I just started to learn jquery. The sitepoint book I picked up and my online research did not yield any results for what I am trying to do.
Basically I have a ul with li in it. I have the ul's width set so that only 4 LI's are displayed in one row and then the next set of 4 gets displayed in next row, etc.
Can I use jquery to simply say 'after each set of 4 li, insert a graphic' .. or insert some html code.
I want a graphical separator between sets of <li>'s
I'm working on a navigation menu where I want to insert some html after a UL element.
Here's the statement: selUL.eq(x+1).after('<b>hello</b></div><div class="subMenu">'); I'm trying to insert it after the following <ul> element: <div class="subMenu"> <ul
[Code]...
It's like it's trying to auto correct me. I need it to print everything exactly as I have it, otherwise my navigation won't divide into separate columns. Anyone have an idea why it's doing this? If I remove the <div> elements and just use the <b> element it works fine.
EDIT: After some more testing, the After method seems to strip out any closing elements not yet opened (</div>) and automatically closes any elements opened but not closed (<div class="subMenu">). Anyone know of a way to stop this from happening?
I stumbled upon something which may be by design in jQuery for security reasons, it may be the browsers doing it, but... I found that any JavaScript I try to put into the html of an object is ignored. For example, say username is a variable that was already defined with the user's name:
$("#test").html("Hi there <script type='text/ javascript'>document.write(username);</script>. ");
All the script is just stripped out, in both IE and Firefox.
I am using $().html to manipulate DOM elements, as an example:
jQuery('#basic).html(..some data...);
I then alter the DOM using a div and id as part of the HTML document. For example.
<div id='basic>change this</div>
This is absolutely fine when manipulating simple things (like numbers or text such as the above) - but when I wish to manipulate a specific attribute of an element wrapped within a div
At the moment I am using $().html to insert the entire element and its attribute list, but this is very cumbersome,inelegantand fault prone (and doesn't seem to work well using JSON).
I can't seem to find a method to Modify Attribute !!
I am not sure - I made ajax call through jquery form plugin, return response is HTML fragments, and inserted to a <div> place holder, work as expected.However, previous HTML segments have binding events (such as click) seems lost after the insertion ... is this expected behavior? and what are the proper way to re-instate those events?
My plan was to insert an HTML string from a JSON file into the DOM. As an example for the format, see [url]. I was wondering how I could get the parse.text['*'] inserted into the DOM.
I am trying to add some HTML into a <p> element by using an AJAX request that gets a txt file with my HTML in it. That code works fine but the problem I get is that I need to enter in the path to the file dynamically. I guess I could use PHP on the server for this but I am not sure how (im not too good with PHP yet, but it is installed on my server). C# would work too as I have .NET configured as well (but again I dont know it very well).[code]I would like to replace the "linkHere" with the file path attribute I am grabbing from an XML file.I am doing that like this:$(this).attr('filePath').substr(3).replace("\","/")+$ 9this).attr('label');this works fine to make the path correctly but I need a way to inject this into the HTML/txt file to replace the "linkHere".I have an <img>with an onclick event that calls a function I made to do all this.
However what i'd like to do is submit the form items using serializeArray but then return multiple items from the php script and insert them in multiple places on the page, not just in the form itself.
I know i could simply use that line of code 4 times over with 4 different html targets but i don't feel it is very efficient or DRY. So i'd like to know the best way to submit multiple values to a php script, return multiple responses and use those responses in multiple places in the html.
I have known insertBefore which insert HTML tag before another HTML tag. Now I want insert HTML tag AFTER another HTML tag. I searched, but not found. There isn't insertAfter ....
I have this site that uses AJAX, I have a basic understanding of AJAX and javascript.[code]This is executed with a onclick event on a div tag. The supposed reaction is for the ajax to pull echoed html code (an image and a title inside a <p> tag) from the write2.php page which has no problems and replace whatever is inside of the Div tag with that. The Div tag by the way already has an image and a title inside a <p> tag.[code]
I am trying to use the lalit.lab font detector in order to serve different style sheets based on what fonts the user has installed. My problem is that I don't know how to insert the <link rel="stylesheet" href="/stylesheets/css1.css"> into the HTML via javascript. The code I have is something like this (i know it's not actually javascript code):
Code: if (detective.test('candara')) { // tests if the font is installed <link rel="stylesheet" href="/stylesheets/css1.css"> // here it should write to the html la link to the css } else { <link rel="stylesheet" href="/stylesheets/css2.css"> }
I found something but it only works with html elements:
The following code (HTML) generates a table. Now I'd like to insert a new row by a javascript.
