I'm trying to find a way to add an attribute inside an anchor. I want to do this is because that attribute is required by a script I have running on the page, but it is not valid.Just so it makes more sense the code looks pretty much like this:<a id="previous" control="-6" href="#"></a> and I would like to add control="-6" inside <a> via jQuery, only I don't know how.
Here's what I'm trying to do: 1) I get reference to a div that's on my page: var theDiv = $("#" + divID); 2) Now I want to add a custom attribute tag to it, so for instance I want to add "winWidth" so that the div object now contains "winWidth=" for instance. 3) I want to set winWidth now since it's part of theDiv to a value
I'm not sure how to really do 1 + 2. I need to do this on the fly because some javascript logic later will add these attributes dynamically to the div... outside of what the original div had...I don't care what it had, I know I have it now in a JS variable and now I want to both add some new attributes to the div, and then set them on the fly. I don't need these attributes to be on my page, I just need them added to my div variable reference.
I am trying to add and attribute to the body tag using javascript. I have two questions if anyone could help me real fast that would be great. This is what I have thus far...
Code: var timer=""; document.getElementsByTagName("body"){ document.write(str.replace("body", "body onLoad="setTimeout('grabber()', 5000)')) }
1) This does not work, where is the coding wrong? I would be nice to know what I did wrong here so that in the future I will know how to do it right.
2) Also is there a way that I can add the onLoad with out replacing the whole tag? If I replace it then I will loose all other attributes that might be in the tag too.
I am testing some code that finds and element and attempts to add an event handler attribute to it as 'onclick' (test case in Firefox 3.5.9)
/* The actual code is: window.onload = function() { //<irrelevant code> var test = document.getElementById('tstEl');
[Code]...
I am trying to do this because Element.addEventListener or Element.attachEvent won't allow for arguments to be passed to the event handler code/function. What is going on here? The only line referenced, line35, in the document text containing javascript code is irrelevant to the problem.
I was wondering if someone could help me out with the following.I'm developing a webshop CMS in which you can create categories. By using jquery's ajax method I'm making a POST request to a PHP script which then handles all the data supplied to it. This works good and all except for the fact that after the query is being executed my HTML doesn't get updated, at least not as well as I want it to.I understand that the common way of working here is to update HTML in the success callback of the ajax method. But the thing is that every category is being displayed as a list item with an id attribute, this id corresponds to the id the category has in the database.If$.ajax tells me that everything went down smoothly and my query has been executed then there's still no way for me to know which id this new category has been given so that I can update the HTML accordingly.
What would be a "smart" way to tackle this? The first thing that comes to my mind is simply calling another script which figures out the last inserted id on the db but that would mean doing an ajax request in the callback of another ajax request? That doesn't sound right to me..
I'm working on an interactive website where the user can change the font attributes of the text within the page they're reading. Is there a way to bind, for example, bold tags around a snippet of text the user has high-lighted? What I mean (if that wasn't clear) is if the user is reading through the text on the page and drags their mouse over a piece of text then clicks a button and it turns bold, much like a rich text editor would work, is this possible to do?
We're trying to make all the HTML we write to be forward compatible so we're running our code through an HTML validator.The problem I'm seeing is that the 'rel' attribute is not valid for the <input> element. Although it works fine, is there a work-a-round for this?I've used the 'rel' attribute extensively since I've started using jQuery.
I'm trying to create a function which shows a hidden response when a button is clicked on.I also want to add the response to a variable which lists all the users responses.Here is my code now...
I am using a dialog box plugin. I need to add a button so I use html statement like below: '<input id="myButton" type="button" value="test" />' This renders just fine but I don't know how add an event for the button or even add this button to the DOM.
I use .prepend to add html contents in an existing html tag. When i view the source in IE i can't see the added content. I tried it with Chrome and it's working and see the contents immediately.
I have a table that displays a list of groups. You can add, modify, or remove the group. I have three functions in my JS:
[Code]...
Using AJAX, PHP, and jQuery, when I add a group, it posts to an "addgroup.php" file, and then returns that data in JSON format, and I then tell jQuery to display that data in HTML. Here's the problem now... The table does not render properly. There is no padding/margins. Even worse, if I Add a group, and then click the "X" to delete the group (without refreshing the page), the data posts, and returns (i get a response in my console confirming the removal), but the entry that I just added does not disappear (as it should) unless I refresh the page. When I add a group, and then view my page source and inspect the element, all of the appropriate HTML is there, but it just doesn't seem to be rendering right.
