I am trying to insert new lines inside an alert that is created by the document.write method. This causes the error "unterminated string constant". Is there any way around this? code...
View 3 RepliesI am trying to write a bunch of text onto a new document using document.write() and somehow need to format it to include line breaks.
For example:
Code JavaScript:
document.write(Line 1);
document.write(Line 2);
I have tried including and it does not work. I have also tried document.writeln() and that also does not work. From what I have found on the Internet, one (if not both) of those methods should have worked.
I'm using the script below to list files stored locally on a webpage (I'm developing a small application that is to be loaded from a CD-ROM). It's been done in HTML as per my company's request.
Essentially, this script works and successfully populates a list of files stored in the folder given by its parameter. However, I wanted a line break between the entries (hence) but it doesn't seem to work. I have tried the <pre> tag before and after the div this is printed to, as well as around the script - but it doesn't seem to have any effect. All I get is spaces. code...
See my code:
I don understand why this javascript:document.write(b); doesnt work in url...
Opening IE displays the following code fine.
When I open a new window the code no longer works. All the HTML is
overwritten with the first document.write statement.
This code pulls XML from a web site then parses it into a dynamically
created table built with javascript. The write table is not working
correctly, other methods work fine. This code also locks up Fire Fox to
where it doesn't stop loading the page. Code:
I am totally new to jQuery and no good knowledge on javascript. However, I was assigned a task, to convert a javascript program to jQuery due to compatibility problem on browsers like Chrome and Safari. My program originally use javascript xmlDoc.load('....') to read XML file, and then use document.write statement to write html tables on client side. Something like this (the sample below may got lots of syntax problem as I jut want to show the major part):
Code:
document.write('<TABLE >');
var y=x[0].getElementsByTagName('NoOfRows');
for (i=0; i<=noofrows-1 && i<=y.length-1; i++){
document.write(' <TD>');
document.write(z[j].getElementsByTagName('RecordDetails')[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue;
}
Now I changed to use jQuery, I can read the XML file elements. However, when I try to write the table, it failed:

Why doesn't this work? The input field doesn't show up at all. I know I'm just missing something really simple here.
<script type="text/javascript">
day = day.getDay()+1;
month = day.getMonth()+1;
year = day.getYear();
newdate= month + '/' + day + '/' + year;
document.write('<INPUT name=Date value='+ newdate + '>');
</script>
I have a client that has ads on her website that really slow down the site. These ads are called by an off site javascript file and I want to use a jQuery(document).ready or similar method to call these files after all of the site content has loaded. But these files contain document.write functions to add more javascript files. Since I want to load the files after everything else has loaded, this in turn makes the page blank and then loads the ad. Is there a way to position where document.write will write to?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm working on a website that will basically embed a widget/frame sent by a handler into a user's current page. The user basically adds a script tag to where they would like the HTML to be. The script tag has their settings and is basically a document.write that calls all the code that we want displayed.So here's my problem. We have a map that we need to add in a specific section, and to get the map we have to call another script tag. So we end up having a script tag (map) embedded in another script tag (the code for the widget/frame) or we end up having to document.write inside a document.write.
Now this works just fine and as expected in Firefox, Safari, and Chrome. However, Internet Explorer and Opera wait until the first document.write is completely finished before calling the embedded one. Of course the problem with this, is that it takes the map out of the document's flow and just appends it to the bottom left of the page. Since the rest of the page has already been called, there's no way to move the interior "map" script.Any ideas? Basically just trying to figure out how (if even possible) to render an embedded script tag in Internet Explorer and be able to place it properly. I've tried everything that I can think of, including AJAX and Google's unescape script.
Write to new line in textarea? I'm using this JS code...
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm pretty new to JavaScript and am having a problem. I thought what I am doing should work but it isn't.
Basically I have a form that people can put a quantity into. e.g. A, B, C.
I have a JavaScript function called comput that assigns values e.g. A = 5, B = 7, C = 9. Here is the start of the script:
<script language="JavaScript"><!--
function compute(form){
var A = form.A.value * 5;
var B = form.B.value * 7;
var C = form.C.value * 9;
I then declare a variable to add them up:
var ans = A+B+C;
return;
}
</script>
This part of the script works fine. Now I want to write the ans variable. So I use:
<script>
<!--
document.write ("Your total is "+ans+"")
// --></script>
But it isn't working. Any ideas?
I am working on creating a document where you check a bunch of checkboxes to select what to include, then click on a button. A function then opens a new window and writes the HTML code to run scripts in .js files to populate the page. Code:
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have been searching for a way to trap changes done to the document object (mainly by the function document.write();).
Example of code that doesn't work:
function myFunction() {
ed.document.onchange = doFunction(document.body.innerHTML);
ed.document.open();
ed.document.write('Hello');
ed.document.close();
}
function do_function(body) {
alert(body);
}
It only fires when the page loads, not when I change the text. You are free to use any event that works, but i think onchange was the one to fit this problem. The alert will write the initialpage, but will never write the tekst 'Hello' that is the new change.
Any javagurus out there know a solution to pick up any fired events triggered by document.write();
Just started getting into jQuery yesterday. Question: How can I place line breaks in alert box text?

