Adding Select Element Using CreateElement
Aug 17, 2007
In IE6 and below, when using createElement and appendChild to add a new select element to the page, it automatically selects the first option.
the page relies on using the onchange event of the select element, and if there is only one option and it is selected, there is no possible way to fire the onchange event.
To get around this, i've had to use innerHTML to build the select element, which I feel is dirty so I want to clean it up.
Any idea's? I have already tried setting each option's selected value to false, etc but nothing other than using innerHTML seems to of worked,.

This is driving me insane. I'm trying to use createElement inside a loop to make some <divs>, each of which has an onclick event. I threw together this test page to demonstrate it:
Code:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
[Code]....
When I click on any of the boxes it alerts "5", the final value of x after the loop ends, instead of what the value of x was when the loop executed and created the element ("0", "1", "2", etc.). This is happening if FF and ie.
I also noticed in Firebug if I put a breakpoint on the "yay.onclick=function(){alert(x)}" line that it will break everytime I click on one of the boxes. Very strange...
How can I put in a variable on the yay.onclick=function(){alert(x)} line and have it "stick"?

I'm using the document.createElement method to add dynamic table and from elements to a page, but I'm running into a problem where I'm adding 2 objects to 1 cell. The two of them combined are not wider than the cell, but they won't display next to each other, they're always on their own lines and I can't figure out why...
HTML Code:
var hiddenElement = document.createElement('input');
hiddenElement.setAttribute('type', 'text');
hiddenElement.style.cssText = 'width: 100%; display: none;';
[Code]....
The text input (hiddenElement) should fill 1 line of the cell, but then the two buttons (createButton and cancelButton) should both sit on the line below it, but the cancelButton insists on siting on it's own line below the creatButton, and I can't figure out why.
(I know they have their display set to none, that's being set to block by a function, which is how I know they're all on their own line)

What advantage does adding elements via document.createElement have over writing markup naturally with innerHTML?
[Code]...
The latter method has much more overhead and is considerably more difficult to write with. However, there must be an advantage of some sort to doing it this way, but it's not exactly clear to me why.

I'm trying to check to see if a dynamically created element exists BEFORE creating another element of the same exact type...but my if statement at the beginning is not working and another element is just created.
function writeElement(id) {
if(document.getElementsByTagName('transElement')[0]) {
var id = id;
killElement();
writeElement(id);
}
var id = id;
var transElement = document.createElement('transElement');

I am attempting to create an element (to be added later to the document DOM) using createElement.My test case is just:document.createElement("<p>Hello World</p>");My error console shows the following error:
Error: uncaught exception: [Exception... "String contains an invalid character" code: "5" nsresult: "0x80530005 (NS_ERROR_DOM_INVALID_CHARACTER_ERR)" location: "http://192.168.1.10/projects/test/public_html/js/test.js Line: 10"]

I've written the following small feature test.
[Code].....
I want to remove 'div' before returning the function. Testing in IE something like div.parentNode.removeChild(div); will fail. If I look in the dom 'div's parentNode is null, so that explains that. It needs to be appended to something first I guess.

My code is this:
Code:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html lang="EN" dir="ltr" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

In a few words it creates a button which when it is clicked it launches the add_text script. Add text script creates a text element for a form and puts a random value for the textbox. Textbox also takes a name which is of array type name="txt[]". Also form has the post method.
When I press e.g. 4 times the add text field button 4 text boxes are added. But when I click the submit button I get a result of 1 instead of 4 when the print count($txt) is executed. Copy paste the code to see the problem.

When the page loads there will already be a drop-down on the page, here's an example of the drop down.
<select id="dropdown">
<option value="2121S">Option text</option>
<option value="2122S">Option text</option>
<option value="2123S">Option text</option>
<option value="2121A">Option text</option>
<option value="2122A">Option text</option>
<option value="2121K">Option text</option>
</select>
On page load it will evaluate this drop-down and repopulate it determined on their values. If there is an S in any of the values the drop-down will generate an option for 'S' like so.. <option value="s">S Option Text</option> And for the first code example in this post - the Javascript would be able to repopulate the drop-down with the following:

Using advice from this newsgroup, I tried this JS to create new DOM
elements on-the-fly
var divSidebarItem =
document.createElement("div");
divSideBarItem.setAttribute("class",
"sidebarToDo");
but I get a JS error on the second line "divSideBarItem" is not
defined when I try and invoke the "setAttribute" method. Is there a
better way to create an element with attributes or is there something
wrong with the above?

I'm having some problems understanding the append() function. What I'd like to do is select an element using it's ID and add a row to the table with a HTML form element. The table is dynamically generated using a Django template ( form.as_table() ) so I'm not able to alter the original HTML markup too much.
If I had a table like this...

I am trying to display a notice to users whose browser does not support a method for adding an event. However, I want this notice to appear in a DIV rather than in an annoying alert box each time the page loads. I would also like this DIV to go away if it is clicked on. However, I can't get anything into the onClick attribute in Firefox 1.5 or Internet Explorer 6.
var alert_element = document.createElement('div');
alert_element.style.color = 'darkred'
alert_element.style.border = ƈpx solid darkred'
alert_element.style.padding = Ƌpx'
alert_element.style.cursor = 'pointer'
alert_element.innerHTML = '<b>Your browser does not support the addition of event listeners!</b>'
/* Remove the alert element when clicked. */
alert_element.onClick = "parent_element.parentNode.removeChild(this)";
/* Create the temporary status message element. */
parent_element.parentNode.insertBefore(alert_element, parent_element.nextSibling);
The "parent_element" is already declared before this is reached. There are no errors displayed and the new DIV element shows up just as expected. However, clicking on the DIV does nothing.

I've searched the web and every tutorial I can find says the same thing, and I am doing what they say, but it's inexplicably not working. Basically, I'm using a nested object to populate a select box using the new Option() method. Unfortunately, when I include the new Option line, it breaks the loop and does not add anything.

I have these following code:
<img class="sptr" src="/picts/separator.gif" width="6" height="20" alt="">
<img class="imgbtn" src="/picts/in_image.gif" width="21" height="20" alt="" onClick="wrapText(document.getElementById('TheTextArea'),'','');">
[code]....
As you can see the image has an onclick associated with it.I want to do a similar thing with the selection of the font-size.As the action needs to occur after the client has selected the size, probably I will need "on buttun up" ( or is it onRelease ? ) this one <select name="x_size"> ?or on all the option statements ?

I'm making a form with some select options, and when clicking an option from the drop down, another option will appear.
The thing is that it seems to work in the most common browsers, but for myself, as a beginner in Javascript, I don't know if it's written the correct way. What could be done better?
Aswel, before I write further to this part of code, I want to know that the value of the second option will pass correctly via the PHP process script afterwards... because initially, the second option is not mentioned in the .html file, it comes in virtually by the javascript.
Html:
Code HTML4Strict:
<form action="link-to-php-process-script" method="post">
<p>
<label for="blabla">Choose: </label>
<select name="blabla" id="choice">

For some reason this doesnt work in IE.
var oSelect = document.createElement('select');
oSelect.name = 'Year[]'
for (var i=1950; i<=2005; i++)
{
var oOption = document.createElement("option");
oOption.text = i;
oOption.value = i;
oSelect.appendChild(oOption);
}
oSelect.add(oOption); works in IE but doesnt in FF. Although, its mentioned here that appendChild applies to OPTION too. How do I get this working on both browsers ?
