Firefox Doesn't Like AppendChild()

Nov 19, 2006

I have 2 list boxes - one to fill the second one based on the selection, or
move all items. You can remove the selection (or all items) from the second
one to place it back in the first one. I expanded my horizons and thought
to use script based on the js node operation appendChild(). It seemed so
clean and easy to follow. Works beautifully in IE, but Firefox sees the
value for a nanosecond but doesn't put it in the box. This is the relevant
js:

function addSide(){
var addIndex = document.forms[0].sides.selectedIndex;

if (addIndex >= 0)
{
document.forms[0].selectedSides.appendChild(document.forms[0].sides.options(addIndex));
}}

function delSide(){
var selIndex = document.forms[0].selectedSides.selectedIndex;
if (selIndex >= 0)
{
document.forms[0].sides.appendChild(document.forms[0].selectedSides.options(selIndex))
}}

function addAll(){
var len = document.forms[0].sides.length -1;
for(i=len; i>=0; i--){
document.forms[0].selectedSides.appendChild(document.forms[0].sides(i));
}}

function delAll(){
var len = document.forms[0].selectedSides.length -1;
for(i=len; i>=0; i--){
document.forms[0].sides.appendChild(document.forms[0].selectedSides(i));
}}

Is there a way to make it work for FF, or do I need to just start over and
not use appendChild()? Is there a better way?

I spent several hours struggling with dynamic form fields added with
appendChild or innerHTML not POSTing on submit in Firefox. The only

GetElementById Click In Firefox

Apr 8, 2007

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.

<a href="#" onmousedown="javascript: getElementById(form1).submit();>CLICK HERE</a>

Any one have any idea how to fix this in Firefox/Mozilla?

GetElementById Return Value Differences In Firefox/IE

Mar 26, 2007

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.

Firefox & GetElementById('main_txt') Doesn't Work

Jul 23, 2005

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);

Element.getElementById Instead Of Document.getElementById

May 13, 2004

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.

Cannot Use AppendChild('img') In IE

Jan 27, 2006

I cannot get an appendChild(img) in the following code snippet to work in IE. However, the same script works without any problems in Firefox and Netscape 7.0 The error that is produced in IE is invalid argument. I have used a try/catch block in expectation of producing a better error message however the error message that is received is [objectError].


var pageDiv = window.parent.fraTop.document.getElementById('pageTitle');
if(pageDiv!=null)
{
while(pageDiv.hasChildNodes())
{
pageDiv.removeChild(pageDiv.firstChild);
}

var img = document.createElement('img');
img.src='/wp2f/images/please_wait.gif'
pageDiv.appendChild(img);
}

AppendChild To After First Tag?

Jan 30, 2010

I have this body:

<body>
<div id="d1">content</div>
<!--I want to append a div right here-->
<div id="d3">content</div>
</body>

I have this javascript code which would add a div after div id="d3":

var adiv = document.createElement("div");
document.body.appendChild(adiv);

How could I modify my javascript code so that instead of adding to the end, making it the last tag, it would be the second tag?

AppendChild In Greasemonkey

Jul 23, 2005

I'm using the following code in a Greasemonkey script.

var start, newElement;
start = document.body;
newElement = document.createElement('b');
newText = document.createTextNode("The Greasemonkey salutes you!");
newElement.appendChild(newText);
start.appendChild(newElement);

Can anyone tell me: 1) why my string appears twice; 2) how to make it
appear just once?

I'm trying to insert code at the top of every viewed page. Obviously,
document.body appends the string to the closing body tag which is not
what I want. What could I use to insert my code as the first childnode
under 'body'?

AppendChild To Something Already Appended?

Nov 29, 2009

Over the last couple years I've built up a DOM library. Nothing fancy, you can just create an element with all its attributes in one function. What I've wanted to do is make it so you can determine the parent element of the newly created element. Works supa in firefox, not so supa in IE.This is my code....

Code:
pollOptions = document.getElementById("pollOptionsContainer");/*new divs to organize it in*/
pollOptionsGroupContainer = buildHtml.createDivHTMLElement(pollOptions);
