JavaScript - Getattribute("class")
Hi, I'm having some trouble with XBrowser compatibility. I was just wondering if there is an alternative to getAttribute("class") that works in IE8 and its proceeding versions.
The code below checks to see if the current tab/div has the hideDiv class, if it doesn't then it finds the position and dimensions of this and adds them to variables. Pre IE9 sets all the values as it should on the first pass but then when it goes through a second and third time to check the other tabs the values are set to zero as the divs have the display:none property in the CSS. Code: if(tabs[l].getAttribute("class") != "hideDiv"){ findPos(tabs[l]); tabWidth = tabs[l].offsetWidth; tabHeight = tabs[l].offsetHeight; } If you would like to see the full code my development area is dev.creativepanda.co.uk - the function called to start it all off is tabChange code for this is at dev.creativepanda.co.uk/js/tabber.js Thanks for any help that you can give. Similar TutorialsHey guys, This is my first time ever posting in a programming forum so please be nice! :) I'll admit right away that this is for a homework assignment, but I really did try to solve it myself before I decided to post here. The instructions are to have a confirm box pop up when links with the HTML class value "external" are clicked. If the user clicks "OK" they should be directed to the linked page. If they click "Cancel" they should not be directed anywhere. Here's my code: Code: function checkClass() { var links = document.getElementsByTagName("a"); for ( var i = 0 ; i < links.length ; i++ ) { var link = links[i]; if (link.className == "external") { link.onclick = clickHandler(); } } } window.onload = checkClass; function clickHandler() { if (confirm("You clicked an external link. Do you really want to leave this site?")) { return true; } return false; } The problem is that the confirm box is triggered on page load and not on link click. I know I wrote Code: window.onload = checkClass; but how else should I call the function? I thought Code: if (link.className == "external") would keep it from going as far as to the confirm box until an external link was clicked. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction, Johanna hi all, im on a really tight deadline with this and have been strugglign all day. (i know nothing about JS!) here's my code: Code: <script language="Javascript"> var allHTMLTags = new Array(); function fadeIn(SRC) { var allHTMLTags=document.getElementsByTagName("*"); for (i=0; i<allHTMLTags.length; i++) { if (allHTMLTags[i].className.indexOf(",") !== -1) { allHTMLTags[i].style.opacity='1'; } } } function fadeOut(SRC) { var allHTMLTags=document.getElementsByTagName("*"); for (i=0; i<allHTMLTags.length; i++) { if (allHTMLTags[i].className.indexOf(",") !== -1) { allHTMLTags[i].style.opacity='0.5'; } } } </script> <li onMouseover="fadeIn(foo)" onmouseout="fadeOut(foo)"> <div class="foo" style="opacity: 0.5;"> test 1 </div> <div class="foo bar" style="opacity: 0.5;"> test 2 </div> The idea of the above, is that when you hover over the <li> all of the divs with a class CONTAINING "foo" are given an opacity of 1. the problem is, the above script only seems to work with numbers?! E.G - class="1 2" works fine. problem is i need to use words not numbers for the classes. clearly my code is rubbish, i've bodged it together from bits and pieces of different forums. PLEASE can somebody help? the end result needs to go through and find all divs with a class CONTAINING the term specified in the <li> then give them an opacity of 1, then on mouseOut return the opacity to 0.5 im sure this is newb stuff, but thanks in advance for any help you can give! Hi all, I've messing around with CSS and I would like to change the <body> 'class' when the user selects a hyperlink. To do this I've employed the OnClick method within the hyperlink which calls the function updateBodyClass(). Within upDateBodyClass() I would like to add the string "extraMenu" to the body class. Before selecting the hyperlink the body is: <body id="twoColLayout" class="tools"> I want this to change to: <body id="twoColLayout" class="tools extraMenu"> This is the code I currently have but it doesn't work. Please can someone point me in the right direction. Thankyou in advance for your time. <html> <head> <title>test</title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Script-Type" content="text/javascript"> <script> function updateBodyClass() { document.getElementById("body").className="tools"; document.getElementById("body").className+=" extraMenu" return; } </script> </head> <body id="twoColLayout" class="tools"> <a href="index.php" onClick="updateBodyClass()">Search Bookmarks</a> </body> </html> I am trying to manipulate a an image gallery that functions well. Now, I have the ability to pull information from a user's preference pannel and need to place it in the an href="" // And other information in each of the "src" | "url" | "alt". Any ideas would be truly helpful. This is what I am working with at the moment and it doesn't work (obviously because it is adding code inside a span). Here is what I am starting from: [CODE] var title01Span = document.getElementById('title01Span'), //Finds the id that I want prefs = new gadgets.Prefs(), // Pulls from the user's preferences yourtitle01 = prefs.getString("title01"); // Pulls the correct string from those preferences title01Span.innerHTML = yourtitle01; // replaces the span.id with that text but I need to be able to do this in the src / href / url / etc. [CODE] Thank you so much!

