SetAttribute Href - Why Wont It Work?
Sep 23, 2009
Im writing a piece of javascript that dynamically adds a link to a page, this is the code i'm using
var newP;
newP = document.createElement("a");
newP.innerHTML = "Click here";[code].........
However, it wont work?!?! the link appears in the right place on the page when i remove the line newP.setAttribute("href","http:[url]......);and if i view the source the link is <a>Click here</a> (without any href) so there's got to be something wrong with that line but i don't know what it is.I'm using firefox.

I've a problem with this ajax function, the url doesn't actualize. I want to see the hash in url, but with the function it's not possible. Why?The code I use in php is:
Code:
<br><a href="#nosotros" onClick="FAjax('nosotros.php' ,'capaContenedora','','get'); return false"><b>nosotros</b></a>
And the function is:
Code:
function FAjax (url,capa,valores,metodo)
{
var ajax=creaAjax();
var capaContenedora = document.getElementById(capa);

I have a link that has an mp3 sound as its href:<a href="sounds/genealogy.mp3" class="track track-default"> this is a link</a>. Unfortunately, I also need that same link to go to a part on the site (href=#greenhouse) so that the sound plays on that part of the site.

I have this line in an XHTML form:
Code:
<input type="reset" name="cancel" value="Cancel"
onclick="javascript:window.location.href('/index.php');" />
In IE5.5 clicking the cancel button loads the index.php page fine.
In Firefox 1.0 & also the version of IE running on my IPAQ it doesn't work - clicking the button doesn't do anything.
Anyone have any ideas or alternative solutions?
I thought maybe I was using an IE only thing but it is a version of IE on the IPAQ. I thought maybe it was not standards compliant but I haven't found anyone having a similar problem.
Any idea or advice?
TIA, BG.
PS Ignore that I am using a reset button to do this - I have also tried it in the body tag like this:
Code:
<body onload="javascript:alert('Login Successfull!
You are logged into my app');window.location.href('/myapp/index.php');">

I'm trying to setup a page that uses JavaScript in a text link to submit a form:
<a href="do.htm" onclick="javascript:document.forms.Q01.submit();">
I also have added a fallback page in the href (do.htm) in case users have JavaScript disabled. But the JavaScript doesn't seem to be working. When I click the link it always goes to the fallback page, and doesn't submit the form.
I've tried swaping the order in the anchor tag (JS first, href second):
<a onclick="javascript:document.forms.Q01.submit();" href="do.htm">
and the same thing happens.
If I remove the href value:
<a href="#" onclick="javascript:document.forms.Q01.submit();">
the JS does execute properly.
How can I get the JS to execute by default for browsers that support it, and the href be the backup for browsers that dont support it?

I've got a little Quizzer program that asks a question in the upper frame of a frameset and then lists the answer in the lower frame. Answers can be plain text, straight html, a sound, or a LINK. I have a function that builds the answer frame using document.write(among other things). This code works fine until you encounter a link. It dutifully displays the link in the lower frame but the very next question builds the newContent perfectly but does NOT write it to the frame even though it appears to execute it.
if (answerType == "link")
{
parent.frames[1].location = URL;
} else {
// pitiful attempt to clear linked page
parent.frames[1].location.href = "QuizzerAnswer.htm";
var newContent = '<html><head><title>Quizzer Answer</title>'
newContent += '</head>'
newContent += '<body>'
if (answerType == "text" || answerType == "html") {
newContent += answerValue;
}
if (answerType == "sound") {
newContent += '<embed src="' + answerValue;
newContent += '" width="170" height="25" autostart="true">'
}
newContent += '</body>'
newContent += '</html>'
parent.frames[1].document.write(newContent);
parent.frames[1].document.close();
}

this script updates an image on a page and resets the class name of a link. Works fine in Mozilla browser. However, the setAttribute method in the second function doesn't work in IE. Is there a known bug connected with this?
Any ideas?
var view;
//update image
function getView(view)
{
var source = view.getAttribute("href");
var imgsrc = document.getElementById("view");
imgsrc.setAttribute("src", source);
setClass(view);
}
// update class names of links
function setClass(view)
{
var arLinks = document.getElementsByTagName("a");
var ct = (arLinks.length-1);
for (var i=0; i<ct; i++)
{
arLinks[i].setAttribute("class", "inactive");
}
view.setAttribute("class", "active");
}

