My entire working code without the onchange i'm trying to pull of is:
Code:
// Create the Input Field
var inputEl = document.createElement("<INPUT TYPE='text' NAME='state'>")
inputEl.setAttribute("id", "stateSelect");
inputEl.setAttribute("type", "text");
I am attempting to create an element (to be added later to the document DOM) using createElement.My test case is just:document.createElement("<p>Hello World</p>");My error console shows the following error:
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?
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:
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:
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?
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)
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?
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.
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?
I'm writing this javascript to place dynamically created images into a page, it works as expected in FireFox and Chrome, but not IE8, nothing appears and I get no error message.
I'm placing the images into this DIV:
Code:
And have written this code to place the small images into the DIV:
I have the following code and on it's own works fine, but I need to have it in a PHP while loop as there may be hundreds of records. This does not work, meaning it does not submit the form.
I am trying to create an anonymous function for onchange event of file field, so that when a file is selected, the covering text field gets that value. I know how to accomplish this by adding onchange="", but I'd prefer not do that. The code that I have almost works, except that the function in the for loop can't call on the "i" variable that the loop uses.
for( i = 0; i < source.length; i++) { source[i].onchange = function() { name[i].value = this.value; } }
I've posted several messages concerning a program I am working on which uses a webform to create a document at the end.
So far I am able to create the doc and copy to clipboard for pasting using the c[code]...
What I would like to do is create a new word doc and populate it with the created document. I've tried with no success using activeX etc. The best I could do was to open an existing word doc, but could not populate it. I need it to open a new blank word window, as it is not practical to have a specified word file already there.
I've been trying to create an inline SVG document inside a div using javascript. I cannot seem to figure this out. What I want to do is create a <svg> element and apply some shapes and colors to it via javascript (or ecmascript if I need to). I have googled this and found that you need to have a valid XHTML+XML document in order for this to work.
I am trying to create a xml document and load it into a 3rd party function as follows:
var doc = new ActiveXObject('Microsoft.XMLDOM'); // OR var doc = document.implementation.createDocument('', 'xml', null); o.overlayKML('somefile.xml'); // Works perfectly o.overlayKML(doc); // Doesn't work at all, return unsupport error
I get to know that the overlayKML (3rd party function) needs to read a physical file with a path and sadly it doesn't support DOM. How can I create a javascript document that mimic a physical file and introduce it into the function?
I am trying to create a XML Document with attributes that needs to be in camelCase.<query maxValue="10" minValue="1">..</query>I am trying to create this xml dynamically using the following code.
var queryXML = $('<xml>'); queryXML.append('<query></query>'); queryXML.find('query').attr("minValue",minVal);
Is there something that will update as soon as the user changes information in a textbox as appose to what onChange does, which is update once the focus has been taken off of the textbox? I am writing a custom cart and I am using AJAX to update the price according to how many they are ordering, I was hoping to have it update the price as soon as the user put in the volume, but it doesnt update until the user clicks somewhere else on the page.
The document object has a method called createElement. Can I use this method to create a new Drop/down list, like:
var sel = document.createElement('SELECT');
I have seen it used like this:
opt = document.createElement('OPTION');
which means that opt now holds an option that can be appended to an already existing select object.
Are there any restrictions for which arguments createElement can be called with? I have seen: var what is "LI"? Where do I need to look to find valid arguments for createElement??
I find I often have to change links in templates. I work for someone who is always wanting to alter their links. Is it possible to create a global template, or "master document" to link to as you would in a style sheet? This is what I want to do: Have 1 document that contains links. When I make changes to this document, all links on all pages would change also.
