I'm experimenting with creating SVG dynamically and am finding that document.createElement is changing the case of the tags I input. This is breaking because, apparently SVG tags are case sensitive. For example, when I try to create a linear gradient element like so:var grad = document.createElement('linearGradient');what appears in the view source is:<lineargradient ...> (Note the lowercase "g")The tag doesn't work if the "G" is lowercase. Is there any way to specify in the <html> tag (or somewhere else) that the document should preserve tag case?
I have a page which uses JavaScript to create form elements using document.createElement('input'), etc.. Both Firefox and IE have no problem accomplishing this and when the form is submitted all the information is passed correctly.
I am now trying to validate the form using JavaScript when the page is submitted. Firefox has no problems with this but IE returns 'document.form1.*THE FORM FIELD*.value is null or not an object' for the elements that were created using document.createElement when I try get their value using 'document.form1.*THE FORM FIELD*.value'. How do I get the value of the form elements that were created using JavaSCript?
I try the following in Firefox and other modern browsers:
window.addEventListener('load', function() { document.title = CSS.getClass('fontSize'); var div = document.createElement('div'); document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0].appendChild(div); alert(div); alert(div.style) }, true);
It works fine in normal HTML mode (Content-type: text/html), but in XHTML mode it alerts "[object Element]" instead of "[object HTMLDivElement]" and the second alert shows "undefined" instead of "[object CSSStyleDeclaration]". So I can't reach the style declaration which is important for me. Strict mode makes trouble again and again, the biggest bug: document.write does not work:
I've been creating a script that dynamic loads js files.
but after creating that script, (and i use document.createElement('script');) in that function.. i've realise that the code that shows up in the browser is:
My entire working code without the onchange i'm trying to pull of is:
Code:
// Create the Input Field var inputEl = document.createElement("<INPUT TYPE='text' NAME='state'>") inputEl.setAttribute("id", "stateSelect"); inputEl.setAttribute("type", "text");
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)
Code: var field01 = document.getElementById("Field01").value; field01[0] = field01[0].toUpperCase();
it doesnt work, the first letter of the field stays lower case BUT when I do this:
Code: alert (field01[0].toUpperCase());
then it converts the first character to uppercase, well only in the alert box, the actual one still unchanged.
so i figure thats because it needs to be triggered somehow, it wont work by assigning it. i cant use it as return. are there any trigger methods that would just let me capitalize the first letter without any pop ups or anything?
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:
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.
MSIE 6.0 apparently does not support protyping with objects created with document.createElement, while Firefox does.
I tested it by typing it into the adress bar, but it also appears to be the case for code embedded in a HTML document. Here's a simple segment of code to demonstrate the difference:
javascript: function myObj(){};myObj.prototype = document.createElement('a'); var x = document.createElement('a'); var y=new myObj(); var z= new Object(); alert(x.href) /*blank in both FF & MSIE6 */; alert(y.href) /* blank in FF but 'undefined' in MSIE6 */; alert(z.href) /* 'undefined' in both FF & MSIE6 */;
I wonder why that is (apart from the fact that MSIE implements JScript and not javascript), and can anyone tell me which of both browsers is complient with W3C standards?
I am desperate to solve an issue with z-index. If you look at one of my examples:[URL]... I am trying to make a website where I have button (menu) and when clicked they slide out a page form the right. The site never changes the whole page it just slides in new content on nav click. This page works well in some aspects. each button slides out a page like I want. One problem is that I want the content to slide out from under part of the background picture and to see all of the content I’d like to mouseover the content and it comes above the bit of picture. If you click on page (portfolio) it does this. Whats funny is this whole concept works in IE (believe it or not) but not in the other browsers. What seems to happen is the z-index’s wont let the mouseovers take affect. I’d like to change the z-index when button clicked so the active content is always on top. The second issue is I’d like to close the open content when opening another content page. I have no idea how to do that in this slider case.
btw (I didnt write the slide function and would not have used <button> but not sure how to make it work from any link, I have tried dozens of different ways to do all this but nothing has worked)
I'm writing this javascript to place dynamically created images into a page, it works as expected in FireFox and Chrome, but not IE8, nothing appears and I get no error message.
I'm placing the images into this DIV:
Code:
And have written this code to place the small images into the DIV:
I am writing a modification to Invision Power Board that makes replying to post via Ajax.
The "Submit" button is being overrun by Prototype's observe function. When the custom function is executed, I run Event.stop(e) to prevent the actual form from being submitted and reload the page.
I have developed and tested on Safari but users began to report bugs in IE, after investigation I discovered that the line
Code:
Is making IE execute all the code after it, and then execute its own onclick() function as if Event.stop(e) was not there. Commenting this line fixes the problem, the page is not reloaded, but this line is vital to the code.
So why do I need to set the anchor? To support the back button function after a user makes an ajax reply, pressing Back should hide the new content, and pressing Forward should make it visible. (e.g. every time the anchor is changed) This all works nicely. But not in IE.
This only happens the first time the page is visited ever, or clearing cache and visiting it again. Reloading the page fixes the problem but this is not normal behavior and users shouldn't have to reload to use the Ajax fast reply...
The document object has a method called createElement. Can I use this method to create a new Drop/down list, like:
var sel = document.createElement('SELECT');
I have seen it used like this:
opt = document.createElement('OPTION');
which means that opt now holds an option that can be appended to an already existing select object.
Are there any restrictions for which arguments createElement can be called with? I have seen: var what is "LI"? Where do I need to look to find valid arguments for createElement??
I have a table like above and want to use document.createElement to insert a new row at the end of the table before the close table tag, is this possible?
My efforts so far have resulted in the following html:
this works perfectly in firefox - but in internet explorer it just creates the first lable and the input field, although it creates the input field as a regular text field instead of for files. the caption label and text field aren't created at all. any ideas? Code:
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 having trouble parsing through a table in I.E. Of course it works fine in firefox and chrome. I'm pulling html off of a txt doc and storing it in a temporary div made with createElement so I can go through and parse out the data. Code is below:
[ Code: var tempdiv = document.createElement("div"); //create temporary element to store html content in tempdiv.innerHTML = html; //dump html content into new element
[Code]....
It returns 0 for rows and and cols. If I use a getElementsById and grab a table already on the page it works fine.
I've come up with this code and cant figure out why nothing appears when I press the buttonThe table is soposed to show. Probably something really simple cuz I often stuck on stupid things.
I'm trying to create something just like Gmail's attachment feature where you could add a new element (created on the fly), but could also be removed dynamicly. So a 'remove' link would also be 'created' for each field created. Code:
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,.
I'm trying to integrate PayPal's MiniCart on my site, and I don't have much javascript experience. I did however find that this little blip of code is what's used to position where the cart is placed on the HTML page that contains the script. Here's my problem - I want to be able to create this element inside a div that already exists on the HTML page. Is this possible?
