JQuery :: .find() Not Working On <link> Node In XML Document?
Sep 10, 2009
I've got a semantic XML document, for which I'm using $.get successfully to extract <title> and description> nodes. The <link> node does not work, however. It returns blank. Strange, since I can see in Firebug that $(this) has 4 children, and link is in there.
I am writing a programmatically control the focus (basically what I want is to transform "tab" to "enter")... why do I want such a non standard thing? Customer request... and since he is paying, I have to implement it.
Now, currently I solved the problem by finding the next element with a greater "tabIndex" value, but that forces me to configure tabIndex values for everything in my form... and that is specially problematic because some of my UIs are generated dynamically with information in the database...
So, what I want, is to find the next ":input" element traversing the DOM tree in the same way the focus moves when pressing the "tab" key... that should be something like "find the next sibling that is ":input"... if none found, go to parent node, got to sibling of parent node, look in there... if none found, and this parent has no next sibling, go to the parent of the parent and repeat operation recursively..
is there (somewhere) a jQuery plugin (or method) that already does this? Or do I need to write it?
i'm trying check the value for a node that is loaded with ajax, and to check it every certain time (3 seconds). I've come this far, but don't know where to go from here:
What I am coding now is a piece of a much larger project that I am, for the moment, developing on my own. This code, relatively useless on its own, is essentially practice or proof -of-concept. Much of it will probably be used in the larger project. If at times, it seems that I am using a cannon to kill a fly, this is why.
Additionally, I do not claim credit for all the code here. Some of it is copied from other sources. I have studied it, understood it , then modified it appropriately, making it my own.
However, the code is broken. I have tested it on Internet Explorer 9.0.??? and Firefox 4.0.1. It breaks in both browsers. I have previously tested it in Chrome, but not recently. On IE I have used the built in debugger, and I have been using Firebug in Firefox. I have also used the debugger at [URL] quite frequently. JSLINT returns some 'Bad Type' errors regarding 12 lines in the html body, each having the structure: <td><input /></td>. I can find no explanation for the 'Bad Type' errors. Otherwise, according to JSLINT, the code is fine.
The predecessor to this code worked fine. I had been using inline event handlers (onblur and oninput) that called the doMath function when one enters data into the table. The values are then averaged and summed. All this is extremely basic. The problem began when I removed the inline event handlers and began to use window.onload (I believe I am using document.onload now, but the problem has not changed.)
I have adopted Douglas Crockford's 'walkTheDom' recursive function to find all tags with a particular class name. I would like to assign every element in the array returned by this function an event handler.
This is the problem: This script simply cannot find the body node of the DOM ( and, seemingly, none of its child nodes either). Initially I tried 'document.body', which failed. I then began with 'this' (essentially 'document') and tried walking the DOM to get to it ('body') eventually. This, too, failed. I tried array index notation to refer to it(I forget the specific syntax), and most recently, I've given it ('body') an id and referred to it directly using 'document.getElementById()'. These most recent attempts also failed.
After hours of figuratively bashing my head against the wall looking at code and probably even more time doing research online, I am extremely frustrated. As often seems to be the case, my problem is probably simple
I have included most of the code, even though it is a little long. This way you may easily copy the code and reproduce the problem yourself. I do not often post to forums, and, more relevant, I have no idea where the error may be located.
Potential problem areas are in RED.

I have a Javascript that gets data from an XML document and displays it through javascript. The problem is that when I do dcfile.getElementsByTagName("subhead")[0].firstChild.nodeName all I get is #text. Can you tell me why? Code:
I am trying to remove a child node from an XML document and running into issues. I keep getting errors about not being able to find the child node, even though it very clearly exists.I think the issue is that most examples I've tried to follow only have the root element, then the nodes, but I have a root element, then another level (mapSettings & mapObjects). I don't know how to tell the remove child command that it needs to look in the mapObjects section.
I keep on getting a error message from internet explorer whenever I try to remove a node from the document. This code obviously works on every other browser but internet explorer. What am I doing wrong here?
var elem = document.getElementsByTagName("div")[2]; elem.removeChild(document.getElementById("loginContent")); elem.removeChild(document.getElementById("loginContainerLayer"));
I have an AJAX application using which im attempting to acces a #Text node in the NAME tag of a XML document. i then want to sort the names and place them into tables <td> tag. i can put the names in the <td> but i want them sorted alphabetically. from my understanding im suppose to be able to sort an array simply like this Array[].sort();..............this is the reason i need the text to be an array. Unless you know a simpler way to do this.
Code:
function postNames(){ var signersdoc = xmlHttp.responseXML; var container = document.getElementsByTagName("td");
How to find various elements in the document with jQuery?
Example.
I want to find two tags - <span> and <p>.
I'm trying to use jQuery.find, but he search of one in one.End does not return what elements were found, and how many were. And how do you know which elements have been found?
I'm trying find a text in all document with jQuery, for example: It searches the text with % in front, and then adds a tag "a" after the text. <body> %ilovejquery <div id="im>%ilovejquery</div> <p>%ilovejquery</p> </body>
In addition to seeking the text, I wanted to add a link around each. Example: <body> %<a href="#">ilovejquery</a> <div id="im">%<a href="#"> ilovejquery</a></div> <p>%<a href="#"> ilovejquery</a></p> </body> </body> I think with REGEX is avaliable and $.each method.
@ page.load the init() function on this page will find everything just fine. However if I call init() after the load it does not find the referenced controls. My goal is to set the imageurl in the hidden "imageurl" textbox, then call init from the treeview to reload the image. Not rocket science, IF I could get it to find the controls.
What I don't get is the results from the "get objects" text box I put at the top. If I look though all the elements on the page, shouldn't I see a heck of a lot more than this?
I'm new to jQuery and I'm having a bit of a problem manipulating AJAX results with jQuery methods.
I use an AJAX get and execute the find() method on the resulting output. But this seems to work only once. Subsequent attempts using the same selector in the find() argument don't work. Different selectors will work, but again, only once.
What i need, is to make the script to find a link, and click it. In example..
There is a page, with 10 links, everytime you load the page, the links changes (it starts like normal, but has diferent endings), so i need the script to find the link that i need, and click it.
