The Doctype Destroys My Javascript

Jan 11, 2005

I use the following script for a scrolling button, it scrolls down with you if you scroll down.

Only one problem, it only works if I don't use any doctype.
If I do, the script stops working.

But without a doctype my CSS is rendered different, so that's not what I want ofcourse.

Somebody got an idea on this one? Code:

Firefox, Doctype And Javascript

May 9, 2005

I have a section of Javascript code that works a treat in IE but does nothing in Firefox. If we remove the doctype it appears to work, put the doctype back in and it breaks. We need the doctype to remain in so the page renders correctly cross-browser. Code:

JQuery :: UI Hide Destroys The JS In The Target Element?

Sep 15, 2009

I would have wished it under better circumstances. However, I'm having a quite annoying problem. I'm using jQuery UI hide effect and for some reason it messes with the DOM and/or and completely messes up some of my controls.$('#dvucCustomization').hide('fold', {}, 500);Is that the correct way to call the hide effect on a DIV element?I also tried simply:$('#dvucCustomization').hide('fold');and the same result: the JSs I have in the hidden/shown element are not working any more.

Doctype Killing JS In IE?

Dec 9, 2011

I was roughing out a feature I want to add to my site in notepad with no doctype declare.I got it just how I wanted, then realized it didn't work in IE. I added a doctype, it validates at xhtml strict, but it killed IE, while it started adding round corners in IE which wasn't working with no doctype...but now my JS isn't working... So I lost functionality of the JS while adding the round corner style that wasnt working when the JS was mostly working...FF works fine every damn way of course....I uploaded it to http://[url]......Also when it was functioning, the lower set of icons background wasn't showing. You can load that link ^^ in FF to see exactly what I'm going for....it works in ff

css:
body {
margin: 0px;[code]....

Aug 17, 2010

I have a javascript (snow.js) on my website. Without a DOCTYPE in my HTML it runs in IE, Mozilla and Chrome.Because my mouse-overs (hover) were not working in Chrome I needed to add a DOCTYPE, after it worked (DOCTYPE : <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http:[url].....).

But my javascipt still works in IE but not in Mozilla and Chrome anymore. This script runs with the following statements after <body> :

DOCTYPE Causes Form To Fail?

Aug 2, 2011

I had to add the following DOCTYPE to a webpage in order for IE to parse my page design properly, and this caused the form on the page to fail in FireFox (which works fine without the doctype). The form works fine in IE.Here is the DOCTYPE I added to the top of the page;

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

The error log in FireFox says;

frmTest is not defined - Line 30

Here is the block of code it is referring to;

function MoveForward(ipage)[code].........

Doctype Stops This Js From Functioning In Ie?

Sep 25, 2011

This <div> layer positioned always at bottom left of the screen on scrolling (and calling some code from labpixies) works well in non-ie browsers, but in ie it requires the omission of the doctype declaration. Why? Is it possible to fix it so that it works with the doctype in ie?

<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<title></title>

Xhtml Doctype And Form Name Attribute?

Aug 21, 2010

I have been attempting to transition to use of xhtml strict doctype andmy text editor, BBEdit (on Mac) tells me, when I ask it to check syntax,that the attribute 'name' is not allowed in form object, as in any otherform element that I tried to use it in. This begs the question, how doI script forms with javascript in the context of this doctype? None ofthe javascript texts I have address this issue (O'Reilly Rhino book andothers).I could figure it out, but it appears to be a complicated process, justdoing getElementById() and sorting it out.Does anyone have a reference to material that deals with this issue?

GetDOCTYPE() Function - Get Various Properties Of DOCTYPE

Jun 10, 2009

Without getting into too much history on the why, I came into a situation where I needed to create a function to get various properties of !DOCTYPE so that other functions could adjust to work properly with certain DOCTYPEs (Strict, Transitional, etc.). I have tested the function in the following Windows browsers IE6+ FF3+ Chrome2+ and Safari3+ Opera9+. The only one that I can’t get working is Opera (testing with 9.64). I’m hoping that someone out that has a solution! Here is the code:

Loaded XML File Failing Due To Doctype Tag

Aug 30, 2011

I have an XML file that I'm trying to load into and xml object, however the doctype tag is killing the javascript, and does not parse the XML at all. If I remove the doctype, the javascript can parse, and I can access the XML DOM. So I know the XML is valid. Even with the Doctype, it validates. However Javascript does not like it. I don't have a choice to remove the Doctype tag of the XML.

If I remove the Doctype, this method works to parse the XML DOM:
Code:
xmlDoc = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM");
xmlDoc.async = false;
xmlDoc.load(filename);

Also, if I use the .open method to retrieve the XML, I cannot access the XML DOM via xmlhttp.responseXML. But I do get a result when I use xmlhttp.responseText, it displays the corresponding XML.
Code:
xmlhttp.open("GET", filename, false);

Adding Doctype Removes Table?

Dec 15, 2010

I have a simple page that uses ajax, php, mysql to get database entries and displays them in a table by a limited number of results.

ie. it only shows 10 entries at a time.

Anyways, as soon as I had ANY DOCTYPE to the document, the table no longer shows up in Firefox. It will how ever show up in IE8 or if I remove the DOCTYPE.

Page WITH DOCTYPE
Page WITHOUT DOCTYPE

What on earth would be causing this? I have validated the page with W3C with VALID markup.

