Need to append a hidden value to a floating div that is made via javascript. I tried the most obvious way but I am getting mismatch error in debug.
.HTML
<input type="hidden" id="desc1" value="blah blah blah" />
.JS

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);
}
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?
I am trying to get a simple set of Javascript tabs to work properly. I have just two tabs and I want to set up the script to have the second tab automatically hidden prior to reading the javascript code because right now it shows the contents of both tabs when the page is loading and then the second tab disappears after all the script has loaded.
I have the jquery script linked to on the page and here is the way my script looks to run the tabs:
Code:
I want to add something like style="visibility:hidden;" to the DIV that isn't shown on page load and have it added and removed as necessary when users click on the tabs. So basically I would like the generated code to look like this:
Code:
Specifically, assume I have a div tag of absolute dimensions. I need
to figure out, first, whether or not the text inside the div tag is
partially hidden by the overflow setting, and if so, what the hidden
text is.
Is this even possible? Obviously, the rendering engine in the browser
"knows" this information, but is it accessible through Javascript?
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'?
I'm trying to spread a table across a frameset. So I have index.htm that has an iframe sourcing the frameset. What I'm trying to do is create a table in index.htm to spread across the whole brower window. Code:
View 2 Replies View Related<body id="theBody">
<p> 1
<p> 2
<p> 3
<p> 4
<p> 5
<p> 6
</body>
var newText = parent.frames[1].document.createTextNode("some text");
var theBody= parent.frames[1].document.getElementById("theBody");
theBody.appendChild(newText);
This will insert an element after the last <p>, can I insert one
after the body but before the first <p>?
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);

Why doesn't the following code work in firefox:
var e = document.createElement("Div");
e.innerHTML = "<p>Hi</p>";
GP.appendChild(e);
..GP is a div..
It works in IE. What is the correct code for FF.
i'm trying to generate a calendar using dom to create a table. it works in firefox and opera, but ie won't show it, and sometimes gives me an alert saying it can't display the page, and then shows a 404 page. here's the code:

function makeEdit (oldValue, pageID) {
alert (pageID);
var targetDiv = $(pageID.toString());
var inputBox = document.createElement("input");
inputBox.value=oldValue;
inputBox.id=pageID;
inputBox.onBlur="saveData()";
alert(inputBox);
targetDiv.appendChild(inputBox);
}//makeEdit()...
FYI the $ is just a prototype function for getElementByID the error i keep getting says that "targetDIV has no properties" not sure what that means exacly. Any ideas?
The .label. is killing the code, but I want to append the child as a label not just plain text.[code]
View 8 Replies View RelatedI am trying to create one image using JavaScript; then later in the script
remove the image - not just remove the src. The following creates the image, but I have been unable to remove it.
How do I structure
document.getElementById('num1').removeChild(image_ display); ?
<input type=file name="picture1" onChange="image(this.value, 'num1');"
Id="pt1">
<div id='num1'></div>
<script type="text/javascript">
function image_size(field, num){
image_display=document.createElement('img');
image_display.src=field;
document.getElementById('num1').appendChild(image_ display);

..
document.getElementById('num1').removeChild(image_ display);
}

If I try to append a PARAM tag twice I'm having problems:
var.medDiv = document.getElementById("myDiv");
var medObj = document.createElement("object");
var p = document.createElement("param");
p.setAttribute("FileName",this.URL);
medObj.appendChild(p);
p = document.createElement("param");
p.setAttribute("AutoStart","false");
medObj.appendChild(p); // <-- this one
medDiv.appendChild(medObj);
The line with the "this one" comment triggers IE to tell me that it has
an invalid argument. If I change the order of the PARAMs then the new
second PARAM will give me the error. If I move the setAttribute to after
the appendChild I still get the error.
This example
will show that the first call to "doit()" will print 30 times the image
with only one call to the server. Then I have a timeout and call doit()
again, and this time, it downloads the picture 30 times!!!! It doesn't
even time to finish downloading the pictures before the next timeout
kicks off and if I let it go for a minute or two i have like 300 calls
to download the same image trying to be downloaded!
I heard about a bug in IE that would require to preload the images
using a hidden div, but that didn't work. I see that google maps manage
to not having to reload the image and gets it from cache. What am I
doing wrong? This works perfectly in Firefox (i.e. it uses the cache
and calls the server just once). Code:
I have a custom HTML tag: <custom>text is here</custom>
I can do anything I would like in terms of calling methods with mozilla
but not IE 6. For instance calling appendChild in IE results in an
error. The innerHTML property is blank even though there is text
between the tag.
Is there a work around for IE. What gives with IE and being able to
access and manipulate custom tags??
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'm playing around with some AJAX-ish stuff and
encountered some problem in the JS side of the universe. Maybe someone
here can suggest an alternative that works.
I have developed a simple ASP.NET application with a web page that
should display a list of users. This list page is designed to start
with an empty table (with columns defined), and, onload, send an
XmlHttp request to a server component (a.k.a. ListServer). This
ListServer is currently simulating a long-running operation. So, it
sleeps for 3 seconds, and then grabs a list of 4 users from an xml
file. It applies an xsl transformation and returns the result.
The xslt is designed to take the xml data and convert it to a
<ListChunkroot element containing a <trfor each user in the XML
data. Each row contains 4 columns (Id, Login, Password, Name). The
javascript in the list page grabs the responseXML from the XmlHttp
object and should, for each <trin it, create a copy of the row
coming from the server and adding it to the list on the client.
I actually got all that to work quite fine. The js snipplet dealing
with copying the row coming from the server and adding it to the table
on the client is: Code:
The problems I am having are with trying to get IE to successfully clone a referenced node from one frame and inport it (with all form values etc) to another frame.
Moz works fine with
oFilters = document.getElementById('saveElement');
oFilters.appendChild(parent.frames[frameref].document.getElementById('e_'+elemref).cloneNode(1));
I have tried iterating the specified node and using createElement to create a copy in the desired place, which works fine with simple input type text or hidden. The first snag comes when trying the same with textareas. The cloned form doesn't submit the values :(
Any ideas? Code:
I am working on a sortable table (full code in attachment). I solved all the intermediate steps till the end when, to my surprise, appenChild() method inserts some previous cloneNodes in looped rows in a peculiar mode, by leaving the end tags </tr> at the end of the table. So far:
1.- build the cloneNodes of the rows as an array, and each index as a paralel array:
//some needed variables on later
t=document.getElementById('tab');
nr=t.rows;
nc=t.rows[0].cells;
//array of rows and rows indexes
var oRows = new Array()
var iRows = new Array()
for(var i=1;i<nr.length;i++){
oRows[i]=t.rows[i].cloneNode(true);
iRows[i]=t.rows[i].rowIndex;
//so far so good, alert shows me what i needed
alert(oRows[i].innerHTML)
}
2. - build an array with the content of the correspondent cells on column and sort this array. The array is double and keep the genuine row's index for later use as each second element. Code:
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:

I am coding an AJAX DHTML whatever application and I was fed up with
always typing a lot of appendChild() functions.
I created a custom one called append_children() and wanted to share it
if anyone need such a function.
function append_children() {
var a = append_children.arguments;
for ( var i = a.length - 1; i > 0 ; i-- ) {
try {
a[i-1].appendChild(a[i]);
} catch(e) {
for ( var j = 0; j < a[i].length; j++ ) {
append_children(a[i-1], a[i][j]);
}}}}
