JavaScript - Document.createelement
Hello 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; } Similar TutorialsSo 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. 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? 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 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? 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'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
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 ?

Thank you very much 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! I'm sorry if this question seem very basic but I just start learning javascript. I would like to display an image but not sure why it is not working.

I have been trying to add some code that would only allow for one div tag to be displayed at a time. Here is where I originally got the code (http://www.willmaster.com/library/hi...-to-reveal.php) Whenever I run this code I get this error: Code: Error: document.getElementById(months[x]) is null Source File: /resources/default.js Line: 30 This is the JavaScript that runs when the user clicks the link: Code: <!-- function accordion(tid) { var x; var months = new Array(); months[0]="January"; months[1]="February"; months[2]="March"; months[3]="April"; months[4]="May"; months[5]="June"; months[6]="July"; months[7]="August"; months[8]="September"; months[9]="October"; months[10]="November"; months[11]="December"; for (x in months) { document.getElementById((months[x])).style.display = "none"; } if(document.getElementById(tid).style.display == "none") { document.getElementById(tid).style.display = ""; } else { document.getElementById(tid).style.display = "none"; }} //--> Here is where the javascript is activated from PHP Code: <a href=javascript:accordion('$month2');>$month2</a><br /> <div id='$month2' style='display: none';> Hello $month2 </div> I have a html file and a separate javascript file. The html file contains: <input type="reset" id = "resetButton" /> I want a message to pop up if the reset button is pressed. So in the js file I have: document.getElementById("resetButton").onclick = doAlert; doAlert is a function that simply does: alert("Do you want to reset?"); I know my separate js file is linked correctly because if I just put in alert("hello"); in the js file then it works. But if I use the document.getElementById thing in the js file, then there is an error. The error, according to the error console, says that "resetButton" is null. Can someone help me? thanks! btw, I'm totally new to programming...and I need to do this for my homework assignment Hi, I am trying to create a xml document and load it into a 3rd party function as follows: Quote: var doc = new ActiveXObject('Microsoft.XMLDOM'); // OR var doc = document.implementation.createDocument('', 'xml', null); o.overlayKML('somefile.xml'); // Works perfectly o.overlayKML(doc); // Doesn't work at all, return unsupport error I get to know that the overlayKML (3rd party function) needs to read a physical file with a path and sadly it doesn't support DOM. How can I create a javascript document that mimic a physical file and introduce it into the function? Thanks! Code: document.getElemetById... is that it, or could be somehow done: Code: anyElement.getElemetById... ? Tryed and it did not work. Dear Great Coders, I am having some trouble to get the id of the parent of a document which is iframe1 here. As you can see it the <javascript> is residing in the javascript section. Do mind giving me some ideas? Yes, I know. I can insert the javascript on the top, but believe me i cant for some purpose because I am intergrating many other codes into it. <html> <iframe id="iframe1"> <html> <head> <javascript> </head> <body> </body> </html> </iframe> </html> Hi, I need to open a PDF file via a web page. Basically, I want to have a textbox where I type in a filename and then click submit and it will open that document. For example, I need to open a PDF document... I need to have a text box where I can input "test1" for example, click "GO" and it will add the "C:/test/" + textbox value + ".pdf" and open it in the browser. I could do it in PHP but this is going to run on a local machine with no serverside so I assume JS will be the way forward. Any ideas? Many Thanks MJFCAD |
