I sometime find it useful to add my own attribute to a HTML tag so that my javascript can access those elements.
For instance, new_attribute in the following anchor tag:
When trying to validate this page, however, it doesn't pass. Some of the below questions likely do not make sense, but I hope you get the idea what I am looking for:Is what I am doing bad practice?Is there another way to allow javascript to specifically select just some elements and not others? Should I instead apply multiple classes to the element, and use some of the classes not to modify appearance, but to allow just them to be selected?If using custom attributes, should they somehow be defined so they pass validation?
Here's what I'm trying to do: 1) I get reference to a div that's on my page: var theDiv = $("#" + divID); 2) Now I want to add a custom attribute tag to it, so for instance I want to add "winWidth" so that the div object now contains "winWidth=" for instance. 3) I want to set winWidth now since it's part of theDiv to a value
I'm not sure how to really do 1 + 2. I need to do this on the fly because some javascript logic later will add these attributes dynamically to the div... outside of what the original div had...I don't care what it had, I know I have it now in a JS variable and now I want to both add some new attributes to the div, and then set them on the fly. I don't need these attributes to be on my page, I just need them added to my div variable reference.
I have some attributes that aren't really standard attributes:
e.g.
<option additional="34">Deep Purple</option>
That "additional" attribute is an attribute that I use with Jquery to add an additional price to the item.How many browsers will work with custom attributes like that? Or will I have to use a standard attribute (Note: if I use Value it overwrites the value inside of the option).
how I can get my custom attributes to validate in XHTML Strict? I have to have it validate as it is for a class.Example of the form:
HTML Code: input onkeyup="TF_filterTable(document.getElementById('dataTable'), filter)" size="40" tf_colkey="name"tf_searchtype="substring" /> Example of the JS:
Code: var inputs = frm.getElementsByTagName("INPUT"); for (var i=0;i<inputs.length;i++) { //looping thru all INPUT elements[code].........
I'm trying to add a click function to my object. The way i have it now in bold is how I saw someone else use it, it doesn't work. I tried using jquery's bind('click') and this.div.onclick but it runs the function right away upon instantiation.
How can i get this to run only when clicked?
function bubble(id,title,description,year,bubbleIcon,icon,source,length) {//art object from xml this.id = 'bubble' + id; this.title = title;
Enter a search term and:1) Google Blog Results show up2) Twitter Search Results show up3) Google Maps with custom xml data shows upI have accomplished the first 2 parts - http://www.justincener.com/xmlI now want to add in Google Maps. The idea is to type in a athlete's name and have results come back from Google Blog Search (done), Twitter (done), and Google Maps. I only need to show 2-3 choices, so I want to create a custom Google Maps XML doc that corresponds to a few search terms. For example, when someone types in "Tom Brady", I want a Google Map to also come up along with the Google Blog and Twitter Results.
On the map, I want to plot 4 points showing his 4 next games. I think I know how to create the custom XML for GMaps, but I don't know how to implement it so that when someone enters input, the GMaps will show up. Can anyone get me started in the right direction please?Here is the JS so far that handles Google Blog Results and Twitter Results:
var errorCount=0; var twitter_link; function searchGoogle(query)
I am developing a mobile web app which communicates with a wcf service that returns data in json format. The way security is handled is the user logins and recieves a token which is added to the http header. The login ajax request which passes the url strings to the service is using https protocol. This works fine. The other 2 ajax requests are also supposed to use https but when I do this the custom header isn't added. If I use http which is the old url, the custom header is added to http header. I have tested this using fiddler2 and firebug and for some reason it doesn't like https in the ajax request url.
function login_service() { //$.mobile.pageLoading(); var stringUsername = $('#txtUsername').val(); var stringPassword = $('#txtPassword').val();
I am working with customised form validator..I've this html structure <div id="tab-perfil"><fieldset> <legend>Dados Pessoais</legend> <div class="columns"> <div class="colx3-left-double required"> <label for="nome">Nome</label> <span class="relative"> <input type="text" name="nome" id="nome" value="" class="full-width"> </span></div>
What I want to do is after the input add a span, I know how to do that, just use insertAfter('#nome'); but I have a class for the ERROR and a class for the OK. This is what I have so far this.find("#formulario_criar-cliente").submit(function(){ var $inputs = $('#formulario_criar-cliente div .required :input'); $inputs.each(function() { if ($(this).val() == "") { $(this).addClass("error"); } else { $(this).removeClass("error"); }}); return false; });
When I add the class error I want to show a span with a class="check-error" and when I remove the class I want to show a span with a class="check-ok" but remove the error one. This is for multiple inputs... and I don't know how to achieve that =x
Im using the jquery validation plugin: [URL] The forms are generated dynamically using php, with the standard class 'required' the plugin looks for, however when it comes to adding my custom rules i want them to be dynamic, as the name/id attributes are generated based on what the id of the form is: i.e. the form ID is #comp so an input would have a name attribute of comp_forename, comp_surname so basically the validator is initiated by looking in the body for a form: var form_id = $('body form').attr('id'); Then how can icancatante the strings to created the name attributes dynamically in the rules here:
I'm a neophyte to Javascript, but I need it to dynamically add lines to a form. I was able to cobble together this inelegant looking code below. It adds the row when called, but there are more attributes needed for this to be correct for the application. 1) need to center the input in the TD 2)the input tags need type, size, maxsize, and value attributes added I have not been able to figure out the correct way to do this.
Also, is there a way for the value attribute to work with a PHP echo, or is there a Javascript method to display associative array values?
