GetElementsBy - Get Elements By Tage Name Object To Grab All The Divs And Then Edit Their Display To "none"?
Dec 15, 2011
I have never used this object before and don't know a whole lot about javascript or DOM. I am trying to create a select menu so that when you click an option it turns the display attribute of the coorosponding div to just "" from the initial "none". This works fine just by grabbing the right ID.
I also want to hide all other divs, even if they were previsously selected by mistake, so I thought I could use the get elements by tage name object to grab all the divs and then edit their display to "none". Maybe this is completely the wrong way to go about what I want to do, because eventually there will have to be forms nested within these divs.
I wonder if someone could tell me where I am going wrong with this script. The original implementation of finding a DL list and separating it by dt | dd groups and making new DL's from them worked good. It found only one DL by getElementById.
The problem I am having is now to process multiple lists in which are found now by a unique class name on the DL instead of getElementById and only processing one DL. I'm not really sure how to explain where I am going wrong but here is the code....
I'm trying to grab all of the elements of a DL, specifically the <a href>'s grouping them by the DD's. I suppose if I can just get them into groups I can get the href's later. The hard part is getting them grouped as explained below. For example...
Is there a way to say, loop through the DL until it finds a DT. Whe it finds one, grab it and all of the DD's that immediately follow it .. until it comes to another DT. Group it with its DD's and continue until no more DT's are found.
Then maybe take these collections and possibly populate an array with the groups?
I am using javascript to switch between a series of divs, on clicking a navigation tab the divs display property is set to 'block' and all other divs have their display property set to 'none'. That works fine, the problem I have is when I redirect to another page (e.g. a PHP script) on return to the index the divs have reset and only the default div is shown, rather than the div that was showing when the user left the page. The solution, as I see it, is two stages: Write a function to display the relevant div based on the variable passed to it, then work out how to pass this variable around various pages (post/get). I am very inexperienced with javascript and it drives me mad that the script literally does nothing rather than throwing up an error (as in PHP) but this is what I have so far in terms of a function:
I've got a javascript object is "is" that has dynamically populated properties. I make an ajax call to my database to grab usernames associated with unique ID's and populate the javascript. I can call a property directly like this: aler (is.softUser1) or alert(is.softUser2) and show the corresponding values. However since what is being returned from the database is dynamic I may need to call is.softUser5 or is.softUser8 so I need to do that call dynamically. code...
and that obviously doesn't work.
Is there a way that I can dynamically call that property based on whatever value "user" is?
I create tablerows and cells dynimaic dependent on a ajax-request. Now i want to add droppable attribut to it with a plugin. I can manek the plugin work if i use static HTML, but my dynimic created elements seems to not be able to edit.All elements get class="drop" and even the easy code like $(".drop").hide(); does not effect my dynamic elements.[code]
I have divs that contain html text. What I need is when I move mouse over that div link is displayed to edit content.
I have such code: $J('div.editable_content').mouseover(function(event) { $J(event.target).css("border", "1px solid black"); $J('div.content_edit', event.target).show(); return true; }).mouseout(function(event) { $J(event.target).css("border", "0px"); setTimeout(function(){ $J('div.content_edit', event.target).hide(); }, 2000); return true; });
But the problem is that if I move mouse on content that is inside this div (for example image) than mouseout event is triggered. One solution would be adding this event to all elements inside that div. What selector should I use to select all elements inside div ("div.editable_content *" and "div.editable_content > *" does not seem to work for this problem)? Any better solutions how to do this without attaching events to all elements?
I'm working on my personal website [URL] and I'm trying to use Javascript to edit some of the height and size attributes of elements on the page, based on the user's window size. I've got the code that gets the window size working, and calculates what I want to set as the "boxSize" but the part that goes into the external CSS to change the values is not working. "boxSize" is a variable that holds just a number. I'm not sure if it's really stored as a number or a string, but I don't think that's supposed to affect anything.
I'm just putting in the relevant part of the code right where it's failing. I figured out (using alert() statements) that the script is definitely working right up until before the two lines given, and failing to get through them.
