Use Multiple Ids With GetElementById?
Mar 18, 2009I want to be able to use 'wrapper' more than once on the same page.[code]...
View 4 RepliesI want to be able to use 'wrapper' more than once on the same page.[code]...
View 4 RepliesI have a 'confirm' form that hides a table when a certain field contains a null value.I actually need 3 fields to be null in order for the table not to show rather than one.here part of the working code.
Code:
if (document.getElementById('FIELDNAME').value=='') {
document.getElementById('ID_OF_TABLE').style.display='none';
}
How or what do i do to allow for 3 (or multiple) fields?This is doing my Head in.I know getElementById is most likely not the way to go as it only allows for one.
The code works, but it obviously can't be used for more than one picture per page because getElementById finds the first div and always displays it onmouseover of any attempted mouseover text.The Javascript in <head> is
<script type="text/javascript">
// Pop up code begin
function ShowPopup(hoveritem)
[code]....
So the display code is
<a id="hoverover" style="cursor:default;" onMouseOver="ShowPopup(this);" onMouseOut="HidePopup();">text here</a>
<div id="hoverpopup" style="visibility:hidden; position:absolute;"><img src="url here"></div>
I just want to be able to have more than one instance on each page and still be able to declare the image url in the body and not within the javascript.
I am trying to use multiple instances of this little show/hide script for a definition list on the same page. However, the problem is that the definition list must be given an ID, and this can only be used once on a page. [URL]. How would I go about changing this to a class so that I could use it more than once on a page (i.e. multiple definition lists as opposed to one big one)? I changed all of the getElementById to getElementByClass and it didn't seem to work.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm performing some validation functions on a form I've created.For the phone number, I have 3 text boxes lined up next to one another. The first is for the country code, the second is for area code and the third is for the remainder of the phone number.I have used the following in order to detect whether the input value isNaN.
Code:
input = document.getElementById("phone1");
if (isNaN(input.value)) {

As I have three text boxes for the phone number, can I group them within this one statement? So, ...getElementById("phone1, phone2, phone3"); ?If not, what would you recommend?
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 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.

Should I use both name and id
<div name="abc" id="abc"> for using getElementById in NS?
I am trying to alter css using javascript as well as use the innerHTML
function. I have pasted below 3 forms that access getElementById in
slightly different ways (I wanted to rule out that it was the method.)
All 3 work fine on IE but only work momentarily on Firefox. For
example, one form has text that changes from red to black when the user
clicks the button. In IE it changes. In Firefox it changes for a
split second then goes back to black. Code:
I've been trying to follow the example from the sitepoint book on DHTML to change the href property of a link, but it doesn't work no matter what I try. Here's the code in the HTML file: Code:
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have this problem and when I came looking for help, I checked out the other thread like this but I couldn't get it to work. Here is the function -
PHP Code:
function newForm(focus, field)
{
if ( focus == 'no' )
{
if ( document.getElementById(field).innerText == '' )
{
document.getElementById(field).innerText = '____________'
}
}
if ( focus == 'yes' )
{
if ( document.getElementById(field).innerText == '____________' )
{
document.getElementById(field).innerText = ''
}
}
}
and here is the form -
PHP Code:
<b>Field 1:</b> <input type='text' name='field1' class='textbox' value='____________' onFocus="newForm('yes', 'field1')" onFocusOut="newForm('no', 'field1')" /><br /><br />
<b>Field 2:</b> <input type='text' name='field2' class='textbox' value='____________' onFocus="document.form.field2.innerText=''" onFocusOut="document.form.field2.innerText='____________'" /><br /><br />
field1 uses the function but field2 uses just onFocus and onFocusOut but as you can see, it won't work.
Works fine in FF, Safari . . . but not with IE. The error is "Object doesn't support this property or method".I have narrowed it down to this line (and a few like it)name = escape(document.getElementById('name').value);The escape() is not the issue, same with or without.I am trying to capture the text value from the field with id='name'. I have found discussions about this problem with IE, but not a solution. This must be easy, just trying to get a cross browser solution to load a JS variable with an <input> value.
View 7 Replies View RelatedMy document had the following nested DIV structure, with a possible
<SPAN> between the DIV and the <A> elements:
<div id="container">

How do I refer to multiple elements with IDs such as question1,
question2, question3 etc, in following?
document.getElementById('question').innerHTML
I want to use
for (var num=1;num<6;num++) {
document.getElementById('question').innerHTML

but cannot work out how to get the question1, question2, etc into the
code...
I came across a third party script I want to learn how to configure as
well as learn more dhtml in the doing. I'm not much of a JS guy yet
but I'm working on it.
This script works fine in IE6 but is a dead fish in FireFox. There is
no support offered on the site where it came from.....
Is there any wildcard, like *, for addressing all the element ID's on the
page at once, like if you want to hide all layers at once. For example:
document.getElementById('*').style.visibility = 'hidden'
I know the above doesn't work but you get what I'm driving at right? Is
there anything like that for that method or in javascript in general?
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..
The following code is not working for IE.

I have some simple javascript code that works fine in chrome and safari, but not Ie8
Why? And how do I correct?
Is it just me, or do variables not work in getElementById? For example:
document.getElementById("div"+divnumber)...

View 2 Replies View RelatedI've built a table on the fly within a js function. In another function I'm trying to get the value of a cell in a particular row on that table. I've retrieved the cell object but cannot get it's value :

getElementById Bugs
There are two getElementById bugs up for discussion:
1. getElementById is case-insensitive but it should be case-sensitive.
2. getElementById searches NAME attributes as well as ID attributes but it should not.
My tests show that IE 6 and down have both bugs, Opera 9.02 has bug #2, Opera 7.54 has neither bug, and FireFox 1.5.0.7 has neither bug.
My proposed solution relies on something I noticed while testing in IE: "document.all" is case-sensitive altho it too searches NAME as well as ID attributes.
I would really appreciate if some different people could help me verify these findings in different browsers and on different platforms.
There has been another proposed solution - but I really don't like removing the ID attribute.