ANY help is GREATLY appreciated! Hello, recently I have been to many government websites where I have noticed that the programmer has used window.open() method in JavaScript to link to different pages instead of using <a> tags! I was just getting curious to know whether it is normal or has it been used due to security concerns(if any, I don't know)? Any comments? Hello, I run a online gaming website, and I'm having problems with certain websites iframing our games. Actually I'm ok with iframing, as long as they include the banner ad located just beneath our games. But often times unscrupulous webmasters will iframe only the game, preventing us from generating any revenue from the banner ad (and costing us additional bandwidth charges). I'm hoping to find a way to detect the dimensions of the iframe, so that I may dynamically resize the game, in order to include the banner ad within the iframe. Does anybody know how to extract the "height" and "width" attribute values from an <iframe> tag sitting on a different site? Regards, Steve I need to do an input text validation which include opening parenthesis and closing parenthesis, what I need to validate is the opening parenthesis match with closing parenthesis. Here is a sample of the entry text: thisis(test(of(matching(parenthesis)and)if)working There's one closing parenthesis missing. I would like to warn the user to correct it before submit, but not quite sure how to do it with javascript. Please advice. Thanks JT Hi guys, I have a JS calculator on my website which is basically a load of radio buttons that the user clicks and as they do so a price is calculated in their view. At the moment - the price box starts with a blank box but is essentially "0". Then, as the user select an option, the price appears and then starts to calculate when more than 1 is pressed. All I want to do is have the price start at "300" instead of a blank box or "0". Then the rest of the options calculate onto that. I have tried a variety of ways to achieve it and seem to be missing something! I am pretty new to JS although do have a basic understanding ..... clearly not enough to do this thou! lol Basically imagine 300 is the initial price. That only gets charged once ... Here's my code ....

Thinking that functions are first class objects, and objects have properties, I made the name of each logged function a property of that function, e.g., brightenInnerPara.name = "brightenInnerPara"; Every browser I tried (Firefox, MSIE, Opera, Chrome, Safari) accepted the assignment, no problem. In Firefox and MSIE, the result was what I wanted: brightenInnerPara.name == "brightenInnerPara" But in the others, the result was: brightenInnerPara.name == null Question 1. Which Javascript is correct here? I favor Firefox and MSIE, not merely because they were willing to give me what I wanted, but also because it makes no sense to accept an assignment statement without throwing an error and then give it a null semantics, like Chrome, Opera, and Safari did. I found a workaround, using assignments like this: brightenInnerPara.prototype.name = "brightenInnerPara"; To my surprise, that worked in every browser. But I don't know why. It seems that such assignments are enough to cause each function to have its own distinct prototype. Question 2.

At the moment all I managed to find out is that it will run the Program specified by the ProgID: Quote: This code starts the application creating the object (in this case, a Microsoft Excel worksheet). Once an object is created, you refer to it in code using the object variable you defined. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/6958xykx.aspx Does it load the program like normal or does it load it within IE's memory? For example if the program crashes then why does IE crash. I would ask more questions but really I am sure there is more to it than simply loading the program. Thanks for any help in helping me get a better understanding. I need to change input type="text" to input type="password" via JavaScript Code: <form id="login" action="#" method="post"> <input id="username-field" type="text" name="username" title="Username" onmousedown="javascript:this.value=''; javascript:this.focus();" value="Username" tabindex="1" /> <input id="password-field" type="text" name="password" title="Password" onmousedown="javascript:this.value=''; javascript:this.type='password'; javascript:this.focus();" value="Password" tabindex="2" /> <input type="submit" name="submit" value="sign in" tabindex="3" /> </form> This works in Firefox and Safari but not IE So then I tried this code Code: <script type="text/javascript"> function passit(ip){ var np=ip.cloneNode(true); np.type='password'; if(np.value!=ip.value) np.value=ip.value; ip.parentNode.replaceChild(np,ip); } </script> <form id="login" action="#" method="post"> <input id="username-field" type="text" name="username" title="Username" onmousedown="javascript:this.value=''; javascript:this.focus();" value="Username" tabindex="1" /> <input id="password-field" type="text" name="password" title="Password" onmousedown="javascript:this.value=''; passit(this.form[0]); javascript:this.focus();" value="Password" tabindex="2" /> <input type="submit" name="submit" value="sign in" tabindex="3" /> </form> This does what I need but turns the username type to password field not the password box Please can somone help! I have a client that loves the ajax/lightbox concept. Wants to use it on practically everything. I have several forms with many fields that I'm trying to make easier to submit with JQuery post. If you aren't familiar, JQuery post looks like this- Code: $.post(url, {"key" : "value", "key2" : "value2"}, function(){}); And what I'm trying to do is loop through all of the inputs and build a string that I can submit easily like this. But I don't know how to take a string and turn it into this syntax. I don't really even understand this syntax since I only see it in objects and I've written objects a more old fashioned way I guess you can say. My code looks like this- Code: window.QuickSubmit = function(formId, finish) { frm = document.getElementById(formId); loc = frm.getAttribute("action"); eles = frm.elements; str = ""; for(i = 0; i < eles.length; i++) { fld = eles[i]; tag = fld.tagName; key = fld.getAttribute("name"); if(key == null) continue; if(tag == "SELECT") { value = fld.options[fld.selectedIndex].value; if(value == null) value = fld.options[fld.selectedIndex].text; } else { value = fld.getAttribute("value"); } str += key + ":" + value + ","; } str = str.substr(0, str.length-1); var d; $.post(loc, eval("{" + str + "}"), d=finish); return d; } I've tried different methods. My most resent was to use eval but I get an error when doing that- Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token : |
