DOM element can't call function?

[CerfurMark]

Hello, I am using your fabulous vm with the DOM extension. Can you tell me if this code should work or what I'm doing wrong? I am trying to create web page formatting with just Lua commands.

 para = window.document:createElement("p") 
  para:createTextNode("abc") 

Unfortunately, I get this error:

Uncaught Moonshine run-time error: Attempt to call non-function @dv.lua [./null:8]

Thank you.

Hi,

Thanks for using Moonshine. createTextNode() is only available on the document object, so you can't do that in JavaScript either. Try the following:

para = window.document:createElement "p"
text = window.document:createTextNode "abc"

para:appendChild(text)

Regards, Paul.

Wow, now that it's morning, it's obvious. I should have gone to bed before posting! Thank you for your help. Mark

No problem. I suspected that it might be something like that. :) Give me a shout if you have any other problems and let me know how it turns out.

Paul.
