I've built a table on the fly within a js function. In another function I'm trying to get the value of a cell in a particular row on that table. I've retrieved the cell object but cannot get it's value :
var claimDate = parent.expenseDisplay.document.getElementById("row"+lineNo+"Date");
now I thought that the following would give the the data
var cdate = getObject(claimDate).value;
function run() { for(var k = 0; k < newPhotos.length; k++) {[code]....
I get an error on this line Quotedocument.getElementById(imageId).style.backgroundImage = "url(" + newPhotos[k] + ")"; the error is: QuoteObject Required
I'm just not sure what object they are talking about. This piece of code basically goes through and assigns x amount of divs a background image.
I've got what should be a simple assignment of either an element value or a default string to a variable, but when the element doesn't exist I get an "Object required" error rather than an assignment of the default value.
I originally used the simple statement:
var v = document.getElementById('foo').value || parent.document.getElementById('foo').value || 'unknown' document.writeln(v);
This caused the "Object required" error if there was no element, so I added some error checking:
var v = (document.getElementById) ? document.getElementById('foo').value : (parent.document.getElementById) ? parent.document.getElementById('foo').value : 'unknown' document.writeln(v);
Unfortunately, this still results in an "Object required" error when the element is not present in the document or its parent.
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 keep getting an error stating "getElementById("ballElement") is null, but I have a div with that exact id. I have looked at the JS script before that line, but found no errors there either. Please take a minute to see if you find something.
I just got this script for a countdown on a website and I got it to work locally but when I upload it to the server i get the error "index.html:22 Uncaught TypeError: Object [object Object] has no method 'fancycountdown'".
I have checked to make sure all other javascript files are loading and they are and I can't figure out whats wrong. You can see it [URL]
I am trying to alter css using javascript as well as use the innerHTML function. I have pasted below 3 forms that access getElementById in slightly different ways (I wanted to rule out that it was the method.) All 3 work fine on IE but only work momentarily on Firefox. For example, one form has text that changes from red to black when the user clicks the button. In IE it changes. In Firefox it changes for a split second then goes back to black. Code:
I've been trying to follow the example from the sitepoint book on DHTML to change the href property of a link, but it doesn't work no matter what I try. Here's the code in the HTML file: Code:
Works fine in FF, Safari . . . but not with IE. The error is "Object doesn't support this property or method".I have narrowed it down to this line (and a few like it)name = escape(document.getElementById('name').value);The escape() is not the issue, same with or without.I am trying to capture the text value from the field with id='name'. I have found discussions about this problem with IE, but not a solution. This must be easy, just trying to get a cross browser solution to load a JS variable with an <input> value.
I came across a third party script I want to learn how to configure as well as learn more dhtml in the doing. I'm not much of a JS guy yet but I'm working on it.
This script works fine in IE6 but is a dead fish in FireFox. There is no support offered on the site where it came from.....
I have this annoying problem with netscape... I'm trying to access a form value by using getElementByID and in NS i end up with a null reference.
The following HTML is the form component that gives me headache: <form name='task' ...> .... <select name='prioritySelect' class='selectwidth'> <option value=''>Choose one</option> <option value=Ƈ'>Critical</option> <option value=ƈ'>High</option> <option value=Ɖ'>Medium</option> <option value=Ɗ'>Low</option> </select> .... </form>
And the related javascript code: if(document.getElementById("prioritySelect").disabled == false) { ... }
When digging into this I can get the desired information by using document.task.prioritySelect, but that should not be necessary, right?
I hope that anyone knows how to deal with this problem..
i am fairly new to javascript and XML. i'm trying to loop through some nodes and drop the output into a series of DIVs using getElementById. here's the code for that: Code:
I cannot get the 2 getElementById functions to work and I am a beginner so I am sure it is something simple but I have not been able to fix it. I need to click on the text to change the font.
