"); // This would also be useful here, but not a part of PHP } if (!noquotes) { string = string.replace(/"/g, '"'); } return string; } function vbstatus_get_html_translation_table (table, quote_style) { var entities = {}, hash_map = {}, decimal = 0, symbol = ''; var constMappingTable = {}, constMappingQuoteStyle = {}; var useTable = {}, useQuoteStyle = {}; // Translate arguments constMappingTable[0] = 'HTML_SPECIALCHARS'; constMappingTable[1] = 'HTML_ENTITIES'; constMappingQuoteStyle[0] = 'ENT_NOQUOTES'; constMappingQuoteStyle[2] = 'ENT_COMPAT'; constMappingQuoteStyle[3] = 'ENT_QUOTES'; useTable = !isNaN(table) ?

Update # 3: is it possible to convert this script to Jquery instead of Mootools?
