GetAttribute Isn't Getting The Attribute

Mar 29, 2007

I'm trying to get the value of an object's property. getAttribute returns "null" even though I'm sure the property is set. I can easily set the property, and in my actual script I do so dynamically. I just want to read the property and can't.

To help explain my problem, I've attached an example .html file as a .txt file.

The critical part of the code is this section that is based on "textbook" examples of how to get an attribute:

<script type="text/javascript">
function
showcolor() {
var myobject = document.getElementById("lab");
var myproperty = myobject.getAttribute("color");

alert(myproperty);
}
</script>

This is called via a button on the bottom of the page. The DIV object with the ID "lab" exists and has a color attribute defined in CSS, but I cannot read it, nor any other attribute, with a script. The alert displays "null".

GetAttribute() In IE

Jun 23, 2006

I have the following code which is working in Firefox:

function showOptions() {
if(!document.getElementById) return false;
if(!document.getElementsByTagName) return false;
var lnks = document.getElementsByTagName("a");
for(var i=0; i<lnks.length; i++) {
alert(lnks[i].getAttribute("class"));
if(lnks[i].getAttribute("class") == "toggle") {
lnks[i].onclick = function() {
var options = document.getElementById("multiretailers");
options.style.display="block";
}}}}

I understand that IE doesn't like he getAttribute() method and is
returning null for the class name.

What are the work arounds for this?

GetAttribute('style') Not Working In IE

Nov 24, 2005

I'm 2 for 2 on stupid questions this works in FireFox but not in IE it's not returning the value of the style element and I'm getting [object] error??

document.getElementById('test').innerHTML = document.getElementById('id_CompanyName').getAttri bute('style');


<div class="dR4C2">
<p id="id_CompanyName" style="font-size:<%=aspNameFontSize%>px;">
<%=aspCompanyName%>
</p>
</div>

It seems to be a problem with the getAttribute('style') portion of the code because if I change the request to getAttribute('id') it executes properly....

I am trying to get a url attribute from an xml node:

JQuery :: Setting 'class' Attribute In Bulk Attribute Syntax Without Quotes Breaks IE/Opera?

Jan 20, 2010

i have found a possible bug in 1.4 but it's only in Internet Explorer 7 & 8.The following code does not work and completely ruins every peice of jquery on the page (that means everything inside $(document).ready and anyting else...

$("<div/>",{
id: 'tooltip-'+rand,
class: 'dock-tooltip',

[code]....

I cant see any syntax errors - i pulled the example from the 1.4 site. There is no trailing commas in the object notation and i really cant see any reason it would work in firefox and not IEx and more to the point not only not work in IEx but break any other jquery in the entire page....

JQuery :: Css Attribute Selectors No Longer Work With The '$' In The Attribute Value As Of 1.5+

Mar 4, 2011

I'm working with a large (and unweildy) ASP.NET application, and there is a lot of jQuery code that uses selectors like this:

[name=_aspnetControl$_withASubControl] And unfortunately, some selectors that also look like this:

[name^=_someAspNetControl$_radioButtonList].

In other words, the effort to remove the $ from the attribute selectors would be monumental. If it is possible to escape the $ symbols, I can do that easily enough, but unfortunately the situation right now means that I can't upgrade to jQuery 1.5.

Difference Between Empty Attribute And Undefined Attribute

Apr 24, 2007

I'll trying to tell the difference between the following three cases:

<img alt="text string" />
<img alt="" />
<img />

I can do this in Firefox with the following code, where elem is the
HTMLElement representing each image, but IE doesn't seem to
differentiate between empty string and undefined.

var alt = elem.getAttribute('alt');
alt = (alt) ? alt : ((alt===null) ? 'really_null' : "");

The desired output from running this code on the 3 tags above is:

text string

really_null

It seems like this should be really easy...but I'm having a really
difficult time trying to figure out what's going on...
