I have a javascript function which uses the method
document.getElementById.
I'm using it to decide whether a checkbox has been ticked or not. This
decision is encoded in an if statement with the condtion being
if (document.getElementById(checkboxtoupdate).value ==1)
/* The Code */
function set(object)
{
var checkboxtoupdate = object.value;
The "object" accesses a html tag which has an value attribute e.g
value="7400"
However Netscape Navigator 7.1 does not seem to recognise
"document.getElementById(checkboxtoupdate).value"
and reports an error that
document.getElementById(checkboxtoupdate).value has no properties.
But Internet Explorer has no problem with this at all.
Is there another way to do this so as to be recognised by Netscape 7.1?
I am sure this is a simple issue, but being a beginner I am struggling. In the following js function I am attempting to make sure no numbers are within "name" controls. I want to pass the text value of the HTML control and the control name into the function:
function CheckForNumbers (strString, strField) { var result = true; var validNums = "0123456789"; var alertHeader = "The following error(s) occured:"; var alertErr = ""; for (x=0; x < strString.length; x++) { if (validNums.indexOf(strString.charAt(x)) != -1) { alertErr += "->This Field Cannot Contain Numbers "; break; } } if (alertErr) { result = false; document.getElementById(strField).focus(); alert (alertHeader + alertErr); } return result; }
I don't know if this is the smartest way to do this, just the way I thought of. The bottom line is I would like the code to check the value to see if there is a number, and set focus back to the offending control for the user to correct the problem. This works without a problem in Internet Explorer, version 6 (latest Service packs, hot fixes, etc), but in Netscape, version 7.2, I am getting the following error in the JavaScript console:
Error: document.getElementById(strField) has no properties Source File: http://127.0.0.1:8100/TestJscript.jsp Line: 104
I have this annoying problem with netscape... I'm trying to access a form value by using getElementByID and in NS i end up with a null reference.
The following HTML is the form component that gives me headache: <form name='task' ...> .... <select name='prioritySelect' class='selectwidth'> <option value=''>Choose one</option> <option value=Ƈ'>Critical</option> <option value=ƈ'>High</option> <option value=Ɖ'>Medium</option> <option value=Ɗ'>Low</option> </select> .... </form>
And the related javascript code: if(document.getElementById("prioritySelect").disabled == false) { ... }
When digging into this I can get the desired information by using document.task.prioritySelect, but that should not be necessary, right?
I hope that anyone knows how to deal with this problem..
I keep getting an error stating "getElementById("ballElement") is null, but I have a div with that exact id. I have looked at the JS script before that line, but found no errors there either. Please take a minute to see if you find something.
I am normally a VB programmer but now I need get a page to work in Mozilla so I am attempting to convert my VBScript to Javascript. The code in VBScript worked fine. The Javascript version is failing. I see this error on Load: Unexpected Token in Attribute Selector: '!'
If I leave the radio buttons alone, input a non-numeric character in the first field for Length and then tab, I get my alert but the value doesn't change to zero. In the error console, I see the following error: document.getElementById(MyField) is null
I found a couple of ideas to try via web search such as document.getElementById(MyField+'') but get same error. [code]...
function run() { for(var k = 0; k < newPhotos.length; k++) {[code]....
I get an error on this line Quotedocument.getElementById(imageId).style.backgroundImage = "url(" + newPhotos[k] + ")"; the error is: QuoteObject Required
I'm just not sure what object they are talking about. This piece of code basically goes through and assigns x amount of divs a background image.
I modified a little a script from dynamicdrive.com (Animated Collapsible DIV v2.01[URL]... It works well, but something is wrong. When you click on the button image a javascript error popup appears:
An error exists inside your "ontoggle" function: TypeError: document.getElementById(divobj.id + "_info-toggle") is null Aborting execution of function.
You can see it in: http://cineout.es/div_test/divs_test2.html
I'm getting the following problem. The reason is that the object appears through AJAX. But if I choose it NOT to appear it gives this problem. How can I avoid this? I put an if statement inline
I've got what should be a simple assignment of either an element value or a default string to a variable, but when the element doesn't exist I get an "Object required" error rather than an assignment of the default value.
