Firefox Does Not Like Getelementbyid?
Mar 26, 2011here is the code:
Code:
<body onload="loadStream()">
<script type="text/javascript">
[code]....
here is the code:
Code:
<body onload="loadStream()">

My document had the following nested DIV structure, with a possible
<SPAN> between the DIV and the <A> elements:
<div id="container">
<div id="D1">
<span>blah blah</span><br>
<A id="A1">item</a><br>
I came across a third party script I want to learn how to configure as
well as learn more dhtml in the doing. I'm not much of a JS guy yet
but I'm working on it.
This script works fine in IE6 but is a dead fish in FireFox. There is
no support offered on the site where it came from.....
This works fine in IE6.
monDoc = document.getElementById('tbMonth');
mon = monDoc.value;
But Firefox doesn't recognize the value property. What works in FF?
This code works fine in IE but it won't in FF.The error console says topdiv.style and sidediv.style are 'undefined'This is the javascript:
function changeposition() {
topdiv = "document.getElementById('top')";
sidediv = "document.getElementById('side')";
[code].....
Does anyone know how i can get the getElementById().click() to work in Firefox? It works ok in IE6 but not FF. I've herd that the click() event is not supported by FF. Is there any way to fix it?
onMouseOver="parent.Switch.document.getElementById('DownON').click()"
There is an iframe on the page called "Switch". inside that it loads a html file with a button with an id of "DownON". Once that button is clicked it moves some text down. Works fine like i said in IE but not FF.
I am using a text link to submit a form with the following funciton:
<a href="#" onmousedown="javascript: getElementById(form1).submit();>CLICK HERE</a>
It works beautifully in IE but not at all in Firefox. I use the same piece of code to submit a form using an image and it works with the image.
Any one have any idea how to fix this in Firefox/Mozilla?
The following code displays the name for all three elements in IE, but fails
for the1st and 3rd in Firefox. What could be going on? I tried SPAN instead of DIV doesn;t work either. (What I finally want is to set style.invisibility for the text in that DIV) Code:
In Firefox 2, document.getElementById is returning an HTMLDivElement,
in IE 7, it is returning an Object.
For example:
<div id="errorTableDiv">
</div>
....
errorTableDiv = document.getElementById("errorTableDiv");
alert(errorTableDiv);
errorTableDiv.appendChild(someTableNode);
Firefox prints HTMLDivElement and lets me appendChild() later on
IE prints Object and gives an error on the appendChild()
I do not understand why this happens or what the most socially
acceptable way to fix it is.
I have this piece of code to append a new div in an iframe:This works in Firefox not IE (IE errors - invalid argument)
Code:
var newdiv = document.createElement("div");
newdiv.innerHTML = 'loaded';

I've got here a sample of my function which is supposed to fade a
certain piece of text to another colour. This line is then located in a
for loop and it works pretty well in IE 6. However, in Firefox, and thus
I assume it will be the same in Netscape and Mozilla, it gives a problem
with the: getElementById('main_txt'). Due to that in setTimeout("",) it
requires the "" signes and thus I can not use the same ones in the
getElement part. IE has no problem with using '' in there, Firefox,
however, does. Can anyone think of how to get around this and make
firefox do this?
window.setTimeout("document.getElementById('main_txt').style.color =
'rgb("+red+","+green+","+blue+")'",delay*step);
This seemed like it should be so simple. It works fine in Firefox, but not in IE. The goal is to disable the form's Submit button, until the question is answered. (The alert is for troubleshooting.)
Code:
Obviously, this HTML is in a form:
Code:
I want to restrict getElementById to search children of a specific element instead of searching the entire document, in the same way that I can do getElementsByTagName using a specific element as the parent.
In this particular instance the parent is a table and the elements I'm interested in are all TDs, so I did the basic getElementsByTagName('TD') off the table and looped through this array checking the IDs. However, I'm suspecting that the browser can do getElementById faster than I can do a loop in javascript. Is there a neater way to do this? For now, I'll settle for IE-only solutions, though it would be nice to have things work in generic browsers.
I keep getting an error stating "getElementById("ballElement") is null, but I have a div with that exact id. I have looked at the JS script before that line, but found no errors there either. Please take a minute to see if you find something.

Should I use both name and id
<div name="abc" id="abc"> for using getElementById in NS?
I am trying to alter css using javascript as well as use the innerHTML
function. I have pasted below 3 forms that access getElementById in
slightly different ways (I wanted to rule out that it was the method.)
All 3 work fine on IE but only work momentarily on Firefox. For
example, one form has text that changes from red to black when the user
clicks the button. In IE it changes. In Firefox it changes for a
split second then goes back to black. Code:
I've been trying to follow the example from the sitepoint book on DHTML to change the href property of a link, but it doesn't work no matter what I try. Here's the code in the HTML file: Code:
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have this problem and when I came looking for help, I checked out the other thread like this but I couldn't get it to work. Here is the function -
PHP Code:
function newForm(focus, field)
{
if ( focus == 'no' )
{
if ( document.getElementById(field).innerText == '' )
{
document.getElementById(field).innerText = '____________'
}
}
if ( focus == 'yes' )
{
if ( document.getElementById(field).innerText == '____________' )
{
document.getElementById(field).innerText = ''
}
}
}
and here is the form -
PHP Code:
<b>Field 1:</b> <input type='text' name='field1' class='textbox' value='____________' onFocus="newForm('yes', 'field1')" onFocusOut="newForm('no', 'field1')" /><br /><br />
<b>Field 2:</b> <input type='text' name='field2' class='textbox' value='____________' onFocus="document.form.field2.innerText=''" onFocusOut="document.form.field2.innerText='____________'" /><br /><br />
field1 uses the function but field2 uses just onFocus and onFocusOut but as you can see, it won't work.
Works fine in FF, Safari . . . but not with IE. The error is "Object doesn't support this property or method".I have narrowed it down to this line (and a few like it)name = escape(document.getElementById('name').value);The escape() is not the issue, same with or without.I am trying to capture the text value from the field with id='name'. I have found discussions about this problem with IE, but not a solution. This must be easy, just trying to get a cross browser solution to load a JS variable with an <input> value.

Code:
How do I refer to multiple elements with IDs such as question1,
question2, question3 etc, in following?
document.getElementById('question').innerHTML
I want to use
for (var num=1;num<6;num++) {
document.getElementById('question').innerHTML
}
but cannot work out how to get the question1, question2, etc into the
code...
Is there any wildcard, like *, for addressing all the element ID's on the
page at once, like if you want to hide all layers at once. For example:
document.getElementById('*').style.visibility = 'hidden'
I know the above doesn't work but you get what I'm driving at right? Is
there anything like that for that method or in javascript in general?
I have this annoying problem with netscape...
I'm trying to access a form value by using getElementByID and in NS i
end up with a null reference.
The following HTML is the form component that gives me headache:
<form name='task' ...>
....
<select name='prioritySelect' class='selectwidth'>
<option value=''>Choose one</option>
<option value=Ƈ'>Critical</option>
<option value=ƈ'>High</option>
<option value=Ɖ'>Medium</option>
<option value=Ɗ'>Low</option>
</select>
....
</form>
And the related javascript code:
if(document.getElementById("prioritySelect").disabled == false)
{ ... }
When digging into this I can get the desired information by using
document.task.prioritySelect, but that should not be necessary, right?
I hope that anyone knows how to deal with this problem..
The following code is not working for IE.

I can run the following code in Firefox. But, in IE8 the lines below cause an error:
Code:
I have some simple javascript code that works fine in chrome and safari, but not Ie8
Why? And how do I correct?
