I'm developing an HTML page with JQuery script within it and this page has a form that submits to a PHP page.
I was asked to add a JavaScript code to enable\disable textboxes based on a drop down list options, so after I've added that, the page is not redirecting anymore and it is telling me when submitting to the php page that the HTML is malformed.
This is the encoding I have
<html class="no-js" lang="en">
<head>
<meta content="text/html; charset=utf-8" http-equiv="Content-Type" />
The character encoding of the HTML document was not declared. The
document will render with garbled text in some browser configurations
if the document contains characters from outside the US-ASCII range.
The character encoding of the page must be declared in the document or
in the transfer protocol.
My question is what is the best place to plug the JS script? does it have to be inside
$(document).ready(function(){
or I can add it anywhere I want in the document which causing the HTML to not be interpreted correctly by the server.
This is how I would do it, with script tags just before closing body tags. You can put it inside the head and other places but must be enclosed in <script> tags.
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<select id="mySelect">
<option value="1">1</option>
<option value="2">2</option>
</select>
<script src="libs/jquery/jquery.10.2.min.js"></script>
<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#mySelect').on('change', function() {
// do something
});
});
</script>
</body>
</html>
Example from comment above:
<head>
.....
</head>
<body>
<!-- html code here -->
<script src="jquery.js"></script>
<script>
$(document).ready( function() {
// code to disable drop downs here
});
</script>
</body>
Put your JS in a <script> tag at the bottom of the <body> like:
<html>
<head>
<meta content="text/html; charset=utf-8" http-equiv="Content-Type" />
</head>
<body>
Lorem ipsum, blah foo bar.
<script>
// same as $(document).ready(function(){
$(function() {
// put your enable/disable dropdowns jQuery code here
});
</script>
</body>
</html>
If your JS script doesn't need jQuery, (uses queries ex: $('.dropdown a')) then you can exclude the $(function() { wrap

How do you properly link a JavaScript file to a HTML document?
Secondly, how do you use jQuery within a JavaScript file?
First you need to download JQuery library from http://jquery.com/ then
load the jquery library the following way within your html head tags
then you can test whether the jquery is working by coding your jquery code after the jquery loading script
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<!--LINK JQUERY-->
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery-3.3.1.js"></script>
<!--PERSONAL SCRIPT JavaScript-->
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function(){
alert("My First Jquery Test");
});
</script>
</head>
<body><!-- Your web--></body>
</html>
If you want to use your jquery scripts file seperately you must define the external .js file this way after the jquery library loading.
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery-3.3.1.js"></script>
<script src="js/YourExternalJQueryScripts.js"></script>
Test in real time
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<!--LINK JQUERY-->
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery-3.3.1.js"></script>
<!--PERSONAL SCRIPT JavaScript-->
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function(){
alert("My First Jquery Test");
});
</script>
</head>
<body><!-- Your web--></body>
</html>
This is how you link a JS file in HTML
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script> - tag is used to define a client-side script, such as a JavaScript.
type - specify the type of the script
src - script file name and path
To include an external Javascript file you use the <script> tag. The src attribute points to the location of your Javascript file within your web project.
<script src="some.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
JQuery is simply a Javascript file, so if you download a copy of the file you can include it within your page using a script tag. You can also include Jquery from a content distribution network such as the one hosted by Google.
<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.8.3/jquery.min.js"></script>
You can add script tags in your HTML document, ideally inside the which points to your javascript files. Order of the script tags are important. Load the jQuery before your script files if you want to use jQuery from your script.
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="relative/path/to/your/javascript.js"></script>
Then in your javascript file you can refer to jQuery either using $ sign or jQuery.
Example:
jQuery.each(arr, function(i) { console.log(i); });
Below you have some VALID html5 example document. The type attribute in script tag is not mandatory in HTML5.
You use jquery by $ charater. Put libraries (like jquery) in <head> tag - but your script put allways at the bottom of document (<body> tag) - due this you will be sure that all libraries and html document will be loaded when your script execution starts. You can also use src attribute in bottom script tag to include you script file instead of putting direct js code like above.
<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>Example</title>
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.1.0/jquery.min.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<div>Im the content</div>
<script>
alert( $('div').text() ); // show message with div content
</script>
</body>
</html>
this is demo code but it will help

I have added jQuery Library 2.1 as javascriptResource in the project. As shown in the picture.
In the index.html, the autocomplete for ready works but, ready function is not called.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>Insert title here</title>
<script type="text/javascript" src="main.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
alert("Hello");
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
What could I be missing?
Having it available under JavaScript Resources makes it known to the tools, and available for Content Assist at edit-time. It doesn't change the behavior at runtime in the browser--something still has to reference the jQuery file from your web page, like a script tag.
Try to include the jquery script. Example:
<head>
<script src="jquery-1.11.2.min.js"></script>
</head>

Hope it helps.

