Dynamically Create A Bunch Of Key => Value Pairs In A Object
Aug 20, 2011
I'm not sure if I'm calling it the right thing, but I'm trying to dynamically create a bunch of key => value pairs in a javascript object.
Something like this:
Code JavaScript:
But the console gives me errors, and I haven't been able to find a way to do this. I've tryed putting the keys in square brackets, as was suggested somewhere online, but that didn't work.
Here's what I'd like to do using pure JavaScript and HTML (no Ajax or PHP): My website loads different JavaScript files dynamically which contain a bunch of data, that I will display on the website. The dynamical loading function is placed in the <HEAD> and looks like that:
Code: function loadJsFile(filename){ console.log("loading js file") var fileref=document.createElement('script') fileref.setAttribute("type","text/javascript") fileref.setAttribute("src", filename) fileref.onload = dataIsLoaded; if (typeof fileref!="undefined"){ document.getElementsByTagName("head")[0].appendChild(fileref) }}
The dataIsLoaded method in there is a callback that is triggered when the JavaScript file has been loaded: Code: function dataIsLoaded(){ console.log("loading js file done") dataLoaded = true; data = new Data(); }
DataLoaded is simply a global boolean that is per default false and the 'data' variable contains all the data I want to display on my site. While the JavaScript file is being loaded, the browser continues building the site. When it gets to the <body> that wants to access some information from the data variable, I get the unsurprising error that 'data' is undefined. I looked for a way to wait until 'data' is defined and then continue with building the <body> but couldn't find a solution.
Alternatively I wanted to reload the divs in the <body> when the 'data' is available: Code: function reloadDivs(){ if(dataLoaded){ console.log("data available, reloading divs"); document.getElementById('someDiv').innerHTML = document.getElementById('someDiv').innerHTML }else{ console.log("data is not yet available"); setTimeout('loadReportData();', 500); }} This does not work, I get a blank div when I do that.
So when a user goes to that directly, all the presets are already there? (since my updateResults function already sends that data along when the user is actually using the page, perhaps I could just somehow parse that url and call my updateResults function with the requested parameters...
Is there any way at all to create a new template object that inherits from the built in Date object so as to be able to add new methods to that child object without adding them to the built in Date object? I've tried everything I can think of and as far as I can tell it keeps referencing the Date function instead of the Date object and so doesn't work.
I have the following function to dynamically create an image (in this case a toolbox button):
Which works fine in IE8 and IE9, but in IE7 it refuses to pick up the style 'button'. I've even tried putting in btn.class='button' but JS throws up an error.
If I specify the style by btn.style.position='Absolute' it picks this up OK. However, it won't respond to the onclick event either.
I have heard that setAttribute is buggy with IE7, which is why I tried to specify each attribute directly.
The style sheet for class button is:
(BTW, no link to a website as this is local on my machine atm)
I've got 2 div's and the first one has a form in it.I want to create a table with the results of the form results in the second div. It currently erases the page to create the table
I don't use js too much, but for this job, I need to use it
I want to create a table dynamically. Here is the working code.[code]This table is always left alignment.Suppose I create another table which has 3x3 cells.Now I want to insert the first 2x2 table into the middle cell of the second table.I am not sure how to get the position of the cells and how to change the javascript code?
let me say up front that my experience with JavaScript and "Ajax" interactions has been horrific. There are weeks I will never get back because of it. Whenever I encounter something so horrific that it makes me blank my memories of the event, I find myself going back and trying to take different approaches to understanding what happens.
This current round of experiments involves sending and receiving what is effectively an associative array. That is, I want to send dom names and the associated values via XMLHttpRequest calls and on return, get a set of dom value pairs and push them back into the current environment in the browser.
what I need to figure out how to do is associate a series of DOM's with a button, extract the information when the button is pressed, and then present the entire array to a CGI. On return, I would need to take the same array from the CGI and transfer the contents into the specified DOM's
if this is not practical, tell me so and I go do something else which is probably more fun. If it is practical and has been implemented in some toolkit, fantastic. It saves me some pain. If it hasn't been implemented, well, there goes the more hours that I will never get back.
i'm sorry if this question has already been asked, but I searched for the term 'create element' on the jQuery Google Groups and didn't find the answer. I basically want to create html dynamically and be able to add it to my webpage. Suppose I have the following html:
Now in extension js file i want to check if check box is checked then create the variabel like CB1 (1 is the id) and the i want to assign value to this variable
i did something like this
[code ] //arrayLength is the no of check boxes for(var i= 0 ; i <arrayLength; i++) {
Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "(URL address blocked: See forum rules)"> <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"> <title>Insert title here</title>
[Code]...
Basically, what I want to do is to dynamically create 5 instances of "emailRow" onto the web page making use of Javascript DOM. But have no success in getting it to work.
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd"> <html> <head> <script type="text/javascript"> function emailRowContent(isSelected, emailAddress, severity)
I'm trying to dynamically create a canvas element. Later in the script it gets attached to the DOM, and this works fine if the last two lines are missing. I end up with a canvas element that is 3px wide and 100% of the containing div tall. However, the last two lines make it crash, with the error report 'canvases[i].fillRect is not a function'.
If I change the last two lines to: var drawing = canvases[i].getContext("2D"); drawing.fillRect(1,0,1,table_height);
It says 'drawing is null'. Something seems to be going wrong with the getContext bit, because setting the height and width work fine. It behaves the same if I append the canvas element to the DOM before trying to do the drawing as well. This is in FF4.0.1 with a xhtml1-strict.dtd doctype and valid html.
At the moment i am using javascript to show and hide elements to show notifications, but this doesnt work well because i can not show more than one notification, so i would like to be able to dynamically create and destroy elements like:
create element set class set innerHTML display wait for user input and destroy
I'm attempting to dynamically create a QuickTime embedded movie. I'm including the AC_Quicktime.js script which contains methods for creating the embedded movie easily and putting it into an existing DIV. This is working correctly, however the movie will not load. Here's the code that I'm using.
Code:
function loadMovie() { var objectTxt = QT_GenerateOBJECTText_XHTML('poster.jpg', '100%', '100%','','controller','true','autoplay','true','showlogo','true','moviename','stream', 'obj#ID', 'stream', 'cache','false','href','rtsp://192.168.20.105:554
The website I'm working on has a top banner that's loaded from the database. It may be an image, animation, and even HTML code, including <script> tags. Everything is working fine, HTML is loaded correctly, except when I insert a script tag. Here's the code I'm using, which partially makes the <script> work in Firefox, but not in any other browser:
I tried to enumerate through a index array to assign different ids to newly retrieved JSON data, the li element is initially set to be hidden and the hidden data can be seen from console. But the browser is failing to show the data when I tried to use ('li#a').animate({opacity: "show"}, "slow"); I also tried to use .animate right after each <li> appendTo the body and failed to show as well. I am wondering how to fix this? Is there any better way of handling this with out creating an enumerating array?
