I am working on a little javascript project, and I need to get an arbitrary element's style information.
For instance, I want a method that you can pass a reference to an object, and for instance, find the current css height property that applies to it, no matter where it was declared. I don't mind it returning a null value if it wasn't set anywhere, but if it's coming from some css class or some css id or some locally defined style, I want to know what is being expressed.
If I just try el.style.height, it only lets you know what the height is if it was explicitly defined in the style tag.
I have a billion elements that all share the same class. I have another billion elements that all share another class. This cannot be changed. My objective is to use one element to trigger onclick a change in the others elements' css properties, that is each element is paired with another, producing a billion unique pairs. From hours of deciphering the cryptic documentation examples ive come up with the following, which doesnt work. Assume that im using "name=item#" in the element's tag to identify each pair.
One fundamental issue with this is that it will change the opacity of both elements in the pair were both elements to share a name,or it will only affect the element being clicked on if not, but i only want it to change the opacity of the element that isnt being clicked. Another issue is that there are instances where i may need to set a setTimeout on a css property, and ive not found any documentation on integrating javascript and jquery together within a function.So how do i get this function to accept input from one element and affect the css properties of the other? And what would a setTimeout look like if it were placed around the opacity property?
How do I restore CSS properties for a selected element? I want to change the background-color of a particular item on click, then restore the original CSS bgcolor from the stylesheet when it's clicked a 2nd time.
The item in question has a CSS class applied to it from the stylesheet.
I have 1 form, and dozens of elements. In the select elements I use onchange="somefunc()". In this function I'd like to access and change the form element attributes (such as form.element.option[].value and form.element.option[].innerHTML).
Is there a way to access the element that has just changed (unsing onchange="somefunc()") by passing a "this.element" parameter to access the elements properties such as form.element.option[].value within the function?
On a page I display a link of search results which are hyperlinks, which all have the same URL get paramaters with different values (i.e. companyreport.aspx?....). I want to then click on a search result hyperlink and then generate a Div popup (this is called through a javascript call that is attached to each search result hyperlink's onClick property.
For the hyperlink that is clicked, I need to take its 'href' value and use it (reason for us is in a bit).
On the popped up Div element is a dropdown box and two buttons (accept / decline). Once the accept button is pressed, I want to then go to the page the selected hyperlink was pointing to by using the 'href' value I obtain from the clicked search hyperlink and to also append to this hyperlink the a new GET parameter and the value of the dropdown box.
I have got this to work currently but it seems quite mess, so was wondering if there is a better solution to this.
I am dynamically building a part of my HTML page by setting the innerHTML of a DIV element. Immediately after I do that I try to retrieve the clientHeight and clientWidth of the DIV element in order to determine what height and width the element actually ended up being. But I always get 0 as both the height and width. The contents of the DIV, i.e. the HTML code that I inserted into it via the innerHTML, does indeed get displayed on the page. But I suspect that the browser doesn't actually update the page until AFTER my JavaScript code has completed and "returns control" to the browser.
Does that make sense? Is there any way I can force the browser to update the page BEFORE my code completes its processing, so that I can properly retrieve the width and height of the element I just inserted into the page?
I have an object on the document element that allows for other components to register with it, i have a custom event something along$(document).bind("register",function(thechild)..So in the child object when they are created i call$(document).trigger("register",this);And indeed i get the DOM object. However i'm looking for the plug in object, i want to be able to call methods on the passed childobject and access it's Config.Does that make sense? How can i write a plug in that is applied to various objects that also registers itself with an 'overseer' object on the document element in such a way that i can allow that overseer object to call methods on any registered child objects?
how to add extra properties to html elements as I was storing data in html attributes. After looking at some others code including Raphael and this addEvent code. [URL] They seem to treat objects just like an array. obj[property] = value; This would have been extremely helpful to know previously as I have needed to be able to include variables in property names - but have resorted to making the whole thing a string and calling exec() on it.
i have a menu generated by a list with nested lists. i want the parent link to stay highlighted when the mouse hovers over the sub menus. because those sub menus are also generated by jquery (qtip), CSS alone won't do it (triedul.topnav li:hover a {background-color: #F00;}).is there a way to do this using jquery?
I am getting a Javascript error from Firefox 1.0.5 when I try to reference a table within a window that has just been opened and written to. I get the Javascript error "cartTable has no properties" where cartTable is the variable I assigned the table reference to.
Previous to this, I have just opened a new window, used the document.write method to write some HTML into it, and then used the document.close method. At that point I call a new function to add some extra things into the new window and this is the first statement that gets run. It seems as if the table isn't quite finished loading when I try to reference it and that is causing problems. I am not getting any errors in IE6 and it is working just fine. I figured that maybe I could implement a loop to just wait until the table is fully loaded but that will just loop infinitely for some odd reason.
while (!winDVDCart.document.getElementById("cartTable")) {}
This code just loops infinitely, but if I just put an alert within the {} for the while loop, it shows the alert once, I click ok and everything works great after that. Could anyone point me in the right direction on this?
AwebappI am working onmust use millimeters instead of pixels for the top, left, width, height and font-size style attributes. There happens something strange when setting these style attributes with mm values.
It would appear that it is not possible to retrieve CSS properties such as min-width if they have been set from a class. However, I don't want to have to style everything directly with the style attribute whenever I need these properties. Is there a reliable method of getting these properties as applied to element from a CSS class?
i want to set page properties within the page itself. i can easily open a new window, but i don't want to have to do that. width, height, toolbar, scroolbar, navigation, etc... it seems like i've done this before, but for some reason i'm drawing a blank. any suggestions out there?
I'm trying to iterate thru form elements and pull out the ones with "note" in their name. getting "elementName has no properties" with the following code, and i don't understand why?[code]...
I have been working on an Ajax class, but have encountered a problem in IE which i cant seem to work around. In IE i get the following error, referring to the requestChange method.
"this.objParent.objRequest" is null or not an object
As the requestChange method is called as the onreadystatechange function, ive had to assign a variable referencing the parent Ajax object to the requestChange method, which is done in the Ajax construct method. This allows me to reference the Ajax Request Object from the requestChange function.... in firefox at least. Code:
I have a quere.How to get the url from the properties window in internet explorer using the java script.Ex: I opened browser and navigated to[url]....Now I right clicked on the page selected properties option.In the properties window i need to get the url using java script.
I am drawing lines inside of a <div> (wrapper) using <div> id's by incrementing the height and width properties using javascript functions. I use setTimeout to gauge the speed and clearTimeout for when the current line is finished being drawn. Then we call the next function to draw the next line ... etc.... etc.
At first I was going to go the whole "createElement" route. Then I thought "Why not go ahead and define all the lines and id's in the body of the page and just set the initial heights/widths to "0" (hence they will not be seen until we start to increment).
XHTML Transitional looks like this:
What do I have to do be able to set multiple style properties?
I am getting an invalid argument:
I have been through this once before. This time I am not leaving anything out in hopes that someone could elaborate on why does:

To me, it looks like the same approach is being used.
I have a number of show/hide images on my site which allows the user to click on various thumbnails to open up the full image using layer based styles.
However, my Javascript seems to have developed an error saying that the object has no properties and then takes me to the following line of code:
obj.visibility='hidden';
This code was written for me so that i could use the script dynamically with PHP an alter the number of div layers it needed to generate.
The full(?) javascript for this function is:
function showImg(myShow) { var loopNum=99; for (x=1; x<=(loopNum); x++) //1 based loop
I would like to generate a page of links including some of the pdf properties (title, author, version, etc.) for a folder full of pdf's. Is this possible from Javascript?