I originally used the simple statement:
var v = document.getElementById('foo').value || parent.document.getElementById('foo').value || 'unknown' document.writeln(v);
This caused the "Object required" error if there was no element, so I added some error checking:
var v = (document.getElementById) ? document.getElementById('foo').value : (parent.document.getElementById) ? parent.document.getElementById('foo').value : 'unknown' document.writeln(v);
Unfortunately, this still results in an "Object required" error when the element is not present in the document or its parent.
I want to restrict getElementById to search children of a specific element instead of searching the entire document, in the same way that I can do getElementsByTagName using a specific element as the parent.
In this particular instance the parent is a table and the elements I'm interested in are all TDs, so I did the basic getElementsByTagName('TD') off the table and looped through this array checking the IDs. However, I'm suspecting that the browser can do getElementById faster than I can do a loop in javascript. Is there a neater way to do this? For now, I'll settle for IE-only solutions, though it would be nice to have things work in generic browsers.
I am creating a site that will use a Client-Side Include (CSI) to dynamically generate an ad banner to be placed on the right hand side of the page. It loads great in IE5 and above and Netscape 7 and even loads fine in Netscape 4.7. The problem is when the user resizes the window, the ad banner that was generated is then placed at the bottom of the page. I even look at the HTML of that particular page and the CSI is thrown into the bottom portion of the site. I am perplexed as to how it just throws it down AND knows where in the HTML code to insert itself.
If anyone has any ideas on how to stop this snippet of code placing itself anywhere in the site, I would appreciate any help. Again, it LOADs fine but when the user decides to re-size the window, it just moves it down to the bottom of the site.
I've got a trouble with my script, i want to show a <div> on Netscape and it doesn't work: Here is the script
//navigators identification
var ie4=(document.all && !document.getElementById)? true:false var ie5=(document.all && document.getElementById)? true:false var n4=(document.layers)? true:false var n6=(!document.all && document.getElementById)? true:false
I created a menu bar for my page using Sothink DHTML Menu 4.1 which created javascript file. I also add a small slide show on the page using javascript and the javascript is embedded in this page's HTML.
Everything works perfectly with IE. However, Netscape (4, 6, 7) can't see the menu bar created in DHTML when the slideshow javascript is present.
If I just have the menu bar or slideshow alone on the page, Netscape can see it, but it seems that Netscape always ignores the DHTML script when both javascripts are present. Not sure what is going.
I have tried to put the slideshow javascript in the .js file that has the DHTML code for menu bar, but it didn't work either.
I just installed the LoveSan security patch from MSFT and turned on Auto-Update. Now applets do not load. I tried getting Netscape 7.1 but it directs me to the Sun page to install JRE. I do this but still neither IE or NS will load applets. Tried downloading some from various websites with free applets but these do not work either. Any ideas?
var win = window.open('', 'window_name', 'parameters'); win.document.write(strHtml); win.document.close(); win.focus();
My problem concerns the tag "onLoad " of the "BODY" tag: with IE, the "fonc_onLoad()" starts normally (this function is in "my_script.js"), but with NS 4.7 (ou 4.51), the <SCRIPT> tag is ignored (you can view the window's source code), so the "fonc_onLoad()" function cannot not start.
i have a netscape and IE incompatibility problem. when i change the text size in netscape everything looks fine and all frames text size change. but when i change the text size in IE just one frame change!
I'm making a website in both english and italian languages. I thought to make a javascript function that automates the switch from one lang to the other, reloading the same page. It works fine with IE, but when I tried to view it on a Netscape7 browser, nothing happen when I click on the link. Code:
I guess because IE once again has its own variations this works or Netscape isn't following the dom I don't know which but I was hoping this type of navigation was going to be dom compliant with the newest versions of Netscape
If you have a table with the id "bob" (I like dumb names sometimes) you should be able to navigate down the table via bob.firstChild.childNodes[1].innerHTML. This does not work in netscape but does work in IE. I find this troubling because of how much easier things would have been if it worked in both. I really just wish the browsers would become equal.
The dom specification is here (outdated I believe) http://www.w3.org/TR/1999/CR-DOM-Lev...roduction.html
Thats the specification and how it supposedly works. I am going to keep playing and figure out if maybe Netscape 'changed' it. for an example try this Code:
i tried everything to open a new window of smaller size in Netscape, just couldn't do it. Is it my own Netscape browser setting or Netscape itself's problem?
here's one of the code im using:
<A HREF="javascript:void(0)"
'welcome','width=300,height=200')"> Open a new window</A>
