I know this has been asked many times before, but i still can’t seem to find an answer.

I am trying to reference an object using the this.type property. Unfortunately, this doesn’t work in Internet Explorer, and breaks all my JS.

for example, i wish to reference –
this.type
for a field, and be able to change it to this.type = ‘text’.

What alternatives/workarounds can i use for this?

thanks in advanced.

    You can’t change the “type” of an <input> element in IE. You just can’t; it won’t let you. You can however remove the element and add a new one in its place.
