Document.createElement Element - Remove 'div' Before Returning The Function

Apr 18, 2011

I've written the following small feature test.

[Code].....

I want to remove 'div' before returning the function. Testing in IE something like div.parentNode.removeChild(div); will fail. If I look in the dom 'div's parentNode is null, so that explains that. It needs to be appended to something first I guess.

Validate Document.createElement

Jul 23, 2005

I have a page which uses JavaScript to create form elements using
document.createElement('input'), etc.. Both Firefox and IE have no
problem accomplishing this and when the form is submitted all the
information is passed correctly.

I am now trying to validate the form using JavaScript when the page is
submitted. Firefox has no problems with this but IE returns
'document.form1.*THE FORM FIELD*.value is null or not an object' for
the elements that were created using document.createElement when I try
get their value using 'document.form1.*THE FORM FIELD*.value'. How do
I get the value of the form elements that were created using
JavaSCript?

Document.createElement() In XHTML

Nov 25, 2006

I try the following in Firefox and other modern browsers:

window.addEventListener('load', function() {
document.title = CSS.getClass('fontSize');
var div = document.createElement('div');
document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0].appendChild(div);
alert(div);
alert(div.style)
}, true);

It works fine in normal HTML mode (Content-type: text/html), but in
XHTML mode it alerts "[object Element]" instead of "[object
HTMLDivElement]" and the second alert shows "undefined" instead of
"[object CSSStyleDeclaration]". So I can't reach the style declaration
which is important for me. Strict mode makes trouble again and again,
the biggest bug: document.write does not work:

Document.createElement Is Not XHTML Standard

Jan 2, 2007

I've been creating a script that dynamic loads js files.

but after creating that script, (and i use
document.createElement('script');) in that function.. i've realise that
the code that shows up in the browser is:

<script type="text/javascript">

should it be

<script type="text/javascript" />

or

<script type="text/javascript"></script>

Document CreateElement Changing Case Of Tag?

Jul 21, 2009

I'm experimenting with creating SVG dynamically and am finding that document.createElement is changing the case of the tags I input. This is breaking because, apparently SVG tags are case sensitive. For example, when I try to create a linear gradient element like so:var grad = document.createElement('linearGradient');what appears in the view source is:<lineargradient ...> (Note the lowercase "g")The tag doesn't work if the "G" is lowercase. Is there any way to specify in the <html> tag (or somewhere else) that the document should preserve tag case?

canvas.height = 700;
var context = canvas.getContext('2d');
context.strokeRect(10, 10, 50, 50);

Document.createElement Keeps Adding Everything On Its Own Line?

Oct 4, 2010

I'm using the document.createElement method to add dynamic table and from elements to a page, but I'm running into a problem where I'm adding 2 objects to 1 cell. The two of them combined are not wider than the cell, but they won't display next to each other, they're always on their own lines and I can't figure out why...

HTML Code:
var hiddenElement = document.createElement('input');
hiddenElement.setAttribute('type', 'text');
hiddenElement.style.cssText = 'width: 100%; display: none;';

[Code]....

The text input (hiddenElement) should fill 1 line of the cell, but then the two buttons (createButton and cancelButton) should both sit on the line below it, but the cancelButton insists on siting on it's own line below the creatButton, and I can't figure out why.

(I know they have their display set to none, that's being set to block by a function, which is how I know they're all on their own line)

Using CreateElement To Create A Div Inside An Already Existing Div?

Aug 6, 2010

I'm trying to integrate PayPal's MiniCart on my site, and I don't have much javascript experience. I did however find that this little blip of code is what's used to position where the cart is placed on the HTML page that contains the script. Here's my problem - I want to be able to create this element inside a div that already exists on the HTML page. Is this possible?

Code:
var container_pp = createElement('div', cart, {
id: 'PPMiniCart',
style: {position: 'absolute', top:'690px', left:'100px', zIndex: '999', textAlign: 'left' }
}, document.body);

MSIE 6.0 Does Not Support Protyping With Objects Created With Document.createElement.

Oct 3, 2006

MSIE 6.0 apparently does not support protyping with objects created
with document.createElement, while Firefox does.

I tested it by typing it into the adress bar, but it also appears to be
the case for code embedded in a HTML document. Here's a simple segment
of code to demonstrate the difference:

javascript: function myObj(){};myObj.prototype =
document.createElement('a'); var x = document.createElement('a'); var
y=new myObj(); var z= new Object(); alert(x.href) /*blank in both FF &
MSIE6 */; alert(y.href) /* blank in FF but 'undefined' in MSIE6 */;
alert(z.href) /* 'undefined' in both FF & MSIE6 */;

I wonder why that is (apart from the fact that MSIE implements JScript
and not javascript), and can anyone tell me which of both browsers is
complient with W3C standards?

Adding Select Element Using CreateElement

Aug 17, 2007

In IE6 and below, when using createElement and appendChild to add a new select element to the page, it automatically selects the first option.

the page relies on using the onchange event of the select element, and if there is only one option and it is selected, there is no possible way to fire the onchange event.

To get around this, i've had to use innerHTML to build the select element, which I feel is dirty so I want to clean it up.

Any idea's? I have already tried setting each option's selected value to false, etc but nothing other than using innerHTML seems to of worked,.

Checking To See If Element Created With CreateElement Exists

Sep 16, 2009

I'm trying to check to see if a dynamically created element exists BEFORE creating another element of the same exact type...but my if statement at the beginning is not working and another element is just created.

function writeElement(id) {
if(document.getElementsByTagName('transElement')[0]) {
var id = id;
killElement();
writeElement(id);
}
var id = id;
var transElement = document.createElement('transElement');

Text Element In Form Created With CreateElement Can't Pass Post Variable?

Nov 16, 2011

My code is this:

Code:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html lang="EN" dir="ltr" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>

[Code]...

In a few words it creates a button which when it is clicked it launches the add_text script. Add text script creates a text element for a form and puts a random value for the textbox. Textbox also takes a name which is of array type name="txt[]". Also form has the post method.

When I press e.g. 4 times the add text field button 4 text boxes are added. But when I click the submit button I get a result of 1 instead of 4 when the print count($txt) is executed. Copy paste the code to see the problem.

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.

JQuery :: Get Value Of A Dynamically Added Element?

May 11, 2010

I've found a few posts on adding an event to a dynamic element, but that doesn't really help me. What I'm doing is allowing the user to add a textbox, then when a button is clicked i need to find the value for that text box, but it doesn't seem to pick up that the textbox is there.

Oh and that textbox is part of an array of textboxes, all of whose values i need.

Doing Somthing When A DOM Element Is Dynamicaly Added?

Feb 9, 2010

I am creating a script that runs in tandom with several others. One of the other scripts creates and modifys the DOM on the fly.

My job is to write a script that will trigger some code when one of those DOM elements is created. The tag I have to watch for can be dynamically created, removed, and then created again with different childs, data, and subtags.

I have to log each of those newly created DIVs and all the child tags and data therein. I know how to do the logging, this is just an FYI. I know how to scan an existing DOM for the tags but not how to have a script monitor the DOM and fire off an event when these things are created on the fly.

I've been googling, yahooing, and asking for a day and a half now. Figured I'd start forum posting.

JQuery :: Data Added To Element Available In One Place, But Not Another?

Aug 10, 2010

I have a jQuery plugin that creates a list of news items and appends the <ul> to the element(s) calling the plugin. Each <li> gets a document key added to its data.

A brief snippet of the code:

(function
($){
$.fn.NewsList=function
(options){

[Code].....

None of the <li>'s have the data attached to them. I've tested the selector shown above in line 3, and it does pick up the correct <li>'s. The data is not visible in Firebug as it is on the other page. Both functions are called after document.ready and insert the elements after page load.

The onlydiscernible differences between these two circumstances is that in the working case, the plugin is called against an ID, whereas in the nonworking instance, it is called against a CLASS. In addition, in the working case, only one DIV is affected, and in the nonworking case, there are two DIVs that receive the treatment.

JQuery :: Retrieve Id Of Dynamically Added Element?

Jun 14, 2011

I have the following html:

<div id = "container"></div>
<div id = 'containerItemTmplt' class = "ui-widget-content">
<div class='contentHdr' onclick="test(this)" />
</div>

i then use jquery to clone 'containerItemTmplt' and add it to 'container':

var copiedElem = $('#containerItemTmplt').clone(true).
.attr('id', 'paneI1')
.appendTo('#container');


This works great and i confirm using I.E. 9's developer's tool utility that the element was indeed added with the correct id as a child of 'container'.

However in my test method, when i inspect the element that was copied, the id attribute is an empty string:

function test(elem)
{
var parentItem= $(elem).closest('div')[0];
alert(parentItem.id); //<--this displays an empty string despite
}

Can't Grab Value From Dynamically Added Form Element?

May 1, 2011

I am selecting an image as part of a html form. Once selected, jQuery assigns a user-defined attribute of the image to a hidden form variable and passes it to form handler. Problem is when I dynamically add images that can be selected. I am using live function to ensure that the dynamically added image is highlighted when clicked - but the user-defined attribute is not being grabbed by jQuery.

I think that when the page is first loaded, all the existing image attributes are loaded into the DOM, but when extra images are added with ajax, the DOM doesn't have the new attribute values, despite them appearing in the html on the page. I don't think I can use the live function in this instance, because an attribute is not an event. Out of ideas now. HTML/PHP, with jQuery:

JQuery :: Dynamically Added Element Cannot Be Removed / Solve This?

Oct 26, 2011

In my application I render a couple of elements dynamically after the user selects an option in a dropdown list. When the user selects another option in the dropdown, I want to remove all the previous elements that was added dynamically. I've tried with the .Remove() function, but it seems the elements cannot be found in the DOM. I've looked a lot at the .live() events. Does anyone now how I can solve this?