I don't know whether jqgrid provides this or not? but what my actual requirement is "I want to display format of date like 'MM/DD/YYYY' behind my birthdate's textbox, so user will enter proper date while he insert/update particular record from jqgrid.." In short how to display format text in jqgrid's insert/edit dialog??
I am developing a web application in which I need to integrate a javascript/html editor on some of the web pages and then provide 'Edit' buttons on those web pages so that users can edit the content on that partciular html/jsp page (like editing in wiki pages) and then, when they add some content and click on submit button, the new content should appear on the web page with all the formatting (i.e. bold, italics, color and so on) which was applied by user when he was entering the text.
Now, I need help for the below issues:
1. Suggest me a good javascript/html editor (freely downloadable) which I can use to integrate with my web pages.
2. Once the user has entered some content using the above javascript editor, how to make that content reach the server and update the corresponding web page.
Does the detach method work recursively? Say I have a div with a considerable number of elements, sub divs, etc and many of these elements have listeners, will detach preserve all of these elements or just the listeners on the parent?
I have a list of checkboxes that a user can select and drag and drop in any order. The selected items and the order thatthey are in are saved in a cookie value (using a cookie plugin). The function below retrieves the cookie value and loops through the values stored in the cookie and now I want to display only those div sections which are in the cookie and in the same order (this is the part that I'm having trouble with). I have each div with a style of display:none and I could just just the display: value to show them but how do I output them/display them in the same order as the cookie value?
function listOrder() { var list = $(setSelector); if (list == null) return
i want to implement something very similar to this (youtube).[URL]My javascript knowledges are low. I think it has something to be with onload and onclick events with links.Do i have to write a function and include it on the html page?Where do i have to put the diferent contents?I would prefer to separate html content and javascript since i have some variable to display from my template engine like {$name}, {$uploaded_date}, etc.
I'm doing a page w/lots of divs that I set to visibile or hidden dynamically using getElementById.. the divs are all forms... sometimes elements in a hidden form show thru on a visible form.. how can I fix this..
I've used countdown timers etc. that use the Jquery library, so I know it's possible for Jquery to retrieve the date and time for use.I was wondering if there is a way to limit the time a DIV is shown depending on the time or date. For example:
<div class="show_content"> Content </div>
And I want to show this DIV only from 12 am onwards on the day of 16th December
I have two left floated divs - in the left div I want a series of drop downs (possibly check boxes as well) about a series of products. When the user makes their decision and presses submit, I want the form to submit to a javascript function that says "Right, you will need, from your responses, product C" and in the right hand floated div, a series of hidden product info divs whose visibility is changed depending on which product the function determines is the one for you.
Broken down into parts I think I need to do the following:
a) Standard HTML form with drop downs etc and submit
b) Hidden divs
c) Submission process locally to javascript function to determine which product to show/hide
d) Javascript function that makes the decision
e) Javascript that hides/shows products
Unfortunately a server side option is not available; it has to be a client side solution and I only could think of javascript. I can probably handle all bar c) and d)
I have five DIV tags that contain a photo and brief bio for partners of an accounting firm. I need to randomize these DIV tags (id="d1" - "d5") to display only one of the tags on each page load. Normally, I would do this with ColdFusion but the client isn't willing to purchase the language support for their hosting system. A sample of one of the DIVs is below.
What I want to do is have 5 <div>s displayed in a fixed position on my page. The divs will contain text and pictures. Only one div is displayed at a time, and every 5 seconds, the next div slides over the top of the current div (from right to left) until it is completely obscured. At the conclusion of the fifth, it starts again with number 1.
I have created a servlet that does nothing more than create a XML file.i have got some JQuery code that reloads the servlet to get the XML data.This works fine and i am able to load the data i want, the problem i have is that when the data is loaded to the jsp page it displays [object Document] in front of my output.
I'm attempting to change the display property of certain divs depending on the criteria of multiple select boxes.
I got it to work by GetElementsByTagName('div') but it then selects all divs rather then the select few i actually want it to work on. I tried changing the selection to GetElementsByName but this doesn't work, why i don't really know.
I am trying to display some xml elements that are formatted like [code]...
I can see that this is because of the [0] in the getElementsByTagName - if I change it to 1 or 2 it shows the 2nd or 3rd set of directions. But I want it to show all of them.