The following code (javascript) works with the Internet Explorer and also with Mozilla. However, the inserted button (onClick) in the table does not work with the Internet Explorer. It only works with Mozilla. Code:
I want to have some text in an html file, but I don't want to have several paragraphs in that file. Can I use Javascript to insert text from a different location? If so, how do I do that?Can it really be impossible? I mean, you do it with pictures all the time... I just want to do it with text instead...I can't post any code because I don't know how to do it. >_>" I've been trying to find stuff online, but most of that was to put a whole window inside it, with scrollbars and stuff.
I have about 10 JQuery Books and they all talk about using Ajax(JQuery Load function) to insert either an HTML page or fragments of an HTML page into another page.
However, amazingly none of these books mentioned getting multiple items using the same function(document.ready).
Here is what I mean. I have a document.ready function which I use to get specific content from a page. However, to get additional items, I need to set up additional document.ready function.
So if I was retrieving 3 sets of content from a page, I will set up my script like this:
Code:
And the HTML
Code:
Is there a leaner better way to do this? Again all the books tells you how to grab a content, which I have done but do I have to create a new function for each item?
I actually use a counter on a webpage (It works). To do it, I use an inline javascript but I would like to unify the entire page and call that counter directly in the external Javascript that manages the whole site.
Here's the actual code... Code: HTML <body onLoad=gen_hits()> ... <span id='hits'></span><SCRIPT language="JavaScript" SRC="[URL]"></SCRIPT> ... </body>
EXTERNAL JAVASCRIPT (ini.js) var hits="HITS "; function gen_hits() { document.getElementById("hits").innerHTML=hits; }
And here a "view" of my request... Code: HTML <body onLoad=gen_hits()> ... <span id='hits'></span> ... </body>
EXTERNAL JAVASCRIPT var hits="HITS " + <SCRIPT language="JavaScript" SRC="[URL]"></SCRIPT>; function gen_hits() { document.getElementById("hits").innerHTML=hits; } How to modify it ?
I am creating a small CMS module for a client. I created a little form and when they click Submit, it goes straight out into an include (.inc) file, which is connected to the web page to be displayed.
The trouble I am having is that I'd like to create an additional button that will insert some text (certain html tags to make their life easier, etc) - I got it to work, actually. The script executes and the text is inserted - but once the script runs and the page refreshes (or whatever it does), the text then disappears. The only way I can seem to get it to stay put is when I use "onmouseup" instead of "onclick" - which means that every time the user accidentally mouses over the thing, it inserts the text.
I have some JS that flash cs4 generated when I published my swf. I am trying to do some AJAX and download the SWF and then insert it into the page's DIV tag. How can I do this. Code below: AC_FL_RunContent(
I'm making a cms, and one of the pages requires that I be able to create a new DIV, and be able to re-order the DIVs on the page.
When I first go to the page there will be essentially one DIV container, into which the user can type text. He can then either insert a new DIV above or below the current one and click-drag the divs to re-order them.
I'm new to jquery so I'm not sure this is the right tool for the job. I've also thought about doing the DIV insertion with Ajax, and the DIV re-ordering with jquery.
Here's what I want to do. Get the value of one field and insert it into another. The catch is I don't know the IDs or names of the fields. I can select the first element using the title and put thecontents into a variable. I have not been able to figure out how put that variable into the second field (basic text input) which I have selected by the title again. I've tried attr(), prop(), text(), val(), etc...
var ct = $("select[title$='Content Type'] option:selected").text(); $("select[title$='SPForm']") ?????? = ct;
If it can't be done this way is there a way to get the ID after I've selected by title?
