Building The Document In A New Window Entirely With Document.write
Apr 22, 2006
I am working on creating a document where you check a bunch of checkboxes to select what to include, then click on a button. A function then opens a new window and writes the HTML code to run scripts in .js files to populate the page. Code:
Normally an SVG document is loaded/parsed/interpreted inside an HTML document using an 'object' (or 'embed') element, although there are supposedly other ways too. The problem is, the SVG document must be static this way.
I want to use the DOM interface to build SVG dynamically inside an HTML document. I am guessing I can build it inside HTML within an 'object' (or maybe 'iframe'?) element.
My intentions/goals:
In Javascript, I construct an object 'embedSVG' which has properties and methods for creating valid SVG elements and setting their attributes and attribute values.
During construction, the SVG document is created with its root element. During debugging in FF 2.0 (I'll work on an MSIE-compatible format later), I am using the Mozilla DOM Inspector and comparing nodes when the 'object' element is loading a valid external SVG document, and when I am appending the child representing the SVG document created by the DOM functions.
However the child node (#document) does not specify 'svg' as the root element, but instead 'HTML'. Something is not working.
Here is the relevant code in 'ScriptTest.html' which is the HTML in which the SVG is supposed to be embedded. Below it is the relevant code for 'svglib.js' which is supposed to contain code for building the SVG dynamically.
What this code is supposed to do is load the HTML page and execute the anonymous script, and draw a navy blue-bordered yellow rectangle on a blank page. This is similar to the example in the SVG 1.1 W3C Recommendation on page 202 of the 719-page PDF.
I am getting an exception when embedSVG object placeInHTML() method is called: NS_ERROR_DOM_HIERARCHY_REQUEST_ERR. I find in DOM Inspector in spite of or after the exception that a document is placed as a child of the object element, but it is HTML, with a default 'head', 'title', 'body' elements placed.
I have this button on a page that uses "window.open" and then "document.write" to open a new browser window and then write HTML to the newly opened window. The issue is that the written HTML has <script src> tag that loads Jquery. Around the bottom of the document is the <script> $(function(){....})</script> code. But the page gives an error at the call saying that "$" is undefined. Obviously, the JQuery library was not loaded.
Cant figure out how to write on the same window on an event load. document.write opens a new window automatically. this is wat i want:
i've got 7 links of 7 days in a week. and when the user clicks one link, it should display the schedule beneath that link or in any table somewhere in the page. ive searched a lot on the web, and from what i've found, doesnt seem like that its possible!. maybe if we use the div tags and then pass divnames as arguments to the calling function.but tat i dont know how to hide the contents of div because that is also shown on the window..
everytime i click the link..it shows the contents in the new window!!
I have been searching for a way to trap changes done to the document object (mainly by the function document.write();).
Example of code that doesn't work:
function myFunction() { ed.document.onchange = doFunction(document.body.innerHTML); ed.document.open(); ed.document.write('Hello'); ed.document.close(); }
function do_function(body) { alert(body); }
It only fires when the page loads, not when I change the text. You are free to use any event that works, but i think onchange was the one to fit this problem. The alert will write the initialpage, but will never write the tekst 'Hello' that is the new change.
Any javagurus out there know a solution to pick up any fired events triggered by document.write();
I am trying to write a bunch of text onto a new document using document.write() and somehow need to format it to include line breaks.
For example: Code JavaScript: document.write(Line 1); document.write(Line 2);
I have tried including and it does not work. I have also tried document.writeln() and that also does not work. From what I have found on the Internet, one (if not both) of those methods should have worked.
I am trying to write a bookmarklet that will let me know an object.For the most part, it works as best I could hope until I try it on a real page.For the purposes of understanding, I am using the Bookmarklet builder here [URL] for testing.
Here is the code:
(function (){ var theObjStr = prompt('What Object would you like to know?',''); var theObj = eval(theObjStr);
[code]....
I compress the code, and test it via the link on the bottom of the page and everything works magically.Add the Bookmarklet to your favorites, and go to [URL] and try to run it in IE7.I am getting an access denied error when the code gets to the line:
var wHndDoc = jjPopWin.document; I have tried everything including just calling a straight jjPopWin.document.write(); with the same results.
I am on Windows XP SP3, Using IE7 (works great in Firefox 2 &3).
how to stop the document.write opening a new window when called in a function, what I want to do is really simple but is defeating at every turn.I have a line of text that is a link on an html page,when clicked i want the the function called to print a name, imediatly after the calling link (on the same page).
I'm trying to figure out this script doesn't display any text in the child window and why I'm getting the null or not an object error. It's taken directly from the Javascript and DHTML cookbook (not listed in the book errata on o'reilly website). Initially I get an error "window.dialogArguments.yourName" is null or not an object. Then I fill out the field on the form, press the button and the child window does display but there is no text inside the child window.
