DOM documentation for IE?

[Ben Crowell]

Can anyone recommend a good place to look online for documentation for
IE's DOM? E.g., I have this code:
if (window.location.search == "?test") {
...
}
It works in Firefox but not in IE, and I'm not having much luck googling
for information about how to make it work in IE.

If you have issues with getting scripts to work, post here.

The following "works" for me in IE 6: when the page is loaded, the
aler shows an empty string. When submit is clicked, it submits the
form and reloads the page, then shows an alert with the string "?
inp0=hey", which is what I'd expect.

<script type="text/javascript">
window.onload = function() {
alert(window.location.search);
}
</script>
<form action="#">
<input type="text" name="inp0" value="hey">
<input type="submit">
</form>

Thanks for the help! Sorry, I was just confused. The reason it wasn't
working in IE was unrelated to the DOM.
