JavaScript - Get Element Id Value, If Unknown
Hello. I am setting up a simple registration page for a community arts project, but I am new to JS and having some issues. Right now I have a list of check boxes like this:
Code: <input type="checkbox" id="HA0001" onclick="updateTotal()" /> Wendy Day <input type="checkbox" id="HA0002" onclick="updateTotal()" /> Al Benne <input type="checkbox" id="HA0003" onclick="updateTotal()" /> Julie Steppe What I would like to do is GET the input boxes ID value - which will be different for every checkbox. That value will correspond with a variable of the same name in my javascript code, that will be added or subtracted from the users total cost. So when a box is clicked, I need my variable (called "currentId") to update to the ID value, such as "HA0001" - etc. I was thinking something along the lines of this, but I know it is incorrect: Code: var currentId = document.getElementById.id; All the other add/subtract stuff I will figure out, but I am having a problem getting the ID value from a checkbox when it is clicked. Can anyone help me figure this out?

Hi, I'm relativly new to JS and brand new to the forum so you might need to dumb down your replys for my slightly lacking knowledge. That being said I do have a very solid grasp of html, css and am getting there with JS and its various frameworks. I'm integrating wordpress into an existing site for a friend and currently have the main blog page appear in a DIV. This is the best way to integrate in this case due to many reasons mostly of way the site is constructed. Code: <div class="scroll-pane" id="scrollbox"> WORDPRESS BLOG </div> My issue is that links within that DIV, in the blog, when clicked redirect the page. The simple answer to this would be to have them just open in a new page, which I can easily do with the below code. Code: function Init() { // Grab the appropriate div theDiv = document.getElementById('scrollbox'); // Grab all of the links inside the div links = theDiv.getElementsByTagName('a'); // Loop through those links and attach the target attribute for (var i=0, len=links.length; i < len; i++) { // the _blank will make the link open in new window links[i].setAttribute('target', '_blank'); } } window.onload = Init; But what I'd rather it do is have any link clicked inside the DIV to reload in that same DIV, similar to an iframe, but obviously without using an iframe, due to it's compatibility issues. Is this possible by editing the above code? If not what do I need? Thanks in advance for any help! So... I'm using an AJAX query to replace the innerHTML for an element. On the "front end" of the site, this method works fine in IE7/8... For some reason - in the administrative back end - not so much. I'm not sure why. I get an "Unknown runtime error" in IE7/8 - though works fine in Chrome/FireFox... I'm posting the HTML for the page I'm having problems with and also the HTML that is being returned by the AJAX query. I'm beating my head against a wall here. Any help would be great! :-) I've attached the HTML for the page in question... AJAX query returns: Code: <form name="domains" id="domains"> <table border="1" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="500" id="domain_table"> <tr style="font-weight: bold; font-size: 14px; text-align: center; height: 25px; background: #214232; color: #fff; "><td>Practice Area</td><td>City</td><td>Excellent Keyword Domain Name</td><td>Select</td></tr><tr style="background: #fff;"><td colspan="4"> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#d6e3bc"><td align="left" colspan="4"><b>Bankruptcy</b></td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#d6e3bc"><td> </td><td align="left">Anchorage</td><td align="left">AnchorageBankruptcyAttorney.net</td><td align="center"><input type="checkbox" name="seldomains[]" id="domain_37" value="37-1" /></td></tr> <tr style="background: #fff;"><td colspan="4"> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#d6e3bc"><td align="left" colspan="4"><b>Criminal</b></td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#d6e3bc"><td> </td><td align="left">Anchorage</td><td align="left">AnchorageCriminalAttorney.net</td><td align="center"><input type="checkbox" name="seldomains[]" id="domain_38" value="38-1" /></td></tr> <tr style="background: #fff;"><td colspan="4"> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#d6e3bc"><td align="left" colspan="4"><b>Divorce</b></td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#d6e3bc"><td> </td><td align="left">Anchorage</td><td align="left">AnchorageDivorceAttorney.net</td><td align="center"><input type="checkbox" name="seldomains[]" id="domain_39" value="39-1" /></td></tr> <tr style="background: #fff;"><td colspan="4"> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#d6e3bc"><td align="left" colspan="4"><b>Dui</b></td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#d6e3bc"><td> </td><td align="left">Anchorage</td><td align="left">AnchorageDuiAttorney.net</td><td