Which Format To Use For Setting An Attribute - GetAttribute Isn't Working?
Jan 22, 2011
I am trying to get my script working in FF, IE and Opera but the getAttribute isn't working for me. The domain name isn't getting picked up I have tried this:
I'm trying to get the value of an object's property. getAttribute returns "null" even though I'm sure the property is set. I can easily set the property, and in my actual script I do so dynamically. I just want to read the property and can't.
To help explain my problem, I've attached an example .html file as a .txt file.
The critical part of the code is this section that is based on "textbook" examples of how to get an attribute:
<script type="text/javascript"> function showcolor() { var myobject = document.getElementById("lab"); var myproperty = myobject.getAttribute("color");
alert(myproperty); } </script>
This is called via a button on the bottom of the page. The DIV object with the ID "lab" exists and has a color attribute defined in CSS, but I cannot read it, nor any other attribute, with a script. The alert displays "null".
i have found a possible bug in 1.4 but it's only in Internet Explorer 7 & 8.The following code does not work and completely ruins every peice of jquery on the page (that means everything inside $(document).ready and anyting else...
I cant see any syntax errors - i pulled the example from the 1.4 site. There is no trailing commas in the object notation and i really cant see any reason it would work in firefox and not IEx and more to the point not only not work in IEx but break any other jquery in the entire page....
It seems to be a problem with the getAttribute('style') portion of the code because if I change the request to getAttribute('id') it executes properly....
I've seen other posts regarding the reformatting of a military time format to a regular/standard time format but nothing has worked so far. I'm pulling events from Google Calendar, have set the date properly but not the correct time format (20:00 needs to be changed to 8:00pm). Here's my code thus far:
document.testform.itemprice.value = itemprice; When I set the value as above, the output shows like this, 25.0200 and it should be 25.02. How can I make it happen?
I have a superclass where I create a "div" element as a property and then proceed to try and set the element's "id" attribute in a subclass. Interestingly, if I create multiple instances of the subclass with different "id"s, they all end up having the last "id" I specify. I would like it if they retain the individual "id" I specify. Here is the code.
function Drag() { this.ele = document.createElement("div"); } function Icon(id) { this.ele.id = id; } Icon.prototype = new Drag(); var hello = new Icon("hello"); var goodbye = new Icon("goodbye");
I have noticed that when you set the src attribute of an img via script, (instead of hard-coding in the img tag), although it caches the images, if you leave the site and return, the browser has to re-cache the images. Is that just the way it is, or is there a way to not lose the cache?
I have <style> tags in my <head> section, and only want to set the cursor attribute if the user's browser has JavaScript enabled. This code however doesn't set the cursor attribute even if JavaScript is enabled:
This is the Javascript function that I use to hide/show DIV content. I use it everywhere without problems:

However, I get strange behavior when the above DIV is located within an AJAX response. My main page loads another HTML page into a div, and within THAT div is the "div6" above.
I modified a function I got from someone from this forum. It looks for date in the format "2011-09-15" and should convert it to "Sep 15 2011".It is not working. It is displaying the input itself.[code]
Im trying to make a script which when I click on the list element... it will replace a big image with anotehr picture. The list element is a thumbnail... and I want to swop the big image with the big version of the thumbnail. Each <li> has a rel attribute... but while I can pull out each <li> from the list, for some reason the following code, yields an 'undefined' value... instead of the big-image-path...?
During development of Bing Maps, I've come across a problem when reading in an XML file and plotting a ploygon. The code works fine on IE, but FireFox is giving me the following error message: Error: xNodes[i].getAttribute is not a function
The function in its entirety is copied below and the problem line is marked in red. Hoping that someone may have come across this problem?
Attr('id') not working in AJAX. I use jQuery UI. I check and attr('class') not working too. Code: $.post('ajax.php', { top: $(".ui-draggable-dragging").css("top"), left: $(".ui-draggable-dragging").css("left"), width: $(".ui-draggable-dragging").width(), lenght: $(".ui-draggable-dragging").height() }, function(data){ goStart($(".ui-draggable-dragging").attr("id")); if(data == 'no'){ alert("1 :(");} else if(data == "yes"){ alert("0! :)");}});
I am working on an Image Map project, the project must be written under xhtml 1.1 and must validate. The problem is Firefox and Safari will not support the image map without the name attribute, internet explorer does. If I add a name attribute to the image map, the code will not validate under xhtml 1.1. Is there any way to have this work without the name attribute in FF and Safari? The inline styles will be remove later and I would also like to replace the variables with an array but for now the focus is on getting this to work in FF without the name attribute. I can just change the doctype to transitional but we have to use xhtml1.1.
Here is the code: Code: <script type="text/javascript"> var koalaMouth = "This is my left ear!"; var koalaLeftEye = "This is my left eye!"; var koalaNose = "That is my nose!"; var koalaMouth = "That is my mouth!"; var koalaRightEye = "And that is my right eye!"; function writetext(message){ document.getElementById('displayText').innerHTML=''+message+''; }function defaultText(){ .....
I am trying to get a url attribute from an xml node: <item> <media url="http://blablabla.com" /> </item>
I can do this in IE with the following code: var newDom = xmlhttp.responseXML; var x = newDom.getElementsByTagName("item"); var urlNode = x[0].getElementsByTagName('media'); var myUrl = urlNode[0].getAttribute('url');
If I try this code in FireFox it gives me the following error:
urlNode[0] has no properties referring to this line : myUrl = urlNode[0].getAttribute('url');

Here's what I hope to be a quick question that I should be able to figure out myself... but, unfortunately, I can't...I'm trying to pass a variable into the attribute selector. When I substitute the "+myHref+" for "http", I get a match. When I log the myHref var, I get a match. What's wrong with my syntax? Why isn't the myLink finding a match?
