JavaScript - Document.write And Page Never Finishes Loading
So I have an HTML page with javascript that takes input values, computes some results, and then puts these results in a table. Works great. Now I realize some users might want to print just the results table. So I add a button that allows the user to request the table in a separate window; clicking the button invokes a script to re-create the table in a separate window. Works fine except:
* In the status bar, the window appears to never finish loading * If you go to File -> Print then nothing seems to happen; however, if you close the generated window _then_ the print dialog appears; the window you want to print, however, is gone. Any suggestions? The code invoked by clicking the newly added button: [CODE] function grabResults() { var w = window.open("","ROIResults"+winCount++, "height=400,width=600,menubar=yes"); var d = w.document; d.write('<head>'); d.write('<link href="style.css" title="compact" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />'); d.write('<title>Return On Investment Calculations</title>'); d.write('</head>'); d.write('<body>'); d.write('<div id="logoholder">'); d.write(' <img src="TTFlogo2.gif" alt="Cannott display logo" "width="322" width="322" height="51"></p>'); d.write('</div>'); d.write('<div id="header">'); d.write(' <h2>Return on Investment Estimator for Classroom Training</h2>'); d.write('</div>'); d.write('<table rules="all" frame="box">'); d.write('<caption>Results - Estimated ROI</caption>'); d.write(' <tr><th>Course</th>'); d.write('<td class="center" id="courseName">'+cname+'</td>'); d.write(' </tr>'); d.write(' <tr><th>Duration (Days)</th>'); d.write('<td class="center" id="courseDur">'+cdays+'</td>'); d.write(' </tr>'); d.write(' <tr><th>Class Size</th>'); d.write('<td class="center" id="courseSize">'+csize+'</td>'); d.write(' </tr>'); d.write(' <tr><th>Location</th>'); d.write('<td class="center" id="courseLoc">'+teach_loc+'</td>'); d.write(' </tr>'); d.write(' <tr><th>Training Cost</th>'); d.write('<td class="justr" id="courseCost">'+TC+'</td>'); d.write(' </tr>'); d.write(' <tr><th>Initial Value</th>'); d.write('<td class="justr" id="courseInitial">'+startValue+'</td>'); d.write(' </tr>'); d.write(' <tr><th>Returned Value</th>'); d.write('<td class="justr" id="courseValue">'+RV+'</td>'); d.write(' </tr>'); d.write(' <tr><th>Increase in Value</th>'); d.write('<td class="justr" id="courseIncr">'+Inc+'</td>'); d.write(' </tr>'); d.write(' <tr><th>Net ROI after costs</th>'); d.write('<td class="justr" id="courseROI">'+ROI+'</td>'); d.write(' </tr>'); d.write(' <tr><th>ROI Rate</th>'); d.write('<td class="justr" id="courseROIRate">'+ROIR.toFixed(2)+'%</td>'); d.write('</tr> '); */ d.write('</table>'); d.write('<p class="in3">(All amounts are in US Dollars.)</p>'); d.write('</body>'); d.write('</html>'); d.close(); return true; } [ICODE] Similar TutorialsI've written the following html, <html> <head> <script type="text/javascript"> function createpage(){ var first = document.getElementById('first').value var second = document.getElementById('second').value var third = document.getElementById('third').value var j = window.open('random'); var new_page = '<html><head><script type="text/javascript">function open_win() { window.open(first) window.open(second) window.open(third) } </script></head><body onLoad = "open_win()"></body></html>'; j.document.write(new_page); j.document.close(); } </script> </head> <body> <form action=""> <p> First Link: <input type="text" id="first" name="first"/> Second Link: <input type="text" id="second" name="second"/> Third Link: <input type="text" id="third" name="third"/> <input type=BUTTON value="Submit" name="mySubmit" onClick="createpage();return false;"> </p> </form> </body> </html> With the intention to eventually implement it into a website that "mashes" several URLs together into a tinyurl that, upon being opened, creates several tabs of the content the creator wanted in the single URL. Does that make sense? In order to best do this I figured a page with a random character string (I haven't yet implemented this part, for now 'random' holds the place of the new page/link) would have to be created that would launch all the tabs and then close itself. Here's what it should do... 1) User enter 3 URLs into three forms: First Link: <input type="text" id="first" name="first"/> Second Link: <input type="text" id="second" name="second"/> Third Link: <input type="text" id="third" name="third"/> 2) User clicks Submit button that calls "createpage()" function