align="center"><input type="checkbox" name="seldomains[]" id="domain_40" value="40-1" /></td></tr> <tr style="background: #fff;"><td colspan="4"> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#d6e3bc"><td align="left" colspan="4"><b>Personal Injury</b></td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#d6e3bc"><td> </td><td align="left">Anchorage</td><td align="left">AnchoragePersonalInjuryAttorney.net</td><td align="center"><input type="checkbox" name="seldomains[]" id="domain_41" value="41-1" /></td></tr> <tr style="background: #fff;"><td colspan="4"> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#d6e3bc"><td align="left" colspan="4"><b>Trial</b></td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#d6e3bc"><td> </td><td align="left">Anchorage</td><td align="left">AnchorageTrialAttorney.net</td><td align="center"><input type="checkbox" name="seldomains[]" id="domain_42" value="42-1" /></td></tr> <tr style="background: #fff;"><td colspan="4"> </td></tr> </table> <table border='0' width='500'> <tr><td align='right'><input type=button onClick='addToProduct();' value='Update Product' /></td></tr> </table></form> an unknown popup appears every once in a while in my site...i have never been using popups ever..and i use wordpress... the popup appears once in every 3 to 7 days ..and sometimes once a every 20 page loads..(my site has lot of impressions so 20 is a high possibility) and the popup link is http://ads.linkbucks.com/redrockspop-sumo.html further i use statcounter (http://www.statcounter.com/) and whos.amung.us (http://whos.amung.us) as visitor tracing systems but i never heard that they cause popups so i guess nothing wrong with that, i tried to find which is the cause of this but i failed.. I appriciate if you guys can help me with this and my site url is : http://channelslk.com Thanks in Advance ok, so I can make an object, I can also make a new instance of that object and have it running around the screen at the same time. What I'm a bit confused about is how to go about things when I want X number of these objects. So instead of making objects seperately I need a loop. Instead of referring to each object seperately every time I want to redraw it, I want to loop through all instances of the object. Except I can't quite see how one goes about doing this. I need something like (pseudocode) Code: for (i = 0;i <= 10; i++) { var dot + i = new Dot; } and var b = numberOfDots; for (i = 0;i <= b; i++) { dot + i +.moveMe(); drawDot(dot + i + .posY, dot + i +.posX); } obviously this code does not work but it represents the essence of what i'm trying to do and can't get my head around, no matter the google searches I try. Hi, I've written a small script for a website, and strangely enough (or maybe not) it works in Firefox and Chrome but not IE. I'd read about block level inside inline causing this but i'm still not entirely sure. Here is the offending script: Code: function changeImage(image) { if (image == 6) { var vid = document.createElement('object'); vid.width = "700"; vid.height = "370"; vid.id = "photo"; vid.innerHTML = '<param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube-nocookie.com/v/g4cpDgGlFng&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube-nocookie.com/v/g4cpDgGlFng&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="700" height="370"></embed>'; document.getElementById("body").replaceChild(vid, document.getElementById("photo")); } else { var img = document.createElement('img'); var old = document.getElementById("photo") img.width = "700"; img.height = "370"; img.id = "photo"; img.alt = "Photo of Gippsland Lakehous"; img.src = "images/photos/" + image + ".jpg"; document.getElementById("body").replaceChild(img, old); } The offending line is the long innerHTML one. I'm sure this must be a very hacky way of doing things (incidentally the thing is replacing an image with another image or video depending on what is clicked), but I rarely code at all, so don't know any better Thanks! I have the following code Code: <div class="thdnrml"> <td><a href="somelink">fonfof</a></td> </div> what i want to do is this: Code: <div class="thdnrml"> <td><a href="somelink">fonfof</a><a href="anotherlink">another_link</a></td> </div> how can i go about achieving this? Hi, (new to javascript) Code: digAudio = document.createElement("audio"); digAudio.setAttribute('src',hypeDocument.documentName()+'_Resources/'+'digging.m4a'); digAudio.id = "diggingAudio"; newAudio = document.getElementById("diggingAudio"); //returns null the audio element is added (I can play the audio) but I can't get it by its id ? thank you Hi, Would someone here please help me with this script. I know I am a complete hack at this, but I need to get it to work. Your help is appreciated. As you can see, based on the if statement, I need to leave the Div element below hidden, or un-hide it. I know the first part works. The second part (after "else" ) is where I am having the problem. Code: <td> <script