I am putting the finishing touches to a custom written (pHp) article editor to allow users to publish content on a website.I have basically finished the project, and I am putting the finishing touches in with jquery widgets, such as a word counter. I would also like people to be able to highlight a section of text, then have some custom tags wrap the text (much like on this forum when you highlight a word in the message box and hit the wrap button).I would like my own custom tags to be used, such as <span class='someclass'>some entered text</span> rather than predefined ones.
I'm attempting to write a quick piece of Javascript code that will validate if the end user of the javascript has the necessary VML attributes set in their HTML. The problem in IE is that "xmlns:v" does not appear in their attributes property or the getAttribute('xmlns:v') calls. The real kicker is that the 'xmlns' attribute does return something.
i have found a possible bug in 1.4 but it's only in Internet Explorer 7 & 8.The following code does not work and completely ruins every peice of jquery on the page (that means everything inside $(document).ready and anyting else...
I cant see any syntax errors - i pulled the example from the 1.4 site. There is no trailing commas in the object notation and i really cant see any reason it would work in firefox and not IEx and more to the point not only not work in IEx but break any other jquery in the entire page....
We are getting a line of junk characters at the end of a page when we invoke a DatePicker call. Unfortunately, this added line causes a white space at the bottom of our site and causes navigation issues.Here is the call (within the $(document).ready( function() method):$("#CFFromTextBox").datepicker();in the source of our page, we get If we remove the call, we don't get this line of crazy characters
I'm making a call to a server which returns an html table. I want to modify the caption in the table before adding it to the document. There seem to be several ways to select the caption element, but I can't see how to modify it [code]...
I'm working with a large (and unweildy) ASP.NET application, and there is a lot of jQuery code that uses selectors like this:
[name=_aspnetControl$_withASubControl] And unfortunately, some selectors that also look like this:
[name^=_someAspNetControl$_radioButtonList].
In other words, the effort to remove the $ from the attribute selectors would be monumental. If it is possible to escape the $ symbols, I can do that easily enough, but unfortunately the situation right now means that I can't upgrade to jQuery 1.5.
I'm learning jQuery with XML. I'm familiar with other query languages such as XPath. I'm having a little bit of difficulty wrapping my brain around how jQuery works but I think I can make the leap if I see a solution to a problem I know how to solve with other methods Given the following XML, please share a jQuery solution to finding the value of attribute B in elements named bar where attribute A has the value 30:
I have a costestimatorslider using jquery ui slider as:
$(function() {
As you can see I can add the value from the slider ui.value without any problem.Now I would like to be able to ADD or Extract the$('.cost') value to other value as Total(total=parseInt($('#total').html());.) which is Sum of some other calculations stored in a HTML table cell in the page as:
I tried to do it by this way butFirstof all it doubled the value which makesense and it's wrong!, besides itcouldn'textract the cost from the total.
when i click on a <a> tag with class poplight this works fine. But when i add another anchor tag dynamically to my page (without a page reload, via ajax) like below...
and if i click on that anchor tag that was no placed on top of my first row it does not call the click event instead i can see the variables i tried passing through that anchor tag on my url.
any clue why this is happening.... i donot get any errors as well on firebug.
I have two problems that I suspect will be bread-and-butter problems for the more experienced guys on here, but I'm not the greatest with js.
NB: Code snippets at the bottom
The first problem is that after a bit of fiddling I'm getting am 'Object Expected' error when I click on the Depot dropdown which I can't seem to get round. The code I had was working OK but then I cut it all out, tidied it all up, and put it back in and now it doesnt work.
The second problem is a 'How do I...'. I'm using an XML data island to retrieve some data without submitting the form. In the first example, when the user selects a Customer, the Depot list is updated with all the depots for that customer; This all works fine. What I want to do now is retrieve some more data when the Depot is selected.
I have the XML bits working; the js code snippet correctly output a series of msgboxes with the correct value in (or at least it did until I introduced the Object Expect error!).
However, I'm unsure as to how to display this information on the page. The XML contains a series of Part No's and Quantities, which I'd like to display in a table towards the bottom of the screen. The problem is that I don't know how to dynamically create and populate this table.
The only caveat is that I dont want to show the table if no values are returned from the query....
I sometime find it useful to add my own attribute to a HTML tag so that my javascript can access those elements. For instance, new_attribute in the following anchor tag:
When trying to validate this page, however, it doesn't pass. Some of the below questions likely do not make sense, but I hope you get the idea what I am looking for:Is what I am doing bad practice?Is there another way to allow javascript to specifically select just some elements and not others? Should I instead apply multiple classes to the element, and use some of the classes not to modify appearance, but to allow just them to be selected?If using custom attributes, should they somehow be defined so they pass validation?