that's declared in the <head>er. The first part of this function declares the links that were inputted as variables first, second, and, third. <script type="text/javascript"> function createpage(){ var first = document.getElementById('first').value var second = document.getElementById('second').value var third = document.getElementById('third').value 3) "createpage()" function then declares a new window named 'random' to variable j (I have random.html stored in the same folder as this project. It is empty.) var j = window.open('random') 4) Next "createpage()" creates a variable that stores a full page's html code that includes a script that launches each link individually with window.open(). var new_page = '<html><head><script type="text/javascript">function open_win() { window.open(first) window.open(second) window.open(third) } </script></head><body onLoad = "open_win()"></body></html>'; 5) "createpage()" writes the code (stored in variable 'new_page') to document 'random' with j.document.write(new_page); 6) "createpage()" closes the document. I'm working on a website that will basically embed a widget/frame sent by a handler into a user's current page. The user basically adds a script tag to where they would like the HTML to be. The script tag has their settings and is basically a document.write that calls all the code that we want displayed. So here's my problem. We have a map that we need to add in a specific section, and to get the map we have to call another script tag. So we end up having a script tag (map) embedded in another script tag (the code for the widget/frame) or we end up having to document.write inside a document.write. Now this works just fine and as expected in Firefox, Safari, and Chrome. However, Internet Explorer and Opera wait until the first document.write is completely finished before calling the embedded one. Of course the problem with this, is that it takes the map out of the document's flow and just appends it to the bottom left of the page. Since the rest of the page has already been called, there's no way to move the interior "map" script. Any ideas? Basically just trying to figure out how (if even possible) to render an embedded script tag in Internet Explorer and be able to place it properly. I've tried everything that I can think of, including AJAX and Google's unescape script. Any suggestions, I'd greatly appreciate it. Or even if you've encountered a similar problem, and know that it just isn't possible in IE or Opera, that would be fine too. Thanks in advance! My code is here and it works ... However, I would like my dynamic table to show on the same page as my body and not on a new blank page. I have created a DIV and try playing around with the document.getElementById('monTab').innerHTML but it's not working out for me ... What am i missing ?

However, as i have already written document.write it actually displays the text "document.write(a);" instead of the value for var a. Help asap please as it in for school soon! Thanks in advanced :D Hello, I'm new to Javascript. I know how to make a script that when you click on a button it changes a variable. I also know that with document.write I can express this variable but I do not know how to refresh document.write! For example, if I have a var car =3 and when I click on a button car++ (or increases by 1 so it becomes 4 then 5 and so forth depending how many times you click the button) and I write document.write (car), it only shows the 3 and no matter how many times I click on the button, the 3 doesn't change. How can I get the document.write to show the updated variable? Thanks! So I want to have a button that when I click it will change this variable and that number will change live on the page. What is an alternative to document.write? I know I could use <p> in html </p> I would like to use JS though. I hope you can understand my question. I am 14yo and this is not for homework. I just wanna try and learn JS. I read document.write can cause me problems. But all I ever see is: <script type="text/javascript"> document.write("any words"); </script> what alternate could I use? What other methods can I use to insert code into my HTML pages from an external file, that will be able to be picked up by search engines and will show entirely if you do a "View Source" on my page? I've been using document.write functions in my personal home page for doing things like maintaining nav. bars, footers, etc. However, the HTML that's written using document.write is not picked up by search engines being that its