Questions: Should I be declaring an object that isn't currently declared like "window"? or is "window" a built in object that doesn't need declaring? do I need to assign the dialogDoc.html or "result" to "document" somehow? It looks like they have me putting a value in "result" then never actually using "result"... confused... Using ie 6.02800...Suggestions? gj
<html> <head> <title> Launch a Modal Dialog</title> <script type="text/javascript">
function openDialog(form){ var result = window.showModalDialog("dialogDoc.html", form, "dialogWidth:300px; dialogHeight:201px; center:yes"); } </script> </head> <body> <h1>Internet Explorer Modal Dialog Window</h1> <hr /> <form name="sample" action="#" onsubmit="return false"> Enter your name for the dialog box:<input name="yourName" type="text" /> <input type="button" value="Send to Dialog" onclick="openDialog(this.form)" /> </form> </body> </html>
does anyone know of any javascript method that does the same job as document.write(), but not necessarily at the end of the document? For instance, insert some text inside an element that has a specific ID tag?
I think only the Moz1.4 supports application/xhtml+xml
You can see it on my 4 page site. http://www.tecknetix.com/
In IE6 you can read the copyright notice but in Mozilla you can't. But in you go to view > page info in Moz - you can see application/xhtml+xml as the type.
I'm learning JavaScript, and I have learned very much of the language. But I don't know what the difference between document.write and document.writeln is.
I'm working on a website that will basically embed a widget/frame sent by a handler into a user's current page. The user basically adds a script tag to where they would like the HTML to be. The script tag has their settings and is basically a document.write that calls all the code that we want displayed.So here's my problem. We have a map that we need to add in a specific section, and to get the map we have to call another script tag. So we end up having a script tag (map) embedded in another script tag (the code for the widget/frame) or we end up having to document.write inside a document.write.
Now this works just fine and as expected in Firefox, Safari, and Chrome. However, Internet Explorer and Opera wait until the first document.write is completely finished before calling the embedded one. Of course the problem with this, is that it takes the map out of the document's flow and just appends it to the bottom left of the page. Since the rest of the page has already been called, there's no way to move the interior "map" script.Any ideas? Basically just trying to figure out how (if even possible) to render an embedded script tag in Internet Explorer and be able to place it properly. I've tried everything that I can think of, including AJAX and Google's unescape script.
I am totally new to jQuery and no good knowledge on javascript. However, I was assigned a task, to convert a javascript program to jQuery due to compatibility problem on browsers like Chrome and Safari. My program originally use javascript xmlDoc.load('....') to read XML file, and then use document.write statement to write html tables on client side. Something like this (the sample below may got lots of syntax problem as I jut want to show the major part):
Code: document.write('<TABLE >'); var y=x[0].getElementsByTagName('NoOfRows'); for (i=0; i<=noofrows-1 && i<=y.length-1; i++){ document.write(' <TD>'); document.write(z[j].getElementsByTagName('RecordDetails')[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue; }
Now I changed to use jQuery, I can read the XML file elements. However, when I try to write the table, it failed:
I have a client that has ads on her website that really slow down the site. These ads are called by an off site javascript file and I want to use a jQuery(document).ready or similar method to call these files after all of the site content has loaded. But these files contain document.write functions to add more javascript files. Since I want to load the files after everything else has loaded, this in turn makes the page blank and then loads the ad. Is there a way to position where document.write will write to?
I understand that it is bad practice to use document.write inside a function as it can override other functions, so what would be better practice, writing to a <p> element, using document.writeln or are there others?
I have a HTML document displayed in an iframe. Controls on the HTML page are data bound to an XML file. I use a drop-down list to move between the different recordsets in the XML file and hence change the text displayed in the HTML page.
I use JavaScript to display the contents of the iframe in a separate window. The new window displays the HTML page. The problem is that contents of the HTML page are always for the first recordset in the XML file even when I change to a different recordset.
I found that if I omit the document.write from the code then it works OK. Am I doing something wrong? Here's the JS code:
Hi, this snippet of code gives an error in Firefox but works just fine in IE.
<html> <head> <script type="text/javascript"> function start(){ statusarray = new Array(); document.write("Test"); // This outputs text as expected statusarray[1]="0"; //FF says that statusarray is undefined. } </script> </head> <body onload="start()"> </body> </html>
The error only occurs if the document.write line is present. If I remove that or comment it out, then it works just fine.
Don't worry about the utter lack of functionality, I have only drilled down to the troublesome code for this example.
A straight forward problem I think but my knowledge of JavaScript lets me down.
I am taking in a lot of input using a form. After preparing an email (FormMail.pl) I then use 'document.write' to create a new page with all the users details nicely formatted. This includes checking radio buttons, checkboxes etc.
Problem is as soon as I use the first 'document.write', the form and all its contents are undefined. I have moved some of them to variables for the time being but this is cumbersome.
I am trying to add html link to flash object using document.write but I am not sure how to do that? Please check my code and make any necessary changes to it.
I Am trying to use the following script to generate a url dynamically and I can get the link working just fine with plain txt in the anchor area but when I try to add an image - I am running into trouble.