[Code]...
BTW is there an good online tutorial and/or reference for javascript or book(s) that you could recommend?
I have this code that when links are clicked the elements are erased. The issue that I am facing is that I want to update the order of the attributes "id" and "var_id". Basically when you remove the first or the second element to update the order. I am not very savvy with DOM so I have hard time developing that functionality. I hope you guys can help me with that.
<html> <head> <script> function removeElement_e(divNum) { var d = document.getElementById('e');
I know that using <a href="javascript:"> and <sometag onclick=""> is evil, but in this particular situation it is quite hard to avoid it due to external powers Anyway here is the issue itself : putting javascript strings inside HTML attributes :
Code:
<button onclick="DoSomething('string')">
Everything is fine until there are single or double quotes INSIDE the 'string' value. Having a double quote inside the string, even JS escaped leads to the onclick argument value being cut :
Code:
<button onclick="DoSomething('str"ing')">
If you replace the double quote by '"' then you don't get a double quote inside DoSomething (you could always replace " by " in JS).
Similar problem if you choose to enclose the onclick argument in single quotes and happen to have a single quote JS escaped inside the string.So, is there any other way of dealing with potential presence of single AND double quotes in the 'string' value, other than replacing them before by ' and " and then replacing them back inside DoSomething ?
I have a custom HTML tag: <custom>text is here</custom>
I can do anything I would like in terms of calling methods with mozilla but not IE 6. For instance calling appendChild in IE results in an error. The innerHTML property is blank even though there is text between the tag.
Is there a work around for IE. What gives with IE and being able to access and manipulate custom tags??
I know very little js, but I've been reading up on it, mainly for one reason. (I'm a PHP programmer and I've just used js for small tasks like client-side form validation, that sort of thing).
What I want to do is make a textarea with buttons, similar to a BB editor, but which will use defined html tags; I'll use <div style="box1"> and <h1 style="greenunderline"> for examples. I've tried to modify some open source editors and get utterly lost in trying, and I'm not sure that approach would work anyway.
The buttons would need to function two ways, again like a BB editor.
1) It could simply insert the start and end tags in the textarea;
2) If text were selected, it would put the tag in front of the selection and the end tag after.
If I can get this done, I think I can handle a preview function. I haven't even gotten close to getting javascript to "get" selected text inside a textarea.
suppose we have a <a href=www.google.com>google</a> tag in our HTML page.And it is inside a div with class name as chapter. Now i added the script as below,
I have a dynamic HTML table which gets populated by coldfusion and displayed, I have a column called performace which holds numeric values. I need to select the top 3 best performace value in the column and then highlight the entire rows in different colours. Can any one help me in doing it?
My server can run only Javascript and coldfusion, No Ajax/PHP.
Hint : Something like a code to highlight a <tr id=#idx#> with this ID = #idx#.
simple code page with div content, there some things and i do :alert( $("#content").html() ); gives me really nasty code in IE it adds some of default values, changes code to uppercase as for really old html opera and firefox works fine is there a way to avoid custom code added by IE?
I am trying to find how to use custom tags in html and render data based on their use.
A good example is the joomla <jm:whatever> tag.
I found the following article: [url]
I think it might be outdated though because the behavior:url element does not seem to work. Plus, when I check the style sheet on a joomla site, it doesnt seem to use this method. I think these tags might be xml but I do not know how to render them based on the tag.
For example: <customAbbrv:display src="test.html" label="Test" />
I would want this tag to fire test.html and pass the attribute label which is set to Test.
I am searching for a jQuery plugin for screenshots gallery, similar to Lightbox, FancyBox, etc. The problem is - I need to display HTML description for each screenshot.
I found a great one that allows layover for any DIV on the page: [URL]
but this one doesn't have a prev-next functionality for multiple divs, as I need to present these in a gallery view.
Do you know any plugin that allows that, or do you have idea how to extend the script to work the way I want?
I have two problems that I suspect will be bread-and-butter problems for the more experienced guys on here, but I'm not the greatest with js.
NB: Code snippets at the bottom
The first problem is that after a bit of fiddling I'm getting am 'Object Expected' error when I click on the Depot dropdown which I can't seem to get round. The code I had was working OK but then I cut it all out, tidied it all up, and put it back in and now it doesnt work.
The second problem is a 'How do I...'. I'm using an XML data island to retrieve some data without submitting the form. In the first example, when the user selects a Customer, the Depot list is updated with all the depots for that customer; This all works fine. What I want to do now is retrieve some more data when the Depot is selected.
I have the XML bits working; the js code snippet correctly output a series of msgboxes with the correct value in (or at least it did until I introduced the Object Expect error!).
However, I'm unsure as to how to display this information on the page. The XML contains a series of Part No's and Quantities, which I'd like to display in a table towards the bottom of the screen. The problem is that I don't know how to dynamically create and populate this table.
The only caveat is that I dont want to show the table if no values are returned from the query....
I'm trying to find a way to add an attribute inside an anchor. I want to do this is because that attribute is required by a script I have running on the page, but it is not valid.Just so it makes more sense the code looks pretty much like this:<a id="previous" control="-6" href="#"></a> and I would like to add control="-6" inside <a> via jQuery, only I don't know how.
You see it doesn't want to output the I have specified. The actual script is a lot more complex and so unfortunately manually adding each using an appendChild or similar function would be far too time consuming and probably rather resource intensive. Is there anyway I can just add a 'chunk of html' to this table row and in this chunk define the table columns?
