JQuery :: Appending, Setting Attributes, Text To An XML DOM Object?
Oct 8, 2010
I am having an issue appending, setting attributes, text on the root node. Below is a sample of the code that performs this task (nLevel, nID, and sText are variables passed in by the containing function. XMLDOM is an XML DOMDocument object:
I'm working on an app, which createsvisualizations based on SVG. I was using jQuery SVG by Keith Wood at first [URL], but at some point I've noticed that it's very inconvenient for some stuff and wrote my own functions to handle everything. One of the quirks when creating svg trees dynamically is that you have to create all elements and set attributes using the SVG namespace ("[URL]"), otherwise they aren't rendered correctly by browsers.
Here's an example of how you create a text element... var svgns = "[URL]"; var newText = document.createElementNS(svgns,'text'); newText.setAttributeNS(null,"x","0"); newText.setAttributeNS(null,"y","0"); $(newText).text("some text"); $(svgGroup).append(newText);
There doesn't seem to be a way to do that more effectively using jQuery. For instance, you can't use attr to set multiple attributes, since it won't use setAttributeNS.
I'm just starting to pick up on jQuery and I'm a bit stuck.What I am trying to do is take the following XML response and obtain the src attribute from each image. I then want to append that value to an array.
XML Code XML: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
given a cell from a table... function Tbl_GetCell(tbl, row, col) { var theRow = tbl.getElementsByTagName("tr")[row]; return theRow.getElementsByTagName("td")[col]; }
I can set attributes like width, height, and align, but how can I set cell style info?
cell = GetCell(tbl,row,col) these work fine... cell.align = "center"; cell.height = 22; but this doesn't... cell.style = "font-weight: bold; text-decoration: blink"
I'm using window.open to open to display some info in a new window. The info displays correctly, but the resizeable, scrollbars, width, and height attributes don't seem to be setting correctly. The window isn't resizeable, and the width/height is way off.
End result: I want to have buttons along the top of a textarea which will be used to add tags around highlighted text / the text curser thingy. (Basically it will be an edit box like the I am using now to make this post).
Problem at the moment: I want to reference the var to use in the function. e.g.
function addtext(id) { var al = "<div style="text-align:left;"></div>"; document.myform.outputtext.value += id; }
"id" will be defined as "al" in the HTML onclick function, I want this to use "var al" where it says ".value += id;".
HTML:
<form name="myform"> <textarea name="inputtext">Type Here
Trying to add a new property to a non-jQuery object from inside each loop doesn't appear to work: var arguments=new Object(); arguments['ticket']=ticket; arguments['email']=email; arguments['module']=module; arguments['epoch']=new Date().getTime();
var total=0; $('select.category').each(function(){ var name=$(this).attr('id'); var option=$(this).find('option:selected').val(); total+=parseInt(option); arguments[name]=option; });
The 'total' variable works as expected. The the 'arguments' variable doesn't. Almost like a variable scope issue or something. If I put some extra debug code to print out all the property/value pairs, outside each loop I only see original four, and inside each loop only the new one just set and none of the original four.?
I'm having trouble setting up a webplayer on a site. I had set up the player receiving the files and set up a jwplayer with an xml playlist. I am then notified we won't be receiving files just <iframe> and <object> codes. The player I am using only supports this if I get a crossdomain.xml set up and that's not an option. What I need to know is how to set up a playlist that can on click play the selected <iframe> and <object> codes in a player window next to them. I am a beginner with javascript, most of my experience is html.
I have a list of input fields within the form and a button that can be clicked to add new input fields into the form. This works but if any of the input elements have had text entered into them, then this text is cleared when the button is selected. code...
I use the same function as event-driven as well as simulation I simulate the applyTemp() function from the other function, it will shows the error "attributes is null or not an object"
1. function applyTemp(){ 2. try{ 3. var $this = $(this); 4. if ($this.attr('class') == 'details') {
I was hoping I could do something like this in javascript:
var a = {x:1, y:2}; var b = {x:2, z:3}; b.prototype = a;
And then:
b.x => 2 b.y => 2 b.z => 3
The purpose is to set up "b" as an override of "a".
I know it doesn't work that way because "prototype" is not a magic property on any object but constructors only. Is there a way to implement the above without involving a constructor?
Is this possible? Basically I need to grab all the flash objects on the page (done) and then set the wmode to transparent so it doesn't mess up my DHTML menu.
How does one trigger the execution of a method within an object or any other code/function with the setting of an object property?
More elaboration for those who want it:
Suppose we have anObjectType, with a property .description, whose value can be a string, and the value of .description actually describes the structure of anObjectType as a string. (The details are not important about how the structure is described, but if you want something concrete, think of 'anObjectType' as a DOM Node of type NODE_ELEMENT, and ..description as the property .innerHTML.)
When an instance of anObjectType is created, the value of description is created with the instance. Indeed, the value of description may not be set with the construction of anObjectType, but it might be added to the prototype of anObjectType.
But the property .description is not merely read-only. Fetching the value of .description returns the string which describes the structure of the object in a meaningful way.
When .description is set with a value of type string, the string is checked to see if it properly describes a legally formed structured for anObjectType, and the instance (and only that instance) of anObjectType is completely re-built: it might possibly be destructed and then re- constructed, or all properties (but not methods) which involve descendant objects are changed to conform to the described structure.
The question is, the setting of a string value of the property ..description of object anObjectType does not automatically trigger a method/methods (or an exception??) for doing something (such as restructing the object) as a result of the setting of an object property.
If you click the link on [URL].. a form pops up. How do I set the value of the URL text field in the form to be equal to the url of the page it originated for i.e in this instance it the value would be[URL]... i believe would set the value to the current url. What I need is the value of the url the pop up originated from.
on page load, check if there is a query string called frmdate. If there is, I set the text box on the page called "myDate" equal to the query string variable.

I am unable to solve two problems creating a contacts form using dreamweaver CS3. My other problem is posted under the heading, "Modify code created with Dreamweaver CS3, to compare two text feilds". For this posting, can someone please tell me how to modify my code, pasted below, so that the "First Name" and "Last Name" text fields are restricted to accepting only alphabetical characters.
Here's my current code

i have a Json file which is called/summoned from a jscript file which is in turned called from an html file. So the html calls the jscript and then the script calls the json file.
The problem is that only the text of my json file (the other text displays cool) displays incorrectly spanish characters with accents and stuff. So I dont know how to set the charset of the json file. I dont know if i have to do it in the json file or in the jsprit file i already set the charset of the jscript on my html file like this:
I'm trying to make a few SOAP calls using jQuery. What I'd like to be able to do is read the results of my first SOAP call in as XML, convert that to a jQuery DOM object, make modifications using jQuery selectors, and then output the DOM object as XML text and submit it back to the SOAP receiver. So far I've managed to get my SOAP response read in via the $.xmlDOM plugin. My next question is: how can I convert the DOM object this plugin creates to XML easily (and by easily I mean: without running an on-the-flyparser or similar structure over it to extract all the tags etc.)? I've tried using the .xml property to get this, but the DOM object generated by the $.xmlDOM call doesn't have said property. Is there an easy way to convert jQuery DOM objects back and forth between text and object representation?
Im having a problem with the jquery .append in IE8.
Im displaying a model screen of a div section that has been built with the .append method.
The modal works fine in FF and Chrome, but AS USUAL, IE is not working correctly. The data is not being appended to the div. When I put in in IE in IE8 mode it works fine.
I have an object that onmouseover - displays information.I am using element.append method to do that.However, before doing that, I want to clear the object so it displays present content only.Could not find anything like that. Well I found:jQuery.removeData(elementName,[name])and used it, but it doesn't work.
