Difference In Calling Javascript In Href And Onclick Of Anchor Tag.
Jan 18, 2006
I am looking for a generic javascript function to identify the form with in which a element exists, thus developer can avoid coding like document.forms[index].submit() - where they are sure, they want the form with in which this element exists is to be submitted. This way when forms are introduced at top level the code can remain unchanged, else every form introduce above in the DOM will result in increasing the index by one.
The code is given below. While doing so i am stuck with 2 problems
P1: In the code, you can see i am giving a explicit 'break' in the code. If i don't do so the code seems to be looping. Obviously i am missing some basic.
P2: I am able to pass 'this' for anchor element by name="xy"
<a href="#" name="xy"
in its onclick function by which, in the javascript function i move up the DOM.
While i am unable to do that on the anchor element given below since this function is now on the href attribute.
I also have added a fallback page in the href (do.htm) in case users have JavaScript disabled. But the JavaScript doesn't seem to be working. When I click the link it always goes to the fallback page, and doesn't submit the form.
I've tried swaping the order in the anchor tag (JS first, href second):
I'm working on a project where we're using JavaScript to let users swap styles on a page. To accomplish this, I'm calling the script via href="javascript:swapcss()" on the switch styles button.
Some pages on the site have anchor links. On those pages, if someone swaps styles without hitting any of the anchor links, all is well. But if someone hits an anchor link and then hits the swap button (at this point the URL is pageid.html#anchor), the page just reloads to their anhor point without swapping styles.
Does anyone have a workaround handy? I've tried several alternatives I've found online (href="#" onClick="action"; href="javascript void(0)" ). Nothing works for this case yet. Code:
I am designing a template for File Hosting site but the flash uploader is breaking the design
This is what it looks like
When the button (white box) is clicked it opens a file selecting box
How can i replace that box with image, i tried placing a image over it with help of wmode transparent but when clicked on image flash doesnt open up the file selection box
How this can be done?
Is there any way i can run the flash when clicked on image because this doesnt looks good.
Little detail as i am more a designer than a coder.
Can anyone assist me with what I am trying to do with the following code (six different scenarios to try to make the functionality work correctly)?
I want to always (and ONLY) display in the status bar 'Symantec Corporation' whenever anyone mouses over (onMouseOver) my image or link OR when one clicks while holding the left mouse down (onClick) on the same image or link. Upon releasing the mouse (onMouseOut), the status bar should be 'blank'. I need the link to open in a new window via my function openWindow(URL) code.
What is happening in most of the six scenarios, is that when one clicks the link, either the function doesn't engage, but rather the <a href= takes effect instead OR that status bar shows 'javascript:openWindow('http://www.symantec.com/');' when one clicks while holding the left mouse down (onClick) on the image or link.
Additionally, for only the link, I need the CSS/style to show 'red' when one mouses over (onMouseOver) it and then change to 'blue' upon releasing the mouse (onMouseOut).
How about integrating 'style="cursor:hand"' into the code or perhaps setting some of the data via a <div> or <span> snippet? Code:
i cant seem to understand why some functions that i create i have to call them with the () and some without example:
js: function popup() { alert('hello world'); } html: <input type='button' value='click me' onclick='popup()' /> the obove code will work.. but some functions when they are being called with the () at the end do not work.
I want to add a small but informative weather widget to one of my web sites. Having searched around, most are either too big or too simple.
I did find "one" that I liked but it links to a lame page. I would rather have no link rather than the one provided. The widget I like is a simple javascript "include file" similar to this one:
I'm using a script that has the back-end functionality mashed up so I can't change it. An image with a link around it hides behind this:
$RateUserThumbnailLink$ And i'd like to disable the link somehow as the owner wants money for the edit which is ridiculous. Can anyone figure out a way of disabling the link it generates?
