GetElementsByTagName('TagName').length Is Not Working In FireFox?
May 27, 2010
xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName('TagName').length is not working in FireFox xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName('TagName').length is returning 0 in FireFox. its worth mentioning taht xmlDoc.load(XmlFile) is working fine in Firefox while its ok in IE.
following is my code:
if (mozilla) {
xmlDoc = document.implementation.createDocument("", "", null);
xmlDoc.async=false;
xmlDoc.load(XmlFil);
The problem is that it keeps returning a value of 0 every loop. When tested in Internet Explorer, FireFox and Google Chrome, it works just fine, returning values as it should (in this case the values of 32, 36, 35, 36). However, like i said, Safri returns 0, 0, 0, 0.
Crazy thing is, before it calls the checkArray() function, i check to make sure its sending the correct number and it does, so its something to do with the .length part since i did a check on that and that's where its coming up with the 0's.
var aryItems = new Array(); function add2Array(theName){aryItems[aryItems.length] = theName;} function checkArray(theName){ for ( var z=0, len = aryItems.length; z < len; ++z ){
i used the String.length(string) function in javascript to get the length of string but nothing happened. It doesn't give me a value when i tried to view the result using an alert function. Actually, this kind of problem does not only exist with the length function, it's also the same with the trim(). I have not tried using other functions but perhaps it won't also work. What could be the possible reason for this?
I have a function that operates on left and right arrow keypress, but I want to temporarily "return true" if they're pressed while an input has focus.One way I thought of was to check the tagname of the event? The other way is to check the length of the input:focus array, but I reckon that'd be slower?[code]Is it possible to:
a) filter the document so that input fields are avoided b) return true based on a check on e's tag name (help required) c) other
From the current documentation about prop(): The .prop() method is a convenient way to set the value of properties—especially when setting multiple properties, using values returned by a function, or setting values on multiple elements at once. It should be used when setting selectedIndex, tagName, nodeName, nodeType, ownerDocument, defaultChecked, or defaultSelected. Since jQuery 1.6, these properties can no longer be set with the .attr() method. They do not have corresponding attributes and are only properties. On reading this, I was fascinated by the idea that I could use jQuery to instantly change one tag into anotherwith .prop("tagName","newtag"). But it doesn't seem to work. Runnin
I found this plugin for converting xml to json which I need for myapplication at least temporarily until the server can get me JSONdirectly. The jQuery Plugin to convert xml to json works pretty goodit seems but i've found a bug.I have a structure that looks like something this:
I am working on a Javascript application and i am facing a strange behavior of the application in IE. I am creating a table at runtime using DHTML and registering event for the table row click. When i deploy this application on web server and browse the application, the events fires in firefox and chrome but in IE the events are not fired. If i browse the application from the server with localhost, the application triggers the events and fails when i use machine name.
The following is the source code:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <title></title>
I got a table with some select, inputs and textareas in it. if i click a button i execute addRow function which populates the row and creates new elements in each cell (new selects, inputs, textareas). But i dont know why, when i get a child of TD where select is the tagName is undefined and nodeName is #text, for INPUT and TEXTAREA it works perfect.
Some code
Code:
It happen so in Chrome and FF, in IE works fine (first time something that works here and doesnt in ff)
I have are created dynamically buttonset toggle radio button with following code. All is working okay but just I have added onclick function which is doing window.location which is working with FireFox but not working with IE and google chrome.
<script type="text/javascript"> var chars = 'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ'; $(function () { $('#btnSet').buttonstrip();
I have a jQuery code to allow users to login using a lightbox [URL] and immediately start downloading files, without being redirected or having the page reloaded. It's perfectly working in Firefox but Internet Explorer keeps showing the login box until I reload the page
And I want to save all the text ("all" meaning the tags and everything) between the <td> and </td>. Using JavaScript, I was able to isolate the <td></td> by doing:
var w = myTable.getElementsByTagName("TD");
So then I have an IF statement within a FOR loop that looks like:
if (w.item(i).className == "regular1b") alert(w[i].childNodes[0].nodeValue);
The ALERT() is just a place holder to make sure things are working. The thing is, nodeValue returns NULL because there's no actual text within the <td></td> tags; the only thing there is more HTML code, and the text between the <span></span> apparently isn't considered part of the <td></td> tags.
I'm using the getElementsByTagName method to obtain a customer listing of records. So far so good. However, I also want to reference the child nodes of the customer records.
I'm trying to run a script that runs in every browser except IE (IE 7) this is part of the script [code]...
On every other browser the alert(listLines.length) give me the number "16" that is the number of 'li' tags but in IE7 gives me [object] so as soon i get in the 'for' the scrip stop in IE.
I have some img tags in my HTML code, and I am trying to implement some manipulation on each image. Thing is, when using document.getElementsByTagName('img'), the JS engine skips every 2nd img tag, so I get an array with only half of the deal.
Here's the deal, If I access the page directly on my pc via the file system (i.e. I open up the file via: file::/path../main.html, the page and script runs just fine.
If however I point the browser to tomcat i.e. localhost:8080/blah firefox spits out the error: getElementsByTagName is not a function.
Any thoughts or pointers? I'm totally confused over this..this is a built in function call?
note: I did an instanceof on the object making the call, and it does indeed confirm it is an object.
ps. I have confirmed I can access the all scripts/css files from the webserver (tomcat)
System: FireFox (1.5.04), Tomcat, IE6 (also fails, even though I haven't found out how to see the js error details?)
Are there any ways to edit the html within an element without knowing the TagName?
I'm trying to add html code within a <td> element that has no name or ID. What I do know is that it's the third <td> element within the only <tr> in the table. Assume that none of the elements in the file have IDs or names. The html is produced by a compiled program, so I have no way of editing the HTML in order to add names or IDs. Code:
