JavaScript - Problem With Document.createelement
Hi all,
I am attempting to create an element (to be added later to the document DOM) using createElement. My test case is just: document.createElement("<p>Hello World</p>"); My error console shows the following error: Error: uncaught exception: [Exception... "String contains an invalid character" code: "5" nsresult: "0x80530005 (NS_ERROR_DOM_INVALID_CHARACTER_ERR)" location: "http://192.168.1.10/projects/test/public_html/js/test.js Line: 10"] Any ideas? Similar TutorialsHello everyone. I'm having a little problem with creating a element in internet explorer. The element that I'm creating is a div with a few style attributes to to it. The div is suppose to cover the whole page almost like a black transparent window on the page. However it is not. The messed up part about this is that it works fine in Firefox, google chrome and I'm sure other browsers (though haven't tested) and when I go to apply the div in my actual code as javascript is suppose to when you tell it create it, it works fine. No problems whatsoever... I'm not to sure what I'm doing wrong here and it would be great if I could get some help with this. Thanks Code: function showPhotoUpload() { var overlay = document.createElement("div"); overlay.setAttribute("style","z-index:3; background:#111111; width:100%; height:100%; position:absolute; top:0; opacity:0.5; filter:alpha(opacity:50);"); document.body.appendChild(overlay).lastChild; } So i 've reviewed my work and can't see what i've done wrong. here is the html <code><html> <head> <title>Javascript Practic</title> <script type="text/javascript" src="Practice.js"> </script> </head> <body> write something here <div id="here"> blue here</div> </body> </html></code> and here is the javascript: <code> window.onload = tryInnerHTML; function tryAlert(){ alert("just trying it out"); } function tryInnerHTML(){ var p = document.createElement('p'); here = document.getElementById("here"); here.style.color = "blue"; p.innerHTML("<b>This is Dynamic</b>"); here.appendChild(p); } </code> firebug is saying the error is p.createElement('p'); but for the life of me I can't guess why any help would be very appreciative. Hello, I'm trying to create a new link element using JS but using the following code: Code: writeCredits : function () { if (this.credits) return; this.credits = hs.createElement('a', { href: hs.creditsHref, target: hs.creditsTarget, className: 'highslide-credits', innerHTML: hs.lang.creditsText, title: hs.lang.creditsTitle }); this.createOverlay({ overlayId: this.credits, position: this.creditsPosition || 'top left', hsId: 'credits' }); }, It has the target but can I add anything to the createElement to make it open in a new window? Thanks for the help. This opens up in my current Hi all, A few quick questions: Is there a difference between these two lines of code: var e = document.createElement('img'); -and- var e = new Image(); Both seem do do the same thing and act the same way... which makes me wonder why the second one even exists. There isn't a corresponding "new Div();" function, for example.... Second question: If I create an element to use temporarily and do not ever insert it into the DOM, do I need to delete or destroy it afterwards? Will it use memory (a memory leak) if I don't get rid of it after using? Thanks! -- Roger I have a problem that I have been told to fix. The code that is there work perfectly in Firefox, but throws errors in IE and will not work. Code: var newtbody = document.createElement("tbody"); newtbody.id = "ROW"+newkey; document.getElementById(trElement).parentNode.insertBefore(newtbody,document.getElementById(trElement)); newtbody.innerHTML = gcp; gcp has the HTML for inside the tbody tag. The error I get in IE is the "Unknown runtime error". I have tried some of the "solutions" that I have seen online but none have worked. Can anyone help? I'm trying to check to see if a dynamically created element exists BEFORE creating another element of the same exact type...but my if statement at the beginning is not working and another element is just created. Code: function writeElement(id) { if(document.getElementsByTagName('transElement')[0]) { var id = id; killElement(); writeElement(id); } var id = id; var transElement = document.createElement('transElement'); var solidElement = document.createElement('solidElement'); var closeElement = document.createElement('closeElement'); //transElement.id = "transElement"; transElement.setAttribute('id', 'transElement'); solidElement.setAttribute('id', 'solidElement'); closeElement.setAttribute('id', 'closeElement'); closeElement.setAttribute('onClick', 'killElement()'); closeElement.innerHTML = "Close"; var content = "inject_poem.php?id=" + id; getdata(content, 'solidElement'); document.body.appendChild(transElement); document.body.appendChild(solidElement); document.body.appendChild(closeElement); } Does anyone know what is incorrect about my if statement? Please delete, someone had a retard moment

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! 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! This is an example piece of code which I wish to add to an onkeydown event: Code: function keyListen(param1,param2,e) { // keycode for ie if(window.event) { e = window.event; var keycode = e.keyCode; } // keycode for firefox, safari and opera else { var keycode = e.which; } // if right arrow key was pressed execute a function if(keycode == '39') { someFunction(param1,param2); } } Then somewhere else in my code I dynamically add the function to an onkeydown event like so: Code: document.onkeydown = function() { keyListen(param1,param2,event) }; This works great in Internet Explorer, Opera, Safari and Google Chrome but not Firefox. Firefox keeps reporting that event is not defined, is there a way around this problem? I have also tried this: Code: document.onkeydown = function() { keyListen(param1,param2) }; I excluded the event, but still the same outcome, works well in all browsers apart from Firefox. Please help me, thankyou. Hello, I have a problem with the following code! I want to use it so that customers check a checkbox under each photo they want, in a photo gallery, and when they finish, they can click and the photos they checked appear using document.write in a new page! The problem I have is that when the script finds the first image, it uses document.write, shows only the first image it finds and then ends the foor loop! How can I code it so that it finds all the photos first and then shows them in the new page! Here is the sample code, sorry for my bad English and thanks for your time! -------------------------------------------------------------------------- <script type="text/javascript"> function findphotos(test){ for (i=0; i<document.test.checkgroup.length; i++){ if (document.test.checkgroup[i].checked==true){ document.write('<img src="'+i+'.jpg">'); } } } </script> <form name="test"> <input type="checkbox" name="checkgroup" /> <input type="checkbox" name="checkgroup" /> <input type="checkbox" name="checkgroup" /> </form> <h1 onclick="javascript:findphotos(test)">Find</h1> I wanted to resize the modal dialog based on the content of the modal dialog for that i used the following lines of code, window.dialogWidth = document.body.scrollWidth+ "px"; window.dialogHeight = document.body.scrollHeight+ "px"; The 'document.body.scrollHeight' is not giving the exact height of the modal dialog bcos the button on the modal dialog are not completely visible to click for the user. Please can any one tell how to get the exact height of the modal dialog to resize it? Hi..