Move An Image - Not Working With XHTML Doctype ?

Jan 12, 2010

I'm trying to move an image with the following JS function, but it only seems to work when I remove the XHTML doctype from the top of the document.

Here's the javascript:

Code:

I read something about this on another forum and I think it has something to do with the declaration of obj.style.top, but I can't find a solution. I've tried creating a new variable that contains "document.getElementByID(obj)" and then using that variable to change the top of the image, but it still doesn't work.

Added DOCTYPE To The Top Of Document, Now It Won't Change The Width?

Dec 19, 2010

So I didn't know whether to put this in HTML & CSS or here. So I'm just going to put it here and the mods can move it if needed.So I had this script working for auto width of a DIV, then I added DOCTYPE to the top of my document, now it won't change the width ha ha. I have tried with all DOCTYPE's and same thing.The JS I am using is:

window.onload=function(){
document.getElementById("right").style.width= + screen.width - 193;
}

As I said this worked before I added DOCTYPE to the top of the HTML. But when I add any one of the DOCTYPES it stops working.

Changing Doctype From Strict To Transitional Stops Script?

Oct 12, 2010

1- I have a Tabs list (Services/Solutions/Internal...) in below website which has been done using Javascript.

[URL]

Now if I change the Doctype from Strict to Transitional the javascript ceases to work correctly (and I was not able to find why).

See here:

[URL]

2- I need the Transitional doctype because my language menu does not work with Strict!!! and I guess fixing the Javascript might be easier than that.

What is the problem? What should I do to avoid such problems? (I guess I prefer strict type XML documents).

Doctype W/ No Script - Stop Reflective Xss Attacks For Parts Of A Certain Page?

Jul 29, 2010

Is there anyway to create a page w/ doctype or headers that tell the browser something like "there's JavaScript in this page and you have JavaScript turned on, but don't execute it because the developer was too lazy to validate the data".I'm looking to stop reflective xss attacks for parts of a certain page. There's always going to be that one user who throws a lot of junk into the form and eventually some combination of bad code will get through.

Dynamically Writing Html/javascript From A Javascript Function

Jul 23, 2005

I'm working on some code and am running into brick walls. I'm trying
to write out Javascript with Javascript and I've read the clj Meta FAQ
and didn't see the answer, read many similar posts (with no luck
though), and searched through the IRT.ORG Faqs
(www.irt.org/script/script.htm).

The Javascript is designed to open an popup window and then inside that
window call another script which will resize that window. There may be
another way around this but the reason I tried this approach initially
was that I wanted to call the onload handler in the popup window to
resize the image only after the image had completely loaded. I've had
some code in the primary Javascript file (showimage.js) before that
works if the image has been cached but on the first load, it doesn't
resize properly which tells me it is probably because it is trying to
resize the window based on the image size but it isn't completely known
at that point. So I removed that code and tried placing the resizing
code in the second Javascript file (resizewindow.js). BTW I've tried
other code to open a popup image and automatically size it ie Q1443 at
irt.org but that doesn't do exactly what we need.

Even if there is another way to do this with one file, I still want to
figure out why this isn't working in case I run into it in the future.

I thought what I would need to do to use document.writeln to write
Javascript would be to escape any special characters and to break
apart the script tag ie

document.writeln('</SCRIPT>');

would become

document.writeln('</SCR' + 'IPT>');

I have a HTML page and 2 Javascript files. All files are in the same
directory and have permissions set correctly.

Here are the 3 files (keep in mind wordwrap has jacked up the
formatting):

index.html
----------
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<title>Test</title>
<SCRIPT type="text/javascript" LANGUAGE="JavaScript1.1"
SRC="showimage.js">
</SCRIPT>
</head>

<body>
Click the house<BR>
<A ONCLICK="newWindow1('house1.jpg','Nice House')"><IMG
SRC="house1thumb.jpg"></A>
</body>
</html>


showimage.js
------------
function newWindow1(pic,sitename)
{

picWindow=window.open('','','width=25,height=25,sc rollbars=1,resizable=1');
picWindow.document.writeln('<html> <head>');
picWindow.document.writeln('<SCR' + 'IPT type="text/javascript"
LANGUAGE="JavaScript1.1" SRC="resizewindow.js"></SCR' + 'IPT>');
picWindow.document.writeln('</head>');
picWindow.document.writeln('<body onload="resizewindow();">');
picWindow.document.writeln('<img src=' + pic + '>');
picWindow.document.writeln('</body> </html>');
picWindow.document.close();
}

resizewindow.js
---------------
function resizewindow()
{
// Do resizing here.
// Right now this isn't being executed
alert("resizing window");
}


Can anyone provide some pointers as to why this javascript is failing?
I'm using IE6 on Win2k and when I click on the image to open the popup
window, it does open the window but it is white with no content and the
system immediately goes from about 4% CPU usage to 100% and
consistently stays there until I kill that window with the task
manager.

DOM Javascript - Imbed Javascript In Dynamically Added Row

Jul 23, 2005

Attached is a simple HTML file that adds and delete rows. In the add
row function I set an attribute "onClick" this triggers the
testMessage() function. When I try this in Firefox it works just fine
however on IE it just refuses to work.

What is interseting is the ROW that already exists has a similar
'onClick' event which works when the page is loaded, but subsequent
"row" additions to the table to not work in IE. Code:
