when I run this code it initially cant find the source "src="colour[var x]" " but once I have used colourChange it works fine, I just need to fix this one issue. any help would be much appreciated.
much thanks
src=[var x]
Javascript variables are not available in html elements attributes src="colour[var x]". So you have to initialize src with valid path value, or you can initialize it in js
...
var colour = ["red.gif", "amber1.gif", "green.gif", "amber1.gif"];
document.getElementById("light").src = colour[0];
function colourChange(){
...
Like this

The line "document.getElementById(submit).onclick(clicked());" throws an error
"ReferenceError: submit is not defined"
When I tried accessing buttons in general
[through getElementsByClassName & getElementsByTagName]
it gave an error of "ReferenceError: button is not defined"
Using strings in getElementById it throws the error "getElementById is null"
I found several questions and answers to this.
Only one of them I understood how to implement, due to the use of PHP and that being the error on most others. Other solutions I found involved errors numerically.
On this error I tried a fix of printwindow.document.getElementById(..etc
This gives me an error of "ReferenceError: printwindow is not defined"
Browsers run JavaScript as soon as possible in order to speed up rendering. So when you receive this code:
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
var image = document.getElementById(image); // Missing quotes, typo?
... in runs intermediately. There's no <foo id="image"> on page yet, so you get null. Finally, you get the rest of the page rendered, including:
<img id="image" src="http://i.imgur.com/XAgFPiD.jpg" height="20%" width="50%"/>
It's too late for your code, which finished running long ago.
You need to bind a window.onload even handler and run your code when the DOM is ready (or move all JavaScript to page bottom, after the picture).
It should be document.getElementById('submit').onclick(clicked());
your must enclose the id you are searching for in quotes:
document.getElementById('ID_to_look_up');
You are executing javascript before your 'body' rendered. Thus document.getElementById("submit") would return null. Because there are no "submit" DOM element yet.
One solution is to move your javascripts under 'body', Or use JQuery with
$(document).ready(function() {
...
});
Your variable also has scope problem, your function cannot access variable declared outside this function with 'var' declaration. If you really need that variable, you should remove 'var' declaration.
A better way is to move all your variable inside clicked function. like following code
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<div><h2>Project |</h2><h2> | herbykit</h2></div>
<div>
<button id="submit">Next</button><br/>
<img id="image" src="http://i.imgur.com/XAgFPiD.jpg" height="20%" width="50%"/>
<p id="desc">first desc.</p>
</div>
</body>
<script type="text/javascript">
function clicked(){
var image = document.getElementById("image");
var desc = document.getElementById("desc");
var images = ["http://i.imgur.com/XAgFPiD.jpg", "http://i.imgur.com/XAgFPiE.jpg"];
var descs = ["1", "2"];
var num = 0;
var total = images.length;
num = num + 1;
if (num > total){
num = 0;
}
image.src = images[num];
desc.innerHTML = images[num];
}
document.getElementById("submit").onclick = clicked;
</script>
</html>
My task for my Javascript class is to create a script for this page that changes the image every 3 seconds. I think my code is correct, however Firebug tells me "document.getElementByID is not a function." Can someone show me what I am doing incorrectly?
This is my JS script.
<script type="text/javascript">
var i = 0
var lightArray = ["pumpkinOff.gif", "pumpkinOn.gif"]
var currentLight = document.getElementByID('light')
// ChangeLight Method Prototype
function changeLight() {
currentLight.src = lightArray[i++];
if (i == lightArray.length) {
i = 0;
}
}
setInterval(changeLight, 3000)
</script>
Here is my edited HTML code:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>JavaScript for Programmers</title>
</head>
<body>
<h2>Happy Halloween!</h2>
<img id="pumpkin" src="pumpkinoff.gif" alt="pumpkin">
<script src="../Script/spooky.js"></script>
</body>
</html>
Incorrect capitalisation on
var currentLight = document.getElementByID('light')
Should be:
var currentLight = document.getElementById('pumpkin')
I have attached a working fiddle:
http://jsfiddle.net/11csf4k2/
It's a typo it should be:
var currentLight = document.getElementById('light'); //Not ID
It should be Id not ID:
document.getElementById('light');
Also note that you don't have element with id light on your page. It probably should be
document.getElementById('pumpkin');
The HTML file has:
<html>
<head>
<title>title</title>
<script style="text/css" src=".\Scripts\CSS\tryc.css"></script>
<script style="text/javascript" src=".\Scripts\JavaScripts\Text8.js"></script>
</head>
<body id="body">
<h1 id="heading1">Coming Soon</h1>
<object id="circle-svg" width="1300" height="560" type="image/svg+xml" data=".\Scripts\svg\ulti.svg"></object>
</body>
</html>
The JavaScript has
window.onload = function () {
var as = document.getElementById("body");
var as1 = as.getElementById("heading1");
as1.style.color = "blue";
alert(as1);
alert("try");
};
The text does not turn blue.