I am struggling to write an meta element in JS. The meta element in question
is the refresh element.
This is the code I am using

function setMetaContent(metaTag, metaName, value) {

var metas = document.getElementsByTagName('meta');
if (debug) alert('[setMetaContent] metaTag='+metaTag+' metaName=

for (var i=0; i<metas.length; i++) {

break;
}

metas[i].setAttribute('content',value);
}

I'm in the process of migrating a script to use DOM core methods but I've hit a roadblock in the aforementioned browser. The following code snippet illustrates what I'm basically trying to do, it really is incredibly basic!
var newimg = document.createElement('img');
newimg.setAttribute('id', 'placeholder');
newimg.setAttribute('src', 'images/large/courtyard.jpg');
I'm then positioning the element on the page using appendChild(). Everything works perfectly on Firefox 1, IE5+, Opera 8, Konqueror 3.3.1 (Linux) but not in Opera 7.54. I suspect the element is being created as associated styling on #placeholder is being applied (just some padding and borders) but the image itself is not being displayed. I assume therefore that the problems lies with setAttribute()?
This seems like the sort of problem that others would have encountered, but I haven't been able to find mention of it anywhere.

I'm using the following code (simplified version) to call a Json file, parse it and on each iteration, create a div with an ID of "tab". I'm using this with jQuery UI .tab() to create a listing with entries which have three tabs. Anyhow, the principle seems to work except that when I examine what's happening behind the scenes using Firefox console, I see that each href in the html code produced is causing the Json function to re-fire using the href as it's url target.

I am using the following code to create an 'a' element with 'texto' to add the onclick property to an object:
var vinculo = xCreateElement('a');
var nodoTexto = document.createTextNode('texto');
xAppendChild(vinculo, nodoTexto);
xAppendChild(celda2, vinculo);
vinculo.setAttribute('onclick', 'buscarSolucion(1,1,1)');
'celda2' is a table cell. This works with FF but not with IE. I solved this using a comment from here for the 'name' attribute, like this:
...
vinculo = xCreateElement('<a onClick="' + onClick + '">');
...
But I would like to put it in a function to make it general for any element that has the 'onclick' property. Is there any other way to set the 'onclick' attribute & to be understand by IE & FF?
NOTE: I also found that I can not set 'colspan', I have to set colSpan. Also, I can not set 'class' I have to use the canonical method with 'object.className=...'

I know there is a problem with IE (I wont bother inserting a witty comment here) on handling:
setAttribute('onclick','doStuff');
I have found
yourAnchor.onclick = function() {
// do what you want in here.
}
this works, but I the script I am working on is going through every DIV with a certain class and adding links to the div, I want the button to change something within the div where it is located so I need to pass the id of the parent div. I thought perhaps there was someway to find the id of the button pressed?

I have multiple attributes (class, id and title) that is needed to insert into a div together. All I know how to use setAttribute for single attribute. So the question is there an "array" setAttribute method to insert all attributes together into an element OR is there a "after" or "before" setAttribute method I can use to insert an attribute after or before other attribute?

I want to implement:
<a href=123 onclick="javascript:return false">123</a>
in DOM,
I have:
var link = document.createElement('a');
link.setAttribute('href', 123);
link.setAttribute('onclick', 'function() { return false; }');
but it doesn't work. The reason I want a href and onclick = false is because I want to drag and drop the 123.

I've been working on this for about four hours (two today, two yesterday) and keep hitting the brick wall. I'm trying to create a function that will add an attribute to specified tags. As the title says, it works great in FF and not at all in IE7. Probably the first question you'll ask after you see my code is "why?" Well, I've got a form with over 100 form fields in it, and if I can avoid manually adding an attribute to all of them, I'll take the JS route.

I am trying to setup a form with radio buttons. Each radio button has an OnClick event. When a radiobutton is clicked the current set of radio buttons will be replaced with a new set using document.createElement("input"). Each new radio button needs the same onclick event addedas in the initial set of radio buttons. I first tried:
element.setAttribute('onclick', MyFunction(value));
This, however, will somehow automatically trigger the onclick event! I searched on the internet and found this as the solution:
var new_onclick = function() { alert("this works!"); };
element.setAttribute('onclick', new_onclick);
This will give a "Object" is undefined error!

Is the form below a valid method of changing the id of an XHTML element, specifically the one actually being referenced? It does not seem to work for me.
document.getElementById("Original_Name").setAttribute("id", "New_name");
