Ответ от Raynos - лучший старт, но его нельзя запустить из коробки.Node.*
не может быть найдено, а .bind
недоступно в IE8.
Вот код, готовый для использования в Internet Explorer 8:
function recursivelyWalk(nodes, cb) {
for (var i = 0, len = nodes.length; i < len; i++) {
var node = nodes[i];
var ret = cb(node);
if (ret) {
return ret;
}
if (node.childNodes && node.childNodes.length) {
var ret = recursivelyWalk(node.childNodes, cb);
if (ret) {
return ret;
}
}
}
}
function testNodeForComparePosition(node, other) {
if (node === other) {
return true;
}
}
var DOCUMENT_POSITION_DISCONNECTED = 1;
var DOCUMENT_POSITION_PRECEDING = 2;
var DOCUMENT_POSITION_FOLLOWING = 4;
var DOCUMENT_POSITION_CONTAINS = 8;
var DOCUMENT_POSITION_CONTAINED_BY = 16;
function compareDocumentPosition(thisNode, other) {
function identifyWhichIsFirst(node) {
if (node === other) {
return "other";
} else if (node === reference) {
return "reference";
}
}
var reference = thisNode,
referenceTop = thisNode,
otherTop = other;
if (this === other) {
return 0;
}
while (referenceTop.parentNode) {
referenceTop = referenceTop.parentNode;
}
while (otherTop.parentNode) {
otherTop = otherTop.parentNode;
}
if (referenceTop !== otherTop) {
return DOCUMENT_POSITION_DISCONNECTED;
}
var children = reference.childNodes;
var ret = recursivelyWalk(
children,
function(p) {
(function() {
var localOther = other;
return testNodeForComparePosition(localOther, p);
})();
}
);
if (ret) {
return DOCUMENT_POSITION_CONTAINED_BY +
DOCUMENT_POSITION_FOLLOWING;
}
var children = other.childNodes;
var ret = recursivelyWalk(
children,
function(p) {
(function() {
var localOther = reference;
return testNodeForComparePosition(localOther, p);
})();
}
);
if (ret) {
return DOCUMENT_POSITION_CONTAINS +
DOCUMENT_POSITION_PRECEDING;
}
var ret = recursivelyWalk(
[referenceTop],
identifyWhichIsFirst
);
if (ret === "other") {
return DOCUMENT_POSITION_PRECEDING;
} else {
return DOCUMENT_POSITION_FOLLOWING;
}
}
Вы называете его так:
compareDocumentPosition(sourceElement, elementToTest)
(Это как звонить sourceElement.compareDocumentPosition(elementToTest)
)
