Navigating Text String That Contains HTML Of A Page As DOM Object?
Mar 21, 2006
First, with AJAX I will get a remote web page into a string. Thus, a
string will contain HTML tags and such. I will need to extract text
from one <span> for which I know the ID the inner text.
Is it possible to access in this way "string variable".getElementByID()
somehow?
PS: Just thinking of a proper/efficient way to extract the information
from such a string. I am open to other ideas. I could load that page in
IFRAME and get my access to DOM that way, yet probably it is not an
eligant solution.
after i've built an element, can i convert that element to html? the current method i'm thinking is to append this element to a new <Div> and call the Div's innerHTML but it feels rather dirty. is there a better solution?
I am using O'Reilly's book on building apps with HTML, CSS, and Javascript,It uses jQuery.Chapters 4 & 5 show us how to use a database. It really works well! I'm making small changes to fit my own mobile application. I've run into one problem: The page has <li>'s to link to anchors on the same page, like this:
<li class="arrow"><a href="#dates">About</a></li>
However, I want to link to another html page. I find I'm unable to do so. The following attempts don't work; that is, clicking on them will make the row change color, but won't change the page:
I have a question about using embedded Google Videos on my site. Does anyone have tips for allowing user to switch between videos (5) on the same page? The caveat is that only one would be showing at a time. I imagine it would require javascript coding. If so, would you have any examples?
I'm trying to accomplish the following, preferably using jQuery, find this string on a page (it occurs only once).. 'BC-' and then, depending on the page i'm on either - add a simple <br/> tag before it, or enclose in it within a span tag with a class. adding the span would be more complicated because 3 numbers follow the BC- ex: BC-103.
There must be some fundamental difference between changing an image or iframe "src" and changing an object's "data" that totally escapes me because the above script won't update/refresh/reload/change the existing embedded page (page1.html) to page2.html.
I have run the script with an "alert(document.getElementById('thing').data)" tacked onto the end of the above script, and it does, in fact, return "page2.html" in the dialogue box. So, maybe, I just need to refresh the object (without reloading the whole page!)?
I've noticed that <object> is usually used with applets and flash and sound and there seem to be commands to "run" them, but I can't find any terms to handle updating an embedded html document. Maybe there really just isn't any way to do this yet aside from iframe?
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <title>JQuery test 1</title>

When I open page2.html, and click on the brnClick link, it changes the content of divclick. If I open page1.html, and then navigate to page2.html, click on the link does not work.
I am doing an internship at a company and am working on an existing site. The Company wants the expanding menu to stay expanded when you click a link to go to another page while navigating. I am very new to Javascript, CSS, and html and could really use some insight or code example.

My background is C++ and C#. Using basic selectors and filters in jQuery is not a problem for me. My problem is finding the right jQuery code to capture a live html page and assign an object which contains all the html text I just captured... then I can use the object to apply basic selector and filter functions to create another page.
I had a problem with my previous approach in javascript so i thought of another strategy, to work with java. How can i pass the DOM of the current web page that is the HTML page to java, so that i can parse the DOM and i need to extract the internal contents of the script tags in the page and evaluate them apart from running in the webpage.
How can i pass the dom object to java and evaluate the scripts contents from java.
I can view plain text public data from a government web page. But I want to capture that text and put it into a string var in a javascript to parse the data for display in a very different way (create graphical indicators).
1. How do I get the www.webtext.gov/textpage.txt into a string var. 2. I would prefer to use pure javascript as my users are very diverse and not all of them have recent brosers (IE8 or 9, Firefox 4, 5 or 6, etc.). 3. I would be able to use php on the server if that would do it.
I have be days searching the web for a solution but have found none that suits my purpose.
I've got a requirment to copy some content from an HTML page. It is a failry lengthy page and we want to give the user/reader the ability to click a button and have a section of the page copied to the clipboard, or at the very least selected so they can just right click and copy it. The issue is that text/content to be selected/copied is not in a textarea.
I've got it in a div right now and can get the innerHTML of the div and set a text area to that but it comes in with all of the HTML tags and so when I copy it to notepad I get all of the tags which is what I dont want.
Has anyone done this before? I've tried numerous things to get it to work and have had no luck.
I would like to select a text, in my HTML page. Is that possible? About the page [URL], it seems to be not allowed by jQuery... For exemple if my document is:
<html> Hello word! </html>
I would like to select each "l" letter and replace by L [URL]. But I don't know how to select just a text.

suppose i have a html page with text, links and what ever else a page contains. On selection of Text on the html page i want to raise some event that will do something. But what that event is known as? By text selection i mean placing mouse pointer to some text and left clicking and moving the mouse either to left or right. Now when user selects some portion of text and releases the mouse's left click button a event should be raised. Obviously that event should know what was the selected text. So is it possible ?
I'm building a webpage using javascript and iframes. Basically I have an iframe in the middle of the index.html page that links to another html page (let's call it iframe.html). My question is, is it possible to call a javascript function from iframe.html to control an object on index.html? If so, how do I do this? I'd like to be able to assign an image in iframe.html with the hyperlink of href="javascript:function()", where the function effects the CSS of a div on index.html.