browser-side instead of server-side and if you view the source of the page, all it shows is the call to my JS function that does the document.writes. Hello, I have the following code, which I plan on using the datepicker with, however the code currently hangs up on the script references, as to my knowlege it looks ok, and I can't seem to find anything wrong with it: Code: <html> <head> <script> function open_cal() { var str_html = "" + "<!DOCTYPE html>" + "<html lang='en'>" + "<head>" + "<meta charset='utf-8'>" + "<title>CALENDAR</title>" + "<link href=jq/jquery-ui.css rel=stylesheet type=text/css/>" + "<script src=jq/jquery.min.js type=text/javascript></script>" + "<script src=jq/jquery-ui.min.js type=text/javascript></script>" + "</head>" + "<body>" + "<p>Hello test</p>" + "</body>" + "</html>" var j = window.open("","CALENDAR","width=200,height=250,status=no,resizable=yes,top=200,left=200") j.document.write(str_html); j.document.close(); } </script> </head> <body> <input onclick="open_cal()" type="button" value="Open" name="B1"> </body> </html> I need your help. Any ideas? Thanks very much in advance, J Hi all, I'm working on an internal site for my company and I have a snippet of code that works 100% fine indepentantly but when I try to use it inside a document.write I can't get it to work. I'm pretty sure it's down to the structure of it but I'm inexperienced with JS so I'm not sure how do correctly structure it. Here is the code I want inside of a document.write(): Code: <a href='javascript: void(0);' style="text-decoration:none; font-size:14px;" onclick=" document.getElementById('my_hidden_div_id_1').innerHTML = '<iframe src=\'{file:link}\' width=\'880\' height=\'500\'></iframe>' $('#my_hidden_div_id_1').koverlay({title: '{file:filename}'}); $('.css_koverlay').css({'background-color':'#9c183a'}); ; "> Pop-Up</a> Could anyone help me correctly insert it inside document.write() so that it outputs without errors? Thanks! document.write("<table><tr><td><a href='#' onMouseOver='MM_swapImage('changeMe','','images/calNum/calNum4g.jpg',1);'><img id='changeMe' name='changeMe' src='images/calNum/calNum1.jpg' border='0'/></a></td></tr></table>"); basically the one thing I am know is a problem or at least where the problem starts is when the ","(comma) is added in the parathesis for the params of MM_swapImage. Whats the correct way to write those commas? my arrays. how do i input them into the loop? firstName = new Array(); lastName = new Array(); street = new Array(); city = new Array(); state= new Array(); zip = new Array(); amount = new Array(); date = new Array() Code: <script type=text/javascript> var values = []; var SIZE = 10; document.write('<table class="mytable" border="1">'); for (var index = 1; index <= SIZE; index++) { document.write('<tr><td>'); values.push(Math.random()); document.write(values[values.length -1]); document.write('</tr></td>'); } document.write('</table>'); var sum = 0.0; for (var index = 0; index < values.length; index++) { sum += values[index]; } document.write('<table class="totaltable" border="1">'); document.write('<tr><td>Total Number of Rows</td></tr><td> Total Sum</td></tr>'); document.write('<tr><td>' + values.length + '</td></tr>' + sum + '</td></tr>'); ('</table>'); </script> This seems like it should be easy but I can't figure it out. I am trying to set up a drop down list to interpret an abbreviation and to also hyper link to a site about the object. I want it to stay in the <textarea> and not write a new document but it is the only way I have been able to get a hyperlink. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hey I'm having a problem with this line: Code: var val1 = document.sform.sel1.value; sform is the name of a form that the data is being put onto. Problem is I want to change that name to verifypage.php When I replace sform with the verifypage.php I believe (I have no clues on JS) that the . if the extension of verifypage.php is screwing the code up. It's a dynamic drop down list that I want to display the results on another page. Thanks! Hello everyone, I'm having trouble getting some spacing in my code. Here's my function below. Code: function buildResume() { resName = document.myResume.name.value resAddress = document.myResume.address.value resPhone = document.myResume.phone.value resEmail = document.myResume.email.value resInfo = document.myResume.info.value flyWindow = window.open() flyWindow.document.write(resName + "<br>" + resAddress + " / " + resPhone + "<br>" + resEmail + "<br>" + "<hr