It worked fine as long as the href attribute of the anchor tag was '#'. Then I tried using href other than '#' and ran into a problem. I just changed the href to:
Right, so there are a bunch of links in this format: <a href="/profiles/########">username</a>
I'm using greasemonkey, and what I want to do is go through and get all of the /profiles/######## part of the anchor tag. I'm using Regex and I can't seem to get a match.This is what I have so far:
function ok() { var names = document.getElementsByTagName('a'); var reg = new RegExp("WHAT GOES HERE?");[code]....
what is actually desired is I want there to be a way I can select these somehow as well..
i have a page containing an iframe somewhere in the middle of it. the iframe stretche to the end of the page and its height is calculated from its content with javascript.
i want some of the pages i load into the iframe to have a "back to top" link at the bottom. but i can not put the anchor inside my iframe because my iframe doesn't start at the top of the page.
so i put the name linke of the anchor at the top of the parent page which has the iframe inside. but i couldn't find a way to call that anchor from within the iframe.
i'm sure this could be done with a simple code of javascript. how do i get to the parent frame within the iframe?
I have a page that loads various "applications" into an iframe inside the main page. One of the applications loaded calls a javascript function that is loaded with the "application" page. It works great in Safari, Chrome & Firefox but error's out in IE8 - "Object doesn't support this action". Have other calls that work but this one is the only one that uses href
[CODE] <div id = 'trainingsubmitbutton' style='display:none;'><a href='javascript: submitdata(0)'>Submit This Record</a></div> [CODE]
I'm filling in for a coworker on a radio stations website.
The station currently streams live online. I want to add an event tracking so I can track how many people are streaming. I'm really new to js, but I think I figured it out (keyword is "think"). However, there was already an onclick event within the anchor tag. Can I have two in the same tag? Is there a better way to do this?
To order a customized product from my site, the user has to upload an image and then submit text (separate steps but part of the same php form) before adding to their cart. Currently, the user must scroll back down from the top of the page to the next part of the form after each step which is more confusing than I would like.
The first step of the form uses a straight forward <form> and I was able to add an action="#anchor" to jump down to where I set the first anchor.
The second step is regrettably not so straight forward and I'm having trouble adding an anchor. After entering text, the user clicks a submit button which triggers an alert letting them know the text was submitted successfully. When the user clicks the okay button on the popup alert, I would like the page to jump down to the 'add to cart' portion.
I am trying to call an ajax function from the onclick event of an anchor tag. Currently I reference the function like this. I would have liked to bind the function to the anchor tag but did not know how to do that when I need to pass in a parameter?
I have a set of vertical tabs about a quarter of the way down my page. They are all visible on page load from the top of the browser window. When you click on a tab, it scrolls down and puts the tab content at the top of the window. I know why it does this, is there anyway to override this behavior so that the tabs change content but the window does not scroll?
I want to be able to match all <a> tags on a Web page that are external links, which would be signified by the href attribute starting with "http://", obviously. Then I want to add an attribute to the matching tags.
I ran across this script that is supposed to do that:
But it doesn't work. I don't understand regex very well yet, so I'm not sure if that part of it is right, but the jQuery syntax looks correct to my inexperienced eyes.
I know jQuery is working on the site already, the script is below the call the the jQuery library, and yes, I do have the script in the Head tag of the page...
I have two pieces of Javascript attached to my open/close text boxes.
One for the visibility function: <script type="text/javascript"> function toggle_visibility(id) {
[Code].....
The problem only shows further down the page, when I click to open a box it automatically goes back to the top of the page instead of staying at the user's current page position
I would like it to stop changing the page position onclick.
I have this partially achieved when clicked, any number will indeed "turn into" an h1'd representation of itself but I can't get the other links in the group to disappear when the h1'd number appears (onclick).
I am trying to autofill a box by clicking a link (with return false). The function to autofill works with button tag but not in anchor tag - instead of returning false, the click event transitions to the href.
onClick="function(' whats the value of the anchor tag just clicked? Title basically says it. I need to get the object that was just clicked, to insert into a JavaScript function. I've tried "function('this')" and similar things, but it doesn't work. I'm sure this is REALLY easy to do, but I don't know it and I have no idea what to search for.
