I have the non-standard element
<testele></testele>
In every browser except IE, this bit of JavaScript will successfully change the content of the above element:
document.getElementsByTagName("testele")[0].innerHTML = 'hi';
However, if I change the <testele> to just a <span> (in the HTML and the JavaScript), it now successfully changes the content of the element in every browser, including IE.
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 have some column headings whose widths are set via styles:
<TR>
<TD style="visibility:hidden;width:0px"> </TD>
<TD style="visibility:hidden;width:0px"> </TD>
<TD style="visibility:hidden;width:0px"> </TD>
<TD class="head1" style="WIDTH: 120px">Stage</TD>
<TD class="head1" style="WIDTH: 90px">Est. Hours</TD>
<TD class="head1" style="WIDTH: 90px">Est. Delivery</TD>
<TD class="head1" style="WIDTH: 90px">Est. Cost</TD>
<TD class="head1" style="WIDTH: 200px">Comment</TD>
</TR>
When I set the value of a span in a cell using javascript
<TD><Span class="head1" id="TotalHours"
style="width:60px;text-align:right"></span></TD>
idTotal = document.getElementById("TotalHours");
idTotal.innerHTML = total;
all of the table columns shrink to the minimum size for the content,
ignoring the style width settings. Any suggestion as to why this might
be the case?
I'm trying to create a script which allows multiple different tables to be shown on mouseover of an area (in this case, a table cell). However, I want the tables to appear in a long list for those who have JS disabled. For obvious reasons I don't want two copies of the tables in my html, and obviously only want the mouseover section to appear for those with JS enabled.
The basic problems I have so far is that I can't get the div "plaintables" (which contains all the tables) to be hidden when JS is enabled, and when I mouseover (activating scim()), I get the message [object HTMLTableElement] rather than the actual table.
Pretty much just starting out with Javascript, so this is probably something really simple I have done wrong.
Just incase it matters, I don't have access to the contents of the <head> tag (This is for a site with an existing template) - it would be easier if everything could be done in the <body> section.

I'm trying to get a value from a database, assign it to an innerHTML value of a certain element and display this on a web page. Here is how I do this. First I have a js function. Very simple one, here it is:
function get_page_contents(page_name)
{$.post("includes/ajax.php?mode=get_page", {pagename: page_name}, function(data)
{
$('#hed1').html(data.h1);
$('#content').html(data.content);
[Code]...
This javascript function is being invoked upon clicking on a link. The point is that the content's innerHTML is displayed beautiful while I cannot see H1 innerHTML. Its value is NULL instead of expected database value.
I have a <div> tag that is getting updated by calling a php script. Inside of the div's innerHTML, there is a <select> tag.I need to be able to change the div whenever a user changes the select tag. How can I do thisI've been trying to get the select tag, but it doesn't seem to evaluate right.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a situation where I'm trying to assign a value to an elements innerHTML. When I do this, the value is assigned, but it causes havoc on subsequent javascript calls.I realize this is kind of vague but I'm at my wits end on what to do. I've tried assigning the innerHTML value "NA", just plain text, and it has the same effect.Without being too confusing, I have a table of data inside a <div> where the user can navigate up/down by pressing the <enter> key, pg up/pg dn and arrow up/arrow down. When they move from record to record, I'm highlighting the new row and "de-highlighting" the old row. The row has many fields but only one fill in field which is where the user enters the quantity of the item to be ordered. This is on a local network using the Firefox browser.
Without the above line, all is well. When I use the above line, it messes up the highlighting of the row but also makes the fill-in field "appear" disabled. What I mean by that is when you type a number, you don't see the value change (even though the field has focus and the value is selected) but once you leave that line, the value you typed then appears in the fill in. Normally the value will change as you type a new value.
Is there a way I can make this code work:
<script type="text/javascript">
function changeText(){
document.getElementById('boldStuff').innerHTML = 'Fred Flinstone';
}
</script>
<p>Welcome to the site <b id='boldStuff'>dude</b> </p>
<input type='button' onclick='changeText()' value='Change Text'/>
with this:
document.write('<param name=avatarID value=4>');
So when I click the form button it changes the value 4 to Fred Flinstone
I am trying to create a calculator for one of my forms.I am having trouble getting the calculated figure to appear inside a textfield though (probably extremely simple for you geniuses).But if I give my textfield the id "total" instead the script doesn't append the result.

I have an HTML page having a table and many columns.In that page i have to add new rows and cells dynamically. Adding new rows is working fine using inner HTML.But for particular textboxes i have two buttons namely "edit" and "save".the edit button will make the textbox editable and "save" button will make the textboxes in that row uneditable.Now my question is that as i am adding new rows using innerHTML how to add this functionality (making the textbox editable and uneditable) to the buttons that are dynamically created.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have this code snippet:
updateProps snippet:
if (mycheckbox.checked == Ƈ')
? $('mycheckbox').checked = true
: $('mycheckbox').checked = false;
content = $('mydiv').innerHTML;
html snippet:
<div id="mydiv">
<input id="mycheckbox" class="checkbox" type="checkbox" value=""
tabindex="14" onchange="(this.checked) ? checkVal = Ƈ' : checkVal =
Ɔ'updateProps(checkVal, 'mycheckbox')" />
</div>
The problem is that when I display the contents of content it doesnt
have 'checked'. But if I alert($('mycheckbox').checked); it says it is
true
Is this a problem with innerHTML not grabbing the correct data or the
checkbox not actually being checked?
I have a function which, using AJAX (No problem here, definitely returns data), returns a list of <OPTION> elements to the client. Using Javascript I am trying to re-populate a <SELECT> element with its children.
This process works perfectly for Firefox but with IE6 the <SELECT> list stays blank!!
Can anyone shed any light on what the problem is/might be using IE6? I have posted some sample code below..
Javascript snippet
if (xmlHttp.readyState==4 || xmlHttp.readyState=="complete"){
document.getElementById("cboArea").innerHTML=xmlHttp.responseText;
}
HTML snippet
<label for="cboArea">Area:</label>
<select id="cboArea" name="cboArea" style="WIDTH: 65%">
<option value="0">Choose an area...</option>
...
!! Originally filled from database source !!
...
</select>
As I said previously the return from AJAX call works fine as I have displayed the results using an alert(); method call and also this it works in Firefox.

In order to design a custom select element look in my site, I was messing with the css and opacity value to fade the actual select box and put a background image in a div right above the select element. The functionality of the select box is preserved no matter if opacity is set to 0, so I was able to accomkplish my goal.But, that worked for every other browser around except IE6.Is there a please someone there that encountered this problem and possibly knows some kind of workaround?