getElementById must always be called from a document object.
var as = document.getElementById("body");
var as1 = as.getElementById("heading1");
var as1 = document.getElementById("heading1");
No nested context is needed, because IDs must be unique within the document.
And FWIW, you can use document.body instead of putting an ID on the body.
Oh, also you should use forward slashes instead of backslashes to get your script.
<script type="text/javascript" src="./Scripts/JavaScripts/Text8.js"></script>
I dont think you can use
as.getElementById();
Why dont you go directly with:
as = document.getElementById('heading1');
as.style.color = 'blue';
this is shan and i'm a javascript noob and i'm trying to work qa code as an example here. i'm trying to load a small javascript content to a div element but it is not working any help would be great and here is the code.
<html>
<head>
<title>
using d for statement
</title>
<script>
function displaytext () {
var loopindex=0;
var sum=0;
for (var loopindex=1; loopindex <=100; loopindex++) {
sum +=loopindex;
};
document.getElementById('targetdiv').innerhtml="adding 1 to 100 gives "+sum;
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="targetdiv">
</div>
</body>
</html>
You need to call the function. It's also a good idea to wait until the window is loaded (or you can use some more advanced JS to detect the DOM ready state.):
<html>
<head>
<title>
using d for statement
</title>
<script>
function displaytext() {
var loopindex=0;
var sum=0;
for (var loopindex=1; loopindex <=100; loopindex++) {
sum +=loopindex;
};
document.getElementById('targetdiv').innerHTML = "adding 1 to 100 gives "+sum;
}
window.onload = function(){
displaytext();
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="targetdiv">
</div>
</body>
</html>
3 problems:
You never actually call the function. It is only declared.
The property is innerHTML not innerhtml. Javascript is case-sensitive.
The script is above an element is is referencing. As scripts are executed as they are found (page construction is paused during execution) the element you are referring to is never found.
Also you declare the loopindex variable twice, which i think will cause a syntax error on ES5 strict.
<html>
<head>
<title>
using d for statement
</title>
</head>
<body>
<div id="targetdiv">
</div>
</body>
<script>
function displaytext () {
var sum=0;
for (var loopindex=1; loopindex <=100; loopindex++) {
sum +=loopindex;
};
document.getElementById('targetdiv').innerHTML="adding 1 to 100 gives "+sum;
}
displaytext();
</script>

I am kind of stuck in weird problem. i cant find the problem with the following code
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
// Import GET Vars
document.$_GET = [];
var urlHalves = String(document.location).split('?');
if(urlHalves[1]){
var urlVars = urlHalves[1].split('&');
for(var i=0; i<=(urlVars.length); i++){
if(urlVars[i]){
var urlVarPair = urlVars[i].split('=');
document.$_GET[urlVarPair[0]] = urlVarPair[1];
}
}
}
var tag_tag=document.$_GET['tags'];
alert(tag_tag);
document.getElementById("resultElem4").innerHTML=tag_tag;
</script>
</head>
<body>
<p id='resultElem4'></p>
</body>
</html>
its showing the string in alert but not in html when i call it like result.php?tags=cat
Put your script tag at the bottom (right before the closing body tag). The issue is that the element resultElem4 hasn't loaded when you try to reference it using getElementById.
You just move the < script > to the end of the body.
<body><p></p><script>....</script></body>
