JQuery :: Changing Css Properties Of One Element By Another
Feb 10, 2011
I have a billion elements that all share the same class. I have another billion elements that all share another class. This cannot be changed. My objective is to use one element to trigger onclick a change in the others elements' css properties, that is each element is paired with another, producing a billion unique pairs. From hours of deciphering the cryptic documentation examples ive come up with the following, which doesnt work. Assume that im using "name=item#" in the element's tag to identify each pair.
One fundamental issue with this is that it will change the opacity of both elements in the pair were both elements to share a name,or it will only affect the element being clicked on if not, but i only want it to change the opacity of the element that isnt being clicked. Another issue is that there are instances where i may need to set a setTimeout on a css property, and ive not found any documentation on integrating javascript and jquery together within a function.So how do i get this function to accept input from one element and affect the css properties of the other? And what would a setTimeout look like if it were placed around the opacity property?
Now, when I click on the header row, I would like to hide a column, and when I click on an image, I'd like to restore it. Ideally, I would have a function like such:
// simplified to remove all the try/catches & stuff function newXHR() { request = new XMLHttpRequest(); XMLHttpRequest.prototype.requested = null; return request; }
then later:
function doRequest(url, callback) { var req = newXHR(); req.requested = url;
// et cetera.... }
This works fine in Firefox, however the line 'req.requested = url' causes an error in IE7, (I haven't tested IE6 yet). The error is 'Object doesn't support this property or method'
So, this leads me to believe that either a) XMLHttpRequest.requested is not writable, or, b) XMLHttpRequest.requested was never created in the first place. I think it's the first option because I'm not getting an error in the newXHR() function.
I've been searching for some documentation on this but I can't seem to find anywhere if properties created with the prototype keyword are writeable in IE. Does anyone know what the problem is?
I have an object on the document element that allows for other components to register with it, i have a custom event something along$(document).bind("register",function(thechild)..So in the child object when they are created i call$(document).trigger("register",this);And indeed i get the DOM object. However i'm looking for the plug in object, i want to be able to call methods on the passed childobject and access it's Config.Does that make sense? How can i write a plug in that is applied to various objects that also registers itself with an 'overseer' object on the document element in such a way that i can allow that overseer object to call methods on any registered child objects?
I am currently working on a tween script that I am hoping to make so it allows the user to choose and object than the property it tweens, whether it be height or opacity.so currently my problem is getting the function to accept dynamic property selction.for example, the following.
Code: function tween(object,property,to,time){ original = object+property;
Is this possible with JQuery? I have the following code which I think Should do this, but it's not working :/These are two different functions which I've been testing, and the html element is supposed to create a dropdown list via some PHP which will have the option "Other" within it. Unfortunately, I have no idea exactly how to turn "Other" into a text box when the user clicks, and I've been spending a lot of time on this already.
I am working on a little javascript project, and I need to get an arbitrary element's style information.
For instance, I want a method that you can pass a reference to an object, and for instance, find the current css height property that applies to it, no matter where it was declared. I don't mind it returning a null value if it wasn't set anywhere, but if it's coming from some css class or some css id or some locally defined style, I want to know what is being expressed.
If I just try el.style.height, it only lets you know what the height is if it was explicitly defined in the style tag.
How do I restore CSS properties for a selected element? I want to change the background-color of a particular item on click, then restore the original CSS bgcolor from the stylesheet when it's clicked a 2nd time.
The item in question has a CSS class applied to it from the stylesheet.
I have 1 form, and dozens of elements. In the select elements I use onchange="somefunc()". In this function I'd like to access and change the form element attributes (such as form.element.option[].value and form.element.option[].innerHTML).
Is there a way to access the element that has just changed (unsing onchange="somefunc()") by passing a "this.element" parameter to access the elements properties such as form.element.option[].value within the function?
On a page I display a link of search results which are hyperlinks, which all have the same URL get paramaters with different values (i.e. companyreport.aspx?....). I want to then click on a search result hyperlink and then generate a Div popup (this is called through a javascript call that is attached to each search result hyperlink's onClick property.
For the hyperlink that is clicked, I need to take its 'href' value and use it (reason for us is in a bit).
On the popped up Div element is a dropdown box and two buttons (accept / decline). Once the accept button is pressed, I want to then go to the page the selected hyperlink was pointing to by using the 'href' value I obtain from the clicked search hyperlink and to also append to this hyperlink the a new GET parameter and the value of the dropdown box.
I have got this to work currently but it seems quite mess, so was wondering if there is a better solution to this.
I am dynamically building a part of my HTML page by setting the innerHTML of a DIV element. Immediately after I do that I try to retrieve the clientHeight and clientWidth of the DIV element in order to determine what height and width the element actually ended up being. But I always get 0 as both the height and width. The contents of the DIV, i.e. the HTML code that I inserted into it via the innerHTML, does indeed get displayed on the page. But I suspect that the browser doesn't actually update the page until AFTER my JavaScript code has completed and "returns control" to the browser.
Does that make sense? Is there any way I can force the browser to update the page BEFORE my code completes its processing, so that I can properly retrieve the width and height of the element I just inserted into the page?
I'm using jQuery so when I focus on the third text box, a fourth text box automatically appears.So, this all works really well... once. The problem is, my new input doesn't register in the DOM as being the new ":last" input in my <div>. So if I focus on the 3rd input, it will create a 5th, 6th, 7th, etc. input, but the DOM's currentTarget remains the 3rd input box, not the last one in the list.How do I refresh the DOM, or change the currentTarget to be the last input in the div, instead of remaining on the third?
I am attempting to change the style after the user has loaded the page(every x number of seconds) but the element just doesn't seem to berefreshing. I have done all of the checking, and it seems like it ischanging it but it isn't showing that on the page.
how to add extra properties to html elements as I was storing data in html attributes. After looking at some others code including Raphael and this addEvent code. [URL] They seem to treat objects just like an array. obj[property] = value; This would have been extremely helpful to know previously as I have needed to be able to include variables in property names - but have resorted to making the whole thing a string and calling exec() on it.
Is the form below a valid method of changing the id of an XHTML element, specifically the one actually being referenced? It does not seem to work for me.
How would I go about chaning the ID element tag through Java?
I want to create a function that checks through all the ID tags called mytag and then append to the end of it mytag0 or whatever number comes next. I was trying to disable many form objects in my html document and since they share the same ID It only disables the first ID it encounters so Instead of manually renaming them al, Id rather create a function that would search for the Id name mytag and just change the name with whatever number, Im guessing it will work fine because once it renames the ID tag it will pick up the next ID because it will be next in line with the name and just While Loop the whole thing untill such ID is not found. I do not know how to reassign ID's.
Anyway, i need to change the selected item in a select dropdown list in html. Obviously i want to change it with javascript. For example i've got tree items add/edit/delete and if the user presses add (button) the selected item will be add.
Making a website for a salon with a box that says "I want [dropdown box, i.e. wash and blow dry] which will cost XX" The idea being they select what they want from the dropdown box and it automatically changes the �XX to reflect the price.
How on earth do you use javacript to change the text color of an input element, and have it work with IE??? I've tried numerous solutions. All of them work on browsers such as Mozilla. But none of them work on IE.
This works in every browser I've tried besides IE:
I've tried other things as well. Nothing works in IE. Is there anyway to change the text color inside an input box dynamically, and have it work in IE?
