Need Help Dynamically Creating Forms With DOM
Jul 23, 2005
I'm trying to create a fairly simple form which contains a label, a
button, and a textbox.
I've done quite a bit of reading and, from what I can figure, the
following should work, but isn't....
var rowCommentBox = document.createElement("TR");
var cellCommentBox = document.createElement("TD");
var frmCommentBox = document.createElement("FORM");
frmCommentBox.setAttribute("METHOD", "POST");
var strAction = ""submitComments.asp?Org="+strOrg+"&date="+activeWeekBegins""
frmCommentBox.setAttribute("ACTION", strAction);
var rowFrmCommentBox = document.createElement("TR");
var cellFrmCommentBoxLabel = document.createElement("TD");
var strFrmCommentLabel = document.createTextNode("comment:");
var cellFrmCommentBoxButton = document.createElement("TD");
var btnFrmCommentBoxButton = document.createElement("INPUT");
btnFrmCommentBoxButton.setAttribute("TYPE", "SUBMIT");
btnFrmCommentBoxButton.setAttribute("VALUE", "UPDATE");
var cellFrmCommentBoxTxtbx = document.createElement("TD");
var txtbxFrmCommentBoxTxtbx = document.createElement("INPUT");
txtbxFrmCommentBoxTxtbx.setAttribute("TYPE", "TEXT");
txtbxFrmCommentBoxTxtbx.setAttribute("cols", "50");
txtbxFrmCommentBoxTxtbx.setAttribute("VALUE", strComments);
cellFrmCommentBoxLabel.appendChild(strFrmCommentLa bel);
rowFrmCommentBox.appendChild(cellFrmCommentBoxLabe l);
cellFrmCommentBoxButton.appendChild(btnFrmCommentB oxButton);
rowFrmCommentBox.appendChild(cellFrmCommentBoxButt on);
cellFrmCommentBoxTxtbx.appendChild(txtbxFrmComment BoxTxtbx);
rowFrmCommentBox.appendChild(cellFrmCommentBoxTxtb x);
frmCommentBox.appendChild(rowFrmCommentBox);
rowCommentBox.appendChild(frmCommentBox);
tbodyOrgToAdd.appendChild(rowCommentBox);

I can see dozens of examples (both with and without jQuery) of javascript being used to append rows to tables within forms, but I can't find any example where more than one table is used.
I'll try to illustrate the idea with a crude sketch...

When I add a tab, whose content is a form. The form is loaded by ajax $.ajax('url'); On ajax complete, I add a custom method for validation, which is supposed to get called when the "Upload" button in the form is clicked, but it never get called. I have searched and tried multiple things for two days now, and nothing works.

I am using the JQuery validation plug in for form validations. My page contains a loop in which dynamic forms are generated and within each form some text fields are also dynamically generated. I have assigned the id and name attributes both to form and fields with dynamically appending a value. Now I want to apply the validation on all these form, please note that each form contains its own submit button. I have tried using the following selector,

I have a form, and i am trying to add the values of 5 fields into one javascript variable. Then i need an ajax function to search a directory for a php file made from these variables and return a "file exists" or "file doesnt exist" message to the form.
For example, assume the following values have been inputted into the fields;
Field1 (Manufacturer) - Kawasaki
Field2 (Model_Name) - GPZ500
Field3 (Nickname) - None
Field4 (Market) - UK
Field5 (Year) - 2000
Then javascript needs to add the values of Field1 - Field5 (and add a few bits)to create (for example):
Kawasaki_GPZ500_None_UK_2000.php
Then i need ajax to search a web directory for the file above, and if it exists return a link, or if it doesnt exist tell the user it doesnt exist.
im hoping that i can use ajax to do this search without clicking any buttons etc. unfortunately i have very little knowlegde of javascript and ajax and dont have a clue how i can go about implementing this.
i know how to do it by posting the variables to the next page and doing the check using php - but i would like instant validation as soon as the form fields have been entered.

I'm using the following code to create a quick and dirty search tool for a site we're building at work as part of an RFP.My issue is that rather than creating a new window for the results page (which is what it does now), I'd really prefer that a new div be dynamically created on the page where the results would be placed.Maybe that's not possible? At the very least,how to make the results display in the same window rather than opening a new one?
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
var item = new Array();
// "Page Name","path","Page Title","Many,Key,Words","Descriptive Comments"

I created <a> tag dynamically and attached event to it.
Code:
var link = document.createElement("a");
link.setAttribute('class','devNodeStyle');
link.setAttribute("title",device);
link.setAttribute("href","javascript:void(0);");
link.attachEvent("onclick",openDevDetailWindow);
"attachEvent" is working only in IE. How to make that working in other browsers like Chrome/FF?

I am trying to create a function that creates an array comprised of filenames based on a given range. I.E if 2-8 is selected and a foldername of UMCP/ and a common name of college is also given, the function should return and array such as [UMCP/college2.jpg,UMCP/college3.jpg.....UMCP/college8.jpg]. Here is what I've got but the alert that should tell me the filename of the first image says it is undefined, how can i fix this?
function getArrayPhotosNames (total,count,first,last) {
/*window.alert("get Array Photo Names");*/
var folderName = document.getElementById("photofold").value;
var Alias = document.getElementById("commonName").value;

I've got an input with a value. The input is called 'command2' and I want to send it's value to the 'rover2' object (although I don't know if that object exists yet). I test and say if(rover2){... and if not then I create the object/if so then I insert the value.Question is: I want to do:Code JavaScript:var rover2 = new Rover();but I want to pass the name of the new object by association, so in effect:Code JavaScript:var "rover"+i = new Rover();How would you do that? So that the objects and their names are generated dynamically (or [perhaps a better explanation] so that the string value of a variable can be used as the name of new variable/object)?PS Bonus marks: If I hold HTML fragments as an object and those fragments include inputs, is the value of the input collected as well? i.e. if I have
Code HTML4Strict:
<fieldset>
<input id="foo" type="text" />

Here's my problem: I need to create a variable name dynamically, made up of a string (say "var_name_") and an integer. Ultimately I want something like this:
var_name_1 = 'whatever value I want'
var_name_2 = 'whatever value I want'
var_name_3 = 'whatever value I want'
...
var_name_N = 'whatever value I want'
But the actual variable names are determined at run-time, so I can't just hardcode them.
Any suggestions? JavaScript doesn't seem to have a Variable type, so I can't just cast a string into a var...