type="text/javascript"> if ([fieldXX]==1) { document.write("<a href='page1.asp?itemid=1234'><img src='images/btn-choose.gif' border='0' alt='choose button'</a>"); } else { var id = 'hide-buy-btn'; var item = document.getElementById(id); if (item) { item.className=(item.className=='hidden')?'unhidden':'hidden'; } } </script> <div id="hide-buy-btn" class="hidden"> x xother button code x </div> </td> Hi all Not sure how to tackle this. I haven't done any DOM manipulation and this is a tag within a tag. Another thing is submit is Ajax and therefore can be hit many times --- so I guess I need to also check if element already exists. The result comes back from PHP and I think wipes out anything in the result area. I want to create this: Code: <span id="loading"><img src="loading.gif" /></span> Code: <div id="results">which should populate here</div> <script type="text/javascript"> function loading(){ ? </script> <input type="button" name="submit" id="submit" onclick="loading();"/> How do I begin this? Help appreciated. LT oh this is my Ajax just in case what i'm trying to do should be done from here. Code: <script type="text/javascript"> $(document).ready(function() { $('#submit').click(function(){ //Get the values var amount = $('#amount').val(); var from = $('#from').val(); var to = $('#to').val(); var params = "amount=" + amount + "&from=" + from + "&to=" + to; $.ajax({ type: "POST", url: "change.php", data: params, success: function(data){ $('#results').html(data).fadeIn("slow"); } }); }); }); </script> Alright, I need a little help with my javascript. I'm a bit of a novice when it comes to programming so I apologize if this appears trivial. I have an element ID that begins with bb + a randomized number between 1-100,000. This number changes after every action so what I need is a way to retrieve this new value each time and implement it into my code. I can view the number using firebug but I need a way to automate this process. Do any of you have some advice about how I could approach this problem? So, I have this javascript that works just fine... But... PHP Code: <script language="javascript"> function addBtn() { element = document.createElement("input"); element.setAttribute("type", 'button'); element.setAttribute("value", 'Track'); element.setAttribute("name", 'element'); element.onclick = function() { alert("Tracking"); }; var btn = document.getElementById("gs-track-btn"); btn.appendChild(element); } </script> <div id="gs-track-btn"></div> How would I target that div if the " gs-track-btn " id was a class? I know for sure that lastRowTD_s[i] does not have "textarea" element ! The whole page is html valid. Code: else if (lastRowTD_s[i].getElementsByTagName('textarea')) { alert(lastRowTD_s[i].id); //checked, it is the row that does not have "textarea" element. alert(lastRowTD_s[i].getElementsByTagName('textarea')); // gives me [Object HTML collection] !? alert(lastRowTD_s[i].getElementsByTagName('textarea')[0]); //gives me "undefined", heh where has it gone since previous line ? } Alright, this is going to sound strange, but bear with me here... Code: <input type="text" name="_F0827U" size="015" maxlength="015"> <input type="submit" class="cmdkey" name="_K040827" value="..."> Say I have multiple isntances that look similar to the above. However, I have no possible way of identifying them uniquely (because I don't know the name prior to generation). Is it posable, using JS, to snag the previous element and strip it of it's tags then rewrite a new element isntead of the two originals, say using an onClick() event on either of the elements? Im trying to duplicate an image multiple times here is what I have Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <title></title> <script type="text/javascript"> var totalNumber = 1000; function insert(num) { var cont = document.getElementById("cont"); var img = document.createElement("img"); var percent = num/totalNumber; var result = cont.offsetWidth * percent; var dup = result/100*2; img.src = "guy.jpg"; cont.appendChild(img); } </script> <style type="text/css"> #cont {height:100px; width:500px;} </style> </head> <body> <div id="cont"></div> </body> <script type="text/javascript"> insert(3000); </script> </html> So Im trying to get img to repeat the variable "dup" so you would see <img src="guy.jpg"> 30 times. I'm trying to add an input element to all forms using appendChild. The script first searches for input elements with the name of "myinput". If it finds an input element with that name, it assigns the value "myvalue". If it can't find an input element with that name, it tries to create a new one for all forms. Code: if (document.getElementsByName('myinput')) { var testcode = document.getElementsByName('myinput'); for (var i=0; i < testcode.length; i++){ testcode[i].value = "myvalue";} } else { var z = document.createElement("input"); z.type = "hidden"; z.name = "myinput"; z.value = "myvalue"; z.id = "mycode"; var d = document.getElementsByTagName('form'); for (var i=0; i < d.length; i++){ d.appendChild(z);} } What's wrong with my code? Thanks! greetings everyone! this is my first time trying to join this javascript community. Well then, now I'm telling about my miss-understanding of this keywords of javascript here... here's the html Code: <fieldset > <legend>Attachment</legend> <table id="attachment" style="height: 50px;" width="200" border="0"> <th width="19%">Title</th> <th width="26%">File</th> <th width="41%">Description</th> <th width="6%">Upload</th> <th width="6%">More File</th> <tr> <td><input name="title" type="text" value="- none -" size="33" maxlength="50"></td> <td><input name="filepath" type="file" size="33"></td> <td><input name="description" type="text" value="- none -" size="60" maxlength="200"></td> <td><input name="upload" type="button" value=" Upload " onclick="upload(this)"> </td> <td><div align="center"> <input onclick="addMoreFile()" type="button" value="+"> </div></td> </tr> </table> <!-- end Attachment --> </fieldset> the aim is that the upload button would eventually changed into image and then changed back to a link. That one is already done here's the javascript Code: var attRow; function upload(obj){ // obtain the table pointer var attTable = document.getElementById('attachment'); // post file into the jsp file // changing the image // get parent pointer of this element var par = obj.parentNode; var loImage = document.createElement('img'); loImage.setAttribute('src', 'images/loading1.gif'); par.innerHTML = ''; par.appendChild(loImage); // create the removal link var text = document.createTextNode('remove'); var liRem = document.createElement('a'); liRem.setAttribute('href','javascript:removeFile(this)'); liRem.appendChild(text); par.innerHTML = ''; par.appendChild(liRem); } function removeFile(obj){ // post fileid // change the image } function addMoreFile(){ // create fully file upload row // consist of two text elements, file element, and 1 button. var nFileTitle = document.createElement('input'); nFileTitle.setAttribute('name','title'); nFileTitle.setAttribute('type','text'); nFileTitle.setAttribute('size', '33'); nFileTitle.setAttribute('value','- none -'); nFileTitle.setAttribute('maxlength','50'); var nFilePath = document.createElement('input'); nFilePath.setAttribute('name', 'filepath'); nFilePath.setAttribute('type', 'file'); nFilePath.setAttribute('size', '33'); var nDesc = document.createElement('input'); nDesc.setAttribute('name', 'description'); nDesc.setAttribute('type', 'text'); nDesc.setAttribute('value','- none -'); nDesc.setAttribute('size', '60'); nDesc.setAttribute('maxlength', '200'); var nUpButton = document.createElement('input'); nUpButton.setAttribute('name', 'upload'); nUpButton.setAttribute('type', 'button'); nUpButton.setAttribute('value', ' Upload '); nUpButton.setAttribute('onclick', 'upload(this)'); // empty element var ksg = document.createTextNode(' '); // obtain the table pointer var attTable = document.getElementById('attachment'); attRow = attTable.rows.length; alert(attRow); var nextRow = attTable.insertRow(attRow); var ceL = nextRow.insertCell(0); ceL.appendChild(nFileTitle); ceL = nextRow.insertCell(1); ceL.appendChild(nFilePath); ceL = nextRow.insertCell(2); ceL.appendChild(nDesc); ceL = nextRow.insertCell(3); ceL.appendChild(nUpButton); ceL = nextRow.insertCell(4); ceL.appendChild(ksg); } the problem arise when I try to use the removeFile() function using this keywords. into these; Code: function removeFile(obj){ // post fileid // change the image back // get parent pointer of this element var par = obj.parentNode; var loImage = document.createElement('img'); loImage.setAttribute('src', 'images/loading1.gif'); } I try to apply the same approach as the upload() function. But instead the this object which is pointing at the parent node seems unreliable. Is there any missing point i haven't observed? Hello I am fairly new to Javascript and found this code online but can't seem to get it to work right. here is the code I am using it is suppose to apply a style attribute the the id "toplink" but I can't seem to get it to work right. Code: $(document).ready(function(){ menuYloc = parseInt($(name).css("top").substring(0,$(name).css("top").indexOf("px"))) $(window).scroll(function () { var offset = menuYloc+$(document).scrollTop()+"px"; $("#toplink").animate({top:offset},{duration:500,queue:false}); }); }); Thanks in advance I am using a jQuery slider for a website but the W3C comes up with invalid because: document type does not allow element "div" here .before('<div id="buttons">') Code: <script type="text/javascript"> $(document).ready(function() { $('#slider') .before('<div id="buttons"></div>') .cycle({ fx: 'fade', // choose your transition type, ex: fade, scrollUp, shuffle, etc... pager: '#buttons' }); }); </script> Any help with this would be appreciated thanks. hi All, I want to add UL item to Li in java script dynamically .so that i can build submenu dynamically.can any one help me. |
