Cross Browser Child Node Reference To Run A Script With?
Nov 23, 2006
I have been working on a site where I have already created 27 pages which has navigation using the classic unordered list with list items within and anchor tag links within the list items. I have already put ID on the list items which are three per page and have much CSS associated with these IDs. So I really would not want to change where I have put the ID on my tags at this point. I have written a script which is much more complicated than the two illustrated below however to two below serves to illustrate my problem. I had vaguely remembered that the Dom for Firefox and Internet Explorer was not exactly the same. But I didn't think of this when I started my site creation.
Consequently I need a way of getting a reference to my child anchor tags from my parent IDed list item tags. I know how to do this now for both Internet Explorer and Firefox but not at the same time. So my question is how do I do this? Is there one best way of getting a reference to a child tag that works both in Internet Explorer and Firefox? Is there one easiest way? Is there many ways of doing this? Please tell me what way you know of doing this. And please don't hesitate to respond to this posting if it has already been answered for I would really appreciate as many answers as I can get. Code:
Is there any way to resize an iframe dynamically to the height of its content that works cross browser and works when the iframe content is on another domain than the main page (I have access to both pages, so code can be put in either) Also, it must resize when links in the iframe are clicked (ie when a new page within the iframe is loaded)
In one of my webpage, I have a child window gets opened. How to get the child window's reference in to my javascript and access its elements? I am aware of the method: child = window.open(....) However, I can't use this logic because, I can't change the code of the web page since I am not the developer. So, I want logic to get the reference of an already opened child window.
I'm beginner, and there is a task in exam to change inner content of the second child node. Can't get,maybe link to an article how to do it, because I can't find anything in my study book;:mad: edit: is this correct?
function SetUpTranslation() { var phrases = document.getElementsByTagName('p'); for (var i=0; i < p.attributes.length; i++){ phrases.secondNode.innerHTML=french[i]; element.onclick=swapFE(phrases.secondNode); element.onmouseup=swapFE(phrases.secondNode); } }
This technically uses Javascript + PHP + XML, but the problem is more based on Javascript than the other two. That, and there are 380 people viewing Javascript and 8 people viewing XML, I decided to take the path of lesser resistance. Also, the code I used, I'm sure there are a million shortcuts that could be used.
Products Load from an Array Options Load from the chosen Products? I'm thinking this can be done two ways. Maybe a separate XML can be used for Options but then how would I link each one for each product? Or, can I load the Options in the same XML for each Product and load an array for each Product's Options?
Later on, I need to figure out how to create a new element for each form the User fills out. IE They finish filling out the options and volume for 20 GI JOES. So it should save those Variables and the User Filled Variables. And then allow you to fill out a new product. Appending to the last form filled out IE
I am trying to remove a child node from an XML document and running into issues. I keep getting errors about not being able to find the child node, even though it very clearly exists.I think the issue is that most examples I've tried to follow only have the root element, then the nodes, but I have a root element, then another level (mapSettings & mapObjects). I don't know how to tell the remove child command that it needs to look in the mapObjects section.
I've downloaded treeview plugin from your website. It's very good tool but when I am selecting any node then all childs become hide only selected child become visible. I've downloaded tree from the following url: [URL].
After 1.5 years of writting my website I installed NS. It's JS works alot different to IE's, so it looks like I've got to write most of my site again!! [img]images/smilies/frown.gif[/img]
NS will only read 1 external JS file, which is abit of a nuisance as my site has a JS file common to site, another for the subfolders of the site, and the page's JS included with the HTML.
I'm trying to put all of common functions into one JS, but some of the functions have large amounts of text assigned to them. I'm trying to import the text using XML sheets as needed, but having a bit of a problem with the line Code: xmlDoc.childNodes[i].childNodes[2] where NS will only read 1 array of childNodes. How do extract xml with NS's JS?
If my audience uses not so old browsers, do I have to use cross browser DOM? If they have IE 5 or later and Netscape 6 or Mozilla 1.0 or later and any version of Opera that is not older than 6 months?
In some pages of my website I use a code like the following:
for (var n = 0; n < getTagsArray("SPAN").length; n++){
//SPAN is just an example. I also use other tags tag = getTagsArray("SPAN")[n];
//make something with tag... }
function getTagsArray(Tag){
if(document.all){ //Internet Explorer return document.all.tags(Tag); } else if (document.layers){ //Netscape eval("return document.tags." + Tag); }}
I want to put all browser-specific code inside the getTagsArray function. So far, I've programmed only for Internet Explorer (my browser), but now I want to make my website visible to all browsers. I'm not sure about the getTagsArray function. Is it right or is there a better way to do the same thing? And how can I extend that function to make it work in other browsers?
Finally, where can I find some information about cross-browser programming? I have the javascript reference for Internet Explorer and Netscape, but I know nothing about other browsers.
a lot of the code I have trouble with is events-based, although there are some DOM-navigation problems that I've noticed in IE.
before I launch into a probably fruitless attempt to write an API that corrects IE's DOM-mangling, I'm wondering if someone else may have already invented that particular wheel.
ideally, this would be a script which I simply link to in the head, and then write valid DOM code which automagically works.
This is a snippet of code from my HTML, and it has been giving me a lot of trouble. It works in IE6 and FireFox, but not in Opera and I can't test other browsers.
What I'm looking to do is make this as cross-browser friendly as possible, which I'm guessing might be able to be done by the way of javascript functions.
The only problem is I don't know any javascript, this is all I know and a quick solution is all I'm looking for.
So maybe, firstly it would be best to ask if it is even possible to achieve this show/hide effect on all browsers, and if not, what options I have?
would like to know which is the best WYSIWYG editor you are using for every of your application? I do not actually have any since i'm not in need but I may consider adding one to one of my upcoming project.
I am building a webpage that loads information from an XML file. I am using XMLHTTPrequests.
On page load a function populateH(); is called which reads the XML file and populates the HTML(Home) page accordingly. The function uses getData() functions to read and write from the XML file.
The page works properly in FireFox, but the populateH() function doesn't seem to work with other browsers. I have tested my getData() functions in other browsers and it seems to work fine.
(example available at: [url]
My get data function is written as follows:
Code:
And my populateH() function is written as follows:
Code:
I use the XMLHttpRequestObject in the populateH() function to set the nodes to retrieve, and the getData() functions are called in the place functions (placeNews(), placeFriends(), placeLinks()) to write to the HTML document.
I have a website[URL]... that has a car search box functionality which uses an external javascript file to populate the makes and models within the dropdown boxes.
A few weeks ago I realised that it didn't work in safari (initilly I had the populate onload code attached to the submit image), I then moved the code into a inline script tag and it worked but now i've realised it doesn't work in Firefox... I am now thinking of adding a script to determine the browser and dynamically work on adding the populate code depending on the browser but thought it would be a good idea to post on here in case there is an overall much better solution. If you visit the site you will see a working example of the issue.
For a widget I made, I have a dropdown select menu. It is constrained to a very small width and IE does not auto expand on click. I wrote a simple javascript to handle this but I run into two problems. The onmouseout function is fired when I click into a child node, and the onmousedown of the <option> tags doesn't work in IE. The code works fine in all other browsers.
var wid; var campaign_i = 0; function campaignWidget_capture(myID){ wid=document.getElementById(myID).style.width; campaign_i++; } function campaignWidget_SubDes(myID,state){ if(state==0){ [Code]...
I'm trying to find a javascript/DOM navigation tree to use in a web-based content management system, to allow navigation of > 10,000 folders/files.
The javascript (non-DOM) tree we currently use is running too slowly as it cannot dynamically load in nodes when users select a node to expand. This is critical for us. The top level of the tree hirarchy only has 20 or so nodes, but each node might contain up to 1,000 nodes.
So what we need is for the tree to process and display the first tier (20 nodes) and then only process sub-nodes if the expand icon is clicked.
Does anyone know whether such a tree exists?
It needs to be compatible with all modern browsers (IE 5+, Netscape 6+, Opera 7+, Konqueror 2+, Safari etc). I've looked at several different examples, but none of them (AFAIK) appear to be fully compatible with the above list of browsers.