width=36% align=left>") flyWindow.document.write("Personal Information" + resInfo) } The part I'm trying to add spacing between this part. Code: flyWindow.document.write("Personal Information" + resInfo) It comes out as: Personal Information *whatever the value of resInfo is* I would like it so it reads as (underscores being the spaces): Personal Information________*whatever the value of resInfo is* I've tried using   but could not get it to work, maybe I'm using it wrong. If anyone could shed some light on this for me it'd really help. If you need to see some more of my code let me know too. I have a series of videos which must be loaded dynamically on their pages which then get loaded into an iframe. I need to be able to load these videos using variables for the width and height. It's imperative that I use variables as the sizes of the movies will be determined by the user's resolution. Here's the code I'm currently using Code: <script type="text/javascript"> var dimW = screen.width; var dimH = screen.height; var w1 = dimW.toString(); var h1 = dimH.toString(); document.write('<OBJECT ID="Player" width="'+w1+'" height="'+h1+'" CLASSID="CLSID:6BF52A52-394A-11d3-B153-00C04F79FAA6" style=border:0px;">\n'); document.write('<PARAM name="autoStart" value="True">\n'); document.write('<PARAM name="uiMode" value="full">\n'); document.write('<PARAM name="volume" value="50">\n'); document.write('<PARAM name="mute" value="false">\n'); document.write('<PARAM name="URL" value="../../../videos/oracleChangeLocation_1.wmv">\n'); document.write('<embed src="../../../videos/oracleChangeLocation_1.wmv" width="'+w1+'" height="'+h1+'" autoStart="True" uiMode="full" volume="50" mute="false">\n'); document.write('</embed>\n'); document.write('</OBJECT>\n'); </script> I'm developing in xhtml so naturally, IE doesn't recognize the document.write statements and the page comes up blank in IE. It works flawlessly in FireFox (as expected). So, I need to replace the document.write statements with something else while still being able to pass variables for the movie objects height & width. I've tried this code: Code: <script type="text/javascript"> //alert("The beginning"); var dimW = window.innerWidth; var dimH = window.innerHeight; var w1 = dimW.toString(); var h1 = dimH.toString(); var theNewMovie = document.createElement('p'); var theTextOfTheMovie = document.createTextNode('<OBJECT ID="Player" width="'+w1+'" height="'+h1+'" CLASSID="CLSID:6BF52A52-394A-11d3-B153-00C04F79FAA6" style=border:0px;">\n<PARAM name="autoStart" value="True">\n<PARAM name="uiMode" value="full">\n<PARAM name="volume" value="50">\n<PARAM name="mute" value="false">\n<PARAM name="URL" value="../../../videos/oracleWelcome_1.wmv">\n<embed src="../../../videos/oracleWelcome_1.wmv" width="'+w1+'" height="'+h1+'" autoStart="True" uiMode="full" volume="50" mute="false">\n</embed>\n</OBJECT>\n'); theNewMovie.appendChild(theTextOfTheMovie); document.getElementById('mediaPlayer').appendChild(theNewMovie); </script> . I then have a <td> with the id of "mediaPlayer" but nothing is showing up. Most likely because I'm still fairly new to javascript and am probably forgetting or overlooking something. Can anyone give me any ideas, suggestions, or pointers as to what I am doing wrong? Thanks! M document.write("<script type='text/javascript' src='http://www.website.com/javscript.js'></script>"); For some reason this will not output correctly. It ouputs "); Which is the last three characters. Im having an issue placing a document.write output in a specifc place (after my form), i want the document.write output to be produced from an if statement which is based on a variable within a function the document.write output is to be placed outside the script thought :S into another div CODE if (count<5) { document.write('unlucky') } any ideas? I Am trying to use the following script to generate a url dynamically and I can get the link working just fine with plain txt in the anchor area but when I try to add an image - I am running into trouble. Any help would be much appreciated! what is wrong with the following? <script>document.write ("<a href=\"http://contact."+ domain +"/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ShowCoreAskSellerQuestion&requested="+ userid +"&iid="+ itemid +"&frm=284&redirect=0&SSPageName=PageAskSellerQuestion_VI\"><img src=\"http://www.thebluedot.net/images/layout/contact_us.gif\" style=\"border:none;\"></a>");</script> Please help me out. I have been tearing my hair out over this basic script. I am complete newbie to javascript so please be easy on me.