How do I get the line break to work in an alert box based on data from this php variable?

does anyone know of any javascript method that does the same job as
document.write(), but not necessarily at the end of the document? For
instance, insert some text inside an element that has a specific ID
tag?
sometimes document.write doesn't work for me but document.writeln always does..
View 3 Replies View RelatedI need to eliminate the document.write for this bit of code
copyright=new Date();
update=copyright.getFullYear();
document.write("Copyright © 2001-"+ update + " " );
var showtext = "Tecknetix";
var mailpart1 = "webmaster";
var mailpart2 = "tecknetix.com";
document.write("<a title='email tecknetix' class='hov' href=" + "mail" + "to:" + mailpart1 + "@" + mailpart2 + ">" + showtext + "</a><br />");
The reason is now I'm using <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="application/xhtml+xml; charset=utf-8" /> with xhmtl 1.1
Since I've changed the MIME type to application/xhtml+xml from text/html the document.write is invalid now.
Here is a page with a demo on it so you can see how they changed document.write("<link rel="stylesheet" ...") around.
http://www.xml.com/lpt/a/2003/03/19/dive-into-xml.html
I think only the Moz1.4 supports application/xhtml+xml
You can see it on my 4 page site. http://www.tecknetix.com/
In IE6 you can read the copyright notice but in Mozilla you can't. But in you go to view > page info in Moz - you can see application/xhtml+xml as the type.
I'm learning JavaScript, and I have learned very much of the language. But I don't know what the difference between document.write and document.writeln is.
Can somebody tell me the difference?
I am working on a simple javascript craps game program. I need some advice since it won't display who the winner is, keep tally of who wins/loses, and the number of total games played. After using the error console there's an error with document.forms [0].thrower.value not being defined.

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)
i have a function (i wont write it out coz it is too long!) but after i have done the main calculations within this function i wont to display some of the variables in a table.
i have writen:
document.write(
<table border="1">
<tr><td>
Value 1
</td><td>
[Code]...
I understand that it is bad practice to use document.write inside a function as it can override other functions, so what would be better practice, writing to a <p> element, using document.writeln or are there others?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm playing around with edit in place and have a list of information that is generated by a php loop. Each list has a unique ID number at the top that i need to send back to my php script. I've put the ID number in a hidden form field at the top of every list and i'm trying to read it using .val() I've used .prev to get the line ID but can't seem to get ID number.... I thought it would be something like this but i can't seem to figure it out... i $(this).find('.Id:first').val(); usally work my way though stuff but this is making my head hurt.....
View 6 Replies View RelatedRecently writing some code i cross over a problem using document.write:
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a HTML document
displayed in an iframe. Controls on the HTML page are data bound to an
XML file. I use a drop-down list to move between the different
recordsets in the XML file and hence change the text displayed in the
HTML page.
I use JavaScript to display the contents of the iframe in a separate
window. The new window displays the HTML page. The problem is that
contents of the HTML page are always for the first recordset in the XML
file even when I change to a different recordset.
I found that if I omit the document.write from the code then it works
OK. Am I doing something wrong? Here's the JS code:
function displayFullScreen() {
newWindow = window.open("", "newWin",
"toolbar=yes,location=no,scrollbars=no,resizeable=y es,width=screen.width,height=screen.height,left=0, top=0")
newWindow.document.write((getRframedoc()).document Element.outerHTML)
newWindow.document.close()
}
