Get Error When Validating - Element Was Found In A Context Where It Is Not Allowed
Oct 31, 2011
I get this error when validating:
The element named above was found in a context where it is not allowed. This could mean that you have incorrectly nested elements -- such as a "style" element in the "body" section instead of inside "head" -- or two elements that overlap (which is not allowed).
One common cause for this error is the use of XHTML syntax in HTML documents. Due to HTML's rules of implicitly closed elements, this error can create cascading effects. For instance, using XHTML's "self-closing" tags for "meta" and "link" in the "head" section of a HTML document may cause the parser to infer the end of the "head" section and the beginning of the "body" section (where "link" and "meta" are not allowed; hence the reported error).
I'm trying to check a database of lotto numbers against 3 different values and have gotten it that to work. What I need is to give a feedback message if no match is found once the submit button is clicked.
function winCheck() { var grandPrize = $('#grandPrize').val(); var otherPrize = $('#otherPrize').val(); var addPrize = $('#addPrize').val();
The code below will show the remaining character count. I'm trying to figure out how to disable the submit button if the user exceeds the 140 character count and re-enable once they're in the "safezone" again...
I thought I could just add: $("#edit-message-send").css({disabled: true}); in the event of an error, and then $("#edit-message-send").css({disabled: false}); if they correct it, but it's not working in either situation.
I am using the following simple script for validatingmy form:
Code:
When the page is rendered I keep getting a 'Syntax Error'..and it is specific to the validation...but I do not know why. When i remove one of the textboxes from the validation script it works.
I am using the validation plugin, and I would like to cause the error message of one of the validation rules to appear immediately when the page loads, before any actual validation takes place. Can this be accomplished in some way, perhaps using javascript? Below is an example form, I would like the "Field is required" message to appear normally next to the input, as soon as the page loads. When the user edits the content of the input, the message should remain or disappear depending on the validation rule, as normal.
When a thead contain less columns than real columns in the tbody section, the Tablesorter plugin produces a variable not found error in jquery coreTo reproduce simply do not put all <th> in thead that correspond to columns in tbody.
I am using a validating form plug in for jquery and I have a question about it. Let this function will be an ex.:
[Code]....
'e' is the name attribute of one form element, but can I choose more elements using jquery (CSS) rules like this: input[name*=e] or how can I do something similar?
I am trying to adapt a script for use validating a drop-down menu in a form.
The script works fine in my lttle demo. In the head of the page I've got...
Code: <script type="text/javascript"> function checkList() { var testForm = document.testForm; if (testForm.demoSelect[testForm.demoSelect.selectedIndex].value == "") { alert("Please make a valid selection from the list."); return false; } } </script> And then in the body...
HTML Code: <form action="demo.php" method="post" name="testForm" id="testForm" onSubmit="return checkList();"> <p> demo select menu <select name="demoSelect" id="demoSelect"> <option value="" selected>Please Select</option> <option value="1">Attrib1</option> <option value="2">Attrib2</option> <option value="3">Attrib3</option> </select> </p> <p>Submit <input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit"> </p> </form> No problem, works fine. The problem is that I am trying to apply this code to a PHP page in osCommerce where the name of the drop-down menu (i.e. demoSelect) is generated dynamically. It is only for use in one particular situation where I know the name of the drop-down menu is generated as id[1] but it wont work when I replace the demoSelect for id[1].
I'm only really beginner with JS but I guess it's because JavaScript identifies id[1] as an array? Is this right and any ideas how I can correctly identify my drop-down to JS?
I want to split the result from window.frames['data_frame'].document.location;, this in order to find out which page is currently opened in the specific frame. When I do it like this:
var source = window.frames['data_frame'].document.location; // var source = "W3Schools is great!"; index_source = source.split('/');
IE gives an error that this method or property is not supported by this object. When I check it on the other var it is accepted. Is there anyway I can make this work? I already tried to do it with document.getElementById().src etc.. but that is not very reliable.
I have a page working perfectly that passes up to 10-12k worth of data into a function via an 'onClick' event. That onClick is one of the <img..>'s attributes, directly. In case later that (dynamic) data gets larger, am I toying with potential problams because of some limit - either a limit in what can be passed into a JS function, or else a limit in the max num of characters allowed in an element's attribute(s)? What do you think is the reasonable amount that I can pass before things start to break? I may need to go up to 50k. 100k maybe, but I doubt that much.
I have created a javascript for form validation. But I want to add some more functions in it. Like it should allow only US zipcodes. Phone Number will be in Number format only. I referred many other sites as well. But its getting difficult to add those new codes in my program.
Here is my Javascript Code: function validate(){ if(document.Enquiry.FirstName.value==""){ alert("Please enter Name"); document.Enquiry.FirstName.focus(); return false; }if(document.Enquiry.Address.value==""){ alert("Please enter Your Postal Address"); document.Enquiry.Address.focus(); return false; .....
I've been messing around and searching about trying to find something which will only allow one of the hidden div's open at a time. When a new link is clicked, the last div open closes. Unfortuanatly I haven't found anything yet.
I have a DIV blocked from data entry in IE, Firefox, Safari and Opera. Functionally all is okay -- super plugin! The only problem left is that the cursor does not change to 'not-allowed' on the overlay when I use IE 6,7 or 8. All other browsers render the cursor okay?
Here's the code: $().ready(function() { Protect('#divData'); $('#cbProtected').bind('click', function(e, ui) { if ($(this).is(':checked')) Protect('#divData'); else Unprotect('#divData'); }); }); function Protect(el) { $(el).block({ message: null, overlayCSS: { backgroundColor: null, opacity: 1.0, cursor: 'not-allowed' }});}; function Unprotect(el) { $(el).unblock(); };