As part of my form I have a box for the user to input the number of text boxes needed. I already have the page creating the textboxes but do not know the IDs of each text box. Once the user adds textboxes they can click add again to create more. If the user previously added 3 textboxes and now enters 4 I want the program to just add one more instead of 4 more.

I have form that asks a simple question: "How many XYZs do you want to create?" Then, for every XYZ, it should create several new labels/inputs in the form.
That is, every XYZ looks like this:
<div id="xyz">
<label>Whatever</label>
<input> blah blah blah </input
</div>
I looked into .each() and .live(), but I can't wrap my mind around how to do this.

I want to find a way of using canvas tags that are created at runtime. I went about this by trying to change the id of the tag, ONLY to find out that javascript did not like the fact that I was using numbers, even though I converted to String first...
var count = 0;
for (var item=0; item<20; item ++) {
if (count%5==0){
document.write(" ||| ");
}
var canv = document.createElement("canvas");
canv.setAttribute('width',300);
canv.setAttribute('height',300);
num = 505;
aStr = num.toString(); // does NOT do the job for some reason !!!???
aStr = 'canvas'; // this works...
canv.setAttribute('id',aStr);
document.body.appendChild(canv);
count += 1;
}
var C = document.getElementById(canv.getAttribute('id'));
if (C.getContext) {
makePlot(C); // does the plot to the canvas
}

I'm a JavaScript noob, and I'm playing with it. I have some code which created a div inside another div by using the innerHTML of the outer div. That had an onclick event which worked fine. Now I'm trying to create the div as an object, so I'm doing something like this:
Code JavaScript:
var obj = document.createElement('div');
obj.id = "object";
obj.onClick = function() {alert("Clicked");};
obj.innerHTML = "something"; // an img tag in the actual code
document.getElementById('objects').appendChild(obj);
The new div is shown, but clicking on it does nothing. (I originally had another function, but changed to the alert for testing.)

Im having problem generating the labels for content created by the following function:
function setOutput(){
if(httpObject.readyState == 4){
var answer = httpObject.resultsponseText.split(",");
var results = document.getElementById("resultsultadosScan1");
var article = document.createElement("div");
var weight = document.createElement("div");
var price = document.createElement("div");
article.className = "article";
weight.className = "weight";
price.className = "price";
document.getElementById('outputText0').value = httpObject.innerHTML= answer[0];
document.getElementById('outputText1').value = httpObject.innerHTML= answer[1];
document.getElementById('outputText2').value = httpObject.innerHTML= answer[2];
article.innerHTML = httpObject.innerHTML= answer[0];
weight.innerHTML = httpObject.innerHTML= answer[1];
price.innerHTML = httpObject.innerHTML= answer[2];
results.appendChild(article);
results.appendChild(weight);
results.appendChild(price);
}
}
A friend wrote this sample script to achieve generation of labels on my script, but I have been trying for hours with no luck, can someone take a look and tell me the correct usage of this script:
Code:
function createLabel() {
var target = document.getElementById("target");
var label = document.createElement("label");
var text = document.createTextNode("Article");
label.appendChild(text);
target.appendChild(label);
}
Can you help me with the correct "combination" using my script above, a "real life" example?

html and javascript and am having problems getting a table to be generated from a given set of rows and cols. I was successful at creating the table, but trying to add functionality such as mouse over is giving me some trouble. I have a feeling its because my variables are out of scope when the function is hit, but can't think of a better way to do it.
function setTable(){
var myElem = document.getElementById('tableDiv');
numRows = 16;

I need to recalculate the number of rows based on a day/week combination.. ex: September 1st 2011 falls on a Thursday so my pattern would look like this:

I'm trying to dynamically create and remove items from a list, it works just fine. Sort of, I can remove items, and create items, but once an item has been created, I cannot remove it again, but I can remove the items present when the page loads.
Here is my code
<div class="list">
<div class="item">
<input type="text" value="" /> <a href="" class="removeitem">Remove this item</a>
</div><div class="item">
<input type="text" value="" /> <a href="" class="removeitem">Remove this item</a>
</div><a href="" class="additem">Add item to list</a>
</div><script type="text/javascript">
// Add item to list
$('.additem').click(function(){
var template = $($(this).prev().get(0)).clone();
template.insertBefore($(this));
return false;
});
// Remove item from list
$('.removeitem').click(function(){
$(this).prev().parent().remove();
return false;
});
</script>
I can remove the 2 original items, but when I create new ones, they cannot be removed.

I am probably going about this all wrong, but I'm not sure how to do this.Basically I need to create a unique variable name for each element that has the same class name and set each one to zero.I thought I could just concatenate the index value to a variable name to create unique names. Something like:
$('.toggle-trigger').each(function(){
var toggleTriggerIndex = $('.toggle-trigger').index(this);
var t + toggleTriggerIndex = 0;

I have here a code that will automatically generate two text fields (Title & Price) when "Add another article" is pressed. I got this from the web, but I want instead of using a text field, I want it to create a drop down menu based on a mysql table, then update the price automatically (also based on the mysql table) on the other text field once a selection has been made on the drop down menu.
