I've got a piece of code where, for all the world, it looks like this fails in IE 6:
hometab = document.getElementById('hometab');
but this succeeds:
hometabemt = document.getElementById('hometab');
Has anyone ever seen anything like this before, or am I dreaming?
I'm trying to do is change the backgroundColor of my input text with js..
This the js part
Code:
And this is the html part
Code:
Basicly what the script do is to check the hidden field cf with value of '0' if found it will execute changeCssProp(thefield)..but the problem is js return error of document.getElementById(thefield) is null

I have a little JS app that is a glorified calculator which I posted the code for below. My code uses the document object to replace the html in the "content" <div> and works great.However, I want to add an inline style in order to change the background of the input (readonly field with an id of "coutput") based on either of the global variables named "MJPD" or "IJPD", (depending on the switch case selected in the user prompt at the beginning of the script.)Simplified....if the value of MJPD is less than 4.6, I want the "coutput" field's background to be red, else be green.The same goes for IJPD, except the threshold for red will be <3.83.Code and what I have tried is below.
<script language="JavaScript">
var MJPD = 1;
var IJPD = 1;

I'm working on a script for Hulu that will present the user with some options, then automatically sort their queue depending on those options (a blessing for someone like me with 450+ entries). The sequence is as such:Read and store all entry rowsPresent user with a form to assign shows to categoriesPresent user with a form to assign weights to categories (so something can show up more or less often in a "block") as well as options for how to sort entriesSort previous row listings based on user inputDecide the order of shows and change the values of their respective "Order" boxesI've gotten it to work up until this last part. I'm creating the dialogue boxes using proper DOM input (at least, I believe so), but for some reason I can't use getElementById() or getElementsByName(). I can use getElementsByClassName() and getElementsByTagName(). When trying to use the first two, I'm just told that it isn't a function.
Here's the code section itself, the problem line is Line 3:
Javascript Code:
This is inside an onclick event; finalBox is declared outside of that handler. I'm able to use finalBox.getElementsByClassName in the same function about 20 lines up. For reference, here's where I create the elements I'm trying to find:
Javascript Code:
CustRow is a function that helps me shorten the code of adding a cell to a row (with addCell()); it creates a row element and attaches it to the given table element.
That first piece of code is the only place where I use getElementById. My main thought is that I'm doing the ID wrong and, for some reason, it's not registering with the DOM (though that doesn't explain why getElementById() still fails instead of returning null/undefined). Also, while I hope to eventually make this a FireFox add-on, I'm executing all of this through the FireBug console, so I don't know if that would affect it or not.
Any insights? I can change it to use getElementsByClassName (and it appears to work), but this is really frustrating me and I'd prefer not to use a messy work-around. (Actually, getElementsByName would be best, but I thought that getElementById would at least work.)
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 am barely familiar with javascript. I have this html code with an embedded iframe. The html file in the iframe refreshes every once in a while. That is fine. However, in IE, there is this annoying click with every refresh. I googled a bit and saw a few solutions. Seem to me that if I fetched the contents of the HTML file (AJAX call) and assigned it to existing document.
1. How do I assign an entire document in JS?
2. If I did this would this prevent the clicks?

IE has no problem with this, but Firefox throws an exception - "Illegal operation on WrappedNative prototype object". Is it within its rights to do so?
Basically we are trying to simulate the tab key when the
down arrow key is pressed. (we know there are other way
to control focus flow but we use a lot of dynamic jsp fields,
that will make the flow control a nightmare, we just want
basic tabbing from the arrow key)
1)We are able to capture a onkeydown event and reasign it with another
key value with no problem within an html document without a form.
example:
var ieKey = event.keyCode;
if (ieKey == 40) {
event.keyCode = 9;
}
however as soon as we insert a form tag in the document, this stops
functioning. The asignment seems to be fine as an alert clearly shows, but the
instruction seems to be ignored. Code:
I am making a call to a php file which right at this minute has no validation, all validation is been done by the jquery form plugin. the validation (xss prevention soon to be implemented) in the thanks fails I want to stop the processing of the form i.e. stop the return of success.

In Firefox 2, document.getElementById is returning an HTMLDivElement,
in IE 7, it is returning an Object.
For example:
<div id="errorTableDiv">
</div>
....
errorTableDiv = document.getElementById("errorTableDiv");
alert(errorTableDiv);
errorTableDiv.appendChild(someTableNode);
Firefox prints HTMLDivElement and lets me appendChild() later on
IE prints Object and gives an error on the appendChild()
I do not understand why this happens or what the most socially
acceptable way to fix it is.
I'm trying to create a function that will return the value of responseXML so I can assign a variable to it.
Code:
ajax.downloadXml = function (url)
{
var XMLHttpRequestObject = false;
[code]....
Stepping through the function, the onreadystatechange seems to never be executed, so nothing is returned. There's probably just a fundamental I'm messing up on.
Code:
<a name="loc"></a>
<a href="#loc" onClick="document.location.href='#loc'
document.location.reload(false);return false">Click here to go to your location</a>
When you click onto the link you should go to the page location marked by the anchor tag "loc", however, upon clicking you go to the top of the page and never redirected to the exact spot where your anchor tag is located. Why is that? I'm using IE6 (per requirement) as my platform.
how to assign a value to a global variable within a function and can't seem to figure it out. Here's my thought,
<script type="text/javascript">
var global1=""; var global2="";
function assign(vari,strng){
[Code]....
The purpose behind this is creating a form that will work with an existing database that would normally have a text area with lots of information. I am trying to turn it into a checklist that I can run from a mobile device. The global variables woudl be used to fill in a hidden text area that would then be passed on to the database upon submission. I am trying to keep the code as compact as possible.
I am trying to assign a variable to a jquery object that is found using the children() and eq() methods. This is a simplified version of the html structure.[code]Here is the jquery code. All I want to do is assign an object to the variable and be able to manipulate the object through the variable. [code]Again this is a simplified version of my code but the structure is similar.

I would like to know if is better to use document.forms to detect forms
or getElementById.
I have an onchange method for a select box that goes something like
this (the select is in a form named aForm):
function page_on_change() {
pageElement = aForm.my_page_id;
aForm.nav_page_name.value =
pages[pageElement.options[ pageElement.selectedIndex ].value];
var si = pageElement.selectedIndex;
for ( i = 0 ; i < pages.size ; i++ ) {
document.getElementById("id_" + i).style.display='none'
}
document.getElementbyId("id_" + si).style.display='none'
}
IE fails on the statement:
document.getElementbyId("id_" + si).style.display='none'
and says it doesn't support this property.
What is the workaround?
Basically i'm trying to draw a box over an image which
is turning out to be a nightmare. The problem i'm getting at the moment
is that i'm creating a line with <div which works when it's not hidden
but I need to be able to make it hidden so I can use layers to show all
when it finished drawing to make it smoother. This is how some other
scripts are doing it that i've seen. So i've got it drawing a line and I
need getElementById to pick out the layer but it's only picking out NULL
with the one i've got enabled below. I've tried the others but they just
come out as errors. I need to get top2 which is the <div line to show
itself but I can't seem to reference it by getElementById. I use linux
mozilla so i need it working in mozilla as well as windows that's why
i'm using getElementById. My code is below any ideas anyone?
I am trying to use document.getElementById in FF but its not working. There is a main page. in that mainpage there is a iframe and in that iframe (id = DocFrame) there is a textbox (id="fileuploadedcnt") which i am trying to access. there is no error. ofcourse i have given name and id to the textbox. Below is the code
function ConfirmCertificate(id , Project_ID , Subprogram_ID , ITCType_TI) {
frm=document.mainform;
