SetAttribute + IE 6
Apr 6, 2007this 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");
}
JavaScript SetAttribute
Jul 23, 2005I 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=
'+metaName+' value '+value);
for (var i=0; i<metas.length; i++) {
if (metas[i].getAttribute(metaTag)==metaName)
break;
}
if (debug) alert('[setMetaContent] i='+i+' value '+value);
metas[i].setAttribute('content',value);
}
and I call it with:
SetAttribute() In Opera 7.54 Win
Mar 27, 2005I'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.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI Can Not Add Onclick Property With SetAttribute On IE.
Dec 10, 2006I 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=...'
SetAttribute Multiple Instances
Nov 18, 2007I 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?

Jul 18, 2007I 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?

View 3 Replies View RelatedSetAttribute Works GREAT In FireFox - Ie Doesn't Like It
May 10, 2011I'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.

Element.setAttribute('onclick' - Setup A Form With Radio Buttons - "Object" Is Undefined Error
Jan 26, 2010I 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!

Declare A Variable Inside A Function - Returns White Space - Not Variable Value
Aug 17, 2010I am trying to declare a variable inside a function and use it later on in my code... but it just already returns white space... i.e. not variable value. I am setting it within this function:
function show_video1(){
document.getElementById('video1').style.display="block";
var video1Name = "Education World News (Part 1)";
document.getElementById('video2').style.display="none";
document.getElementById('video3').style.display="none";
document.getElementById('video4').style.display="none";
[Code]...
and trying to call it later on with this: <script type="text/javascript">document.write(video1Name)</script> It might be worth noting that each one of my 11 videos will hace a different name.

It works great, except one minor issue that I'm struggling with...I just can't specify dynamically in the parent file that linkclass$id opens linkclasscontent$id as I don't know of any way to pass that $id variable back over to the parent.
View 3 Replies View RelatedOnclick Defined Variable - Print Variable Some Place In Document
May 28, 2007i'm not really sure how to explain this, since I know nothing about javascript, so i'll try and illustrate by the use of php (hope it makes sence)
I have a set of different links, like:
<a href="link.com?page=text1">text 1</a>
<a href="link.com?page=text2">text 2</a>
<a href="link.com?page=text3">text 3</a>
etc, where page is dynamic and can be anything I chose..
Another place in the same document, I echo out what the page variable is, like:
echo "$page";
so when clicking "text 1" the echo will output what i've defined the page to be, in this case "text1" ..
So I want to be able to click the links and change the output of the echo all depending on what i've defined in the link - without refreshing the page!
Is there any easy way to do this?
ChangeYear - GetFullYear - SetFullYear Functions - Extract The 4-digit Value From The Today Variable And Store The Value In A Variable Named Year
Oct 13, 2009a.) specify two parameters for the changeYear function: today and holiday.
function changeYear(today)(holiday){
b.) in the first line of the above function, use the getFullYear() date method to extract the 4-digit value from the today variable and store the value in a variable named year.
first line
c.) in the second line; use the setFullYear() date method to set the full year of the holiday date object to the value of the year variable.
second line
d.) in the third line, use a conditional operator on the year variable. The test condition is whether the value of the holiday date object is less than the today date object. If it is, this means that the event has already passed in the current year and the value of the year variable should be increased by 1.
third line
e.) in the fourth line of the function, again set the full year value of the holiday date object to the value of the year variable.

External File The LoadTabs Variable Will Not Allow To Pass It A Variable
Dec 1, 2009I start outside of the external JS file by: reviews.init(); reviews.initialiseContent('comment'); This loads my data and loads + sets the comment tab as default. My problem is that in the external JS file (shown below) the loadTabs variable will not allow me to pass it a variable: contentDiv.onclick = this.initialiseContent; Whenever I pass a variable here it errors, am I setting this up correctly, should I be using prototype for my this. variables? Interested to hear back on if this structure of code is the right way to go about this and also how I can pass a variable in this way :)