The script you've written isn't supposed to go inside the jquery script tag. It needs to go in its own one.
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery-1.4.2.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
alert("jQuery tutorial for beginners Example");
});
</script>
The first one is to load jquery itself - it's like saying "instead of me writing some javascript here, load it from this file instead", the second one is for your own code since you've put code between the script tags.
A script element can have one script. That script can go between the start tag and the end tag or it can go in another file and be referenced with a src attribute.
If there is a src attribute, then the content of the element will be ignored.
If you want two scripts, then you need two script elements.
<script src="jquery.js"></script>
<script>
// Your code
</script>
Example: Jsdiffle
This is a example with last library of Jquery.

I am trying to learn how to debug jquery. I tried to make a page which will dynamically add input feilds. The data is sent to the jquery. Now for debugging, I tried to console.log the whole array, but I am getting this error in Firefox:
[17:40:27.073] The character encoding of the HTML document was not
declared. The document will render with garbled text in some browser
configurations if the document contains characters from outside the
US-ASCII range. The character encoding of the page must be declared in

Please explain what this means of if there is some mistake in my code. Heres my code
HTML:
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<title>TakeMeHome</title>
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.8.3/jquery.min.js"></script>

</head>
<body>
<center><form id="details">
Your Place:<input id="source" type="text"><br><br>
Friend1:<input id="friend1" type="text"><br><br>
<div id="friends"></div>
<div id="button">Add!</div><br><br>
<input type="submit" value="go">
</form>
</body>
</html>
jQuery:
var j=2;
var friends = [];
$(document).ready(function(){
$('#button').click(function(){
if(j<11){
$('#friends').append('Friend'+j+':<input type="text" id="friend'+j+'"/><br/><br/>');
j++;
}
else
{
alert("Limit reached");
}
});
});
$("form").submit(function(){
friends[0] = ('#source').val();
for(var i=1;i<j;i++)
{
friends[i] = ('#friends'+i+'').val();
}
console.log(friends);
});
your code is working perfectly you can see it from this
console.log is good for debuging but i prefer you to use firebug for debuging.
Using firebug you can debug each and every line and you can also view the values of each variable.
I am using firebug with firefox.
You can download firebug for firefox from that link .I hope that it helps you.
The error has nothing to do with JavaSCript.
If you add a meta tag like <meta charset="UTF-8" /> it should be fixed.
I also see the you have a type in doctype declaration.
This is not an error in your Javascript code, but a general warning issued by Firefox regarding the validity of the actual HTML markup.
The document's encoding should be declared with a meta tag in inside the header tag. For example, if your encoding is UTF-8 it would be:
<head>
...
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
...
</head>
Since your doctype is HTML5, you can also use the charset attribute:
<head>
...
<meta charset="UTF-8">
...
</head>
Im a jquery starter so if its a wrong one forgive me :)
I just want to know why placing the content at different positions made this script working, although to my best i think script to kept in head section of the document. Please explain the concept.
Working Code
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>Example 2</title>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<p>
</p>
<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery("p").html("Check if jQuery Supports Ajax method : "+ jQuery.support.ajax );
</script>
</body>
</html>
Not Working
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>Example 2</title>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery("p").html("Check if jQuery Supports Ajax method : "+ jQuery.support.ajax );
</script>
</head>
<body>
<p>
</p>
</body>
</html>
In the second instance the code is executed before the <p> has been parsed into the DOM tree, so while it still works there's nowhere to put the output text into. In other words, jQuery("p") matches no element so .html() "does nothing".
You can fix this by either waiting for the DOM to be fully parsed:
jQuery(function() {
jQuery("p").html(...);
});
or by using an output mechanism that does not depend on the <p> existing, such as alert() or console.log().
Well, it seems that your browser firstly load <head> section thus in second example there is no p element then.
In both cases you should wrap your code in $(function(){ ... }).
If you place your script before the <body> element, it is executed before the DOM tree is loaded/parsed. The <p> element does therefore not exist and cannot be found. You can:
Place the script after the <body> tag (like in your first example)
or you can call your function after the ready event has been fired:
$(document).ready(function() {
jQuery("p").html("Check if jQuery Supports Ajax method : "+ jQuery.support.ajax );
});
