If I un-comment the second document.write() in the loop inside the function then it hangs (it does not display anything and times out). I appreciate your help.
document.all is a "live" collection. Each time you loop, you add 2 new items. This means every time it evaluates the length property it's always going to be larger than i.

I have a simple counting loop that counts to 10000 and logs every number to the console. Before i start the loop i want to write "TEST" to the body in my html.
Although i do this before i start the loop it appends "TEST" to the body only after the loop is done. However i can log something to the console before starting the loop. I think i am blocking the browser thread or something, i don't know how to write this in a non blocking manner. I have been trying to figure out this Problem for quite some time. Your Help would be much appreciated !!!
My HTML code:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
</head>
<body>
<button onclick="myfunc()">click me</button>
</body>
<script src="index.js"></script>
</html>
My javascript code:
function myfunc() {
var h1 = document.createElement("h1").innerText = "TEST"
document.body.appendChild(h1) //appends only after loop is done
console.log("test") // this works
for (var i = 0; i < 10000; i++){
console.log(i)
}
}
One solution is to put your loop code in a timeout and set the delay to 1 millisecond
function myfunc() {
var h1 = document.createElement("h1")
h1.innerText = "TEST"
document.body.appendChild(h1) //appends before the loop
console.log("test") // this works
setTimeout(()=>{
for (var i = 0; i < 10000; i++){
console.log(i)
}
},1)
}

This question already has answers here:
How to prevent a click on a '#' link from jumping to top of page?
(24 answers)
Closed 2 years ago.
I'm student and it hasn't been long since I studied programming.
below code is simplified than real for explain.
'test()' is actually Ajax function to get data.
My goal is making 'a tag' for paging operation.
But when i clicked 'a tag', 'test()' inside of '$(document).ready' is called after 'a tag' click event occurred.
So page is always back to 1.
I don't know why this happen.
Anyone could help me?
Thank you!

For some reason you're calling test() inside of test(). There are a few minor things you need to change also
Prefix jQuery objects with $. var $a=... to avoid ambiguity.
preventDefault is used on the event, not the jQuery object. $a.click(function(event){event.preventDefault();...});
Otherwise it works as I believe you want it to, alerting the page number on click.

this might be a dumb thing to ask but I am getting a lot of trouble with this for and quiz I need to make for and assignment, and I am trying to increment the score when the user clicks to the correct button. However, the score is not incrementing. here is a little sample of what it looks like.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset = "utf-8">
<title>Increment Button</title>
</head>
<body>
<button onclick="IncrementScore()"> Increment</button>
<script>
var score = 0;
function IncrementScore()
{
score++;
}
console.log(score);
</script>
</body>
</html>
You have a few issues.
You probably want to console.log from within the IncrementScore function.
You want to increment the variable using += 1 or ++.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<button onclick="IncrementScore()"> Increment</button>
<script>
var score = 0;
function IncrementScore() {
score++;
console.log(score);
}
console.log(score);
</script>
</body>
</html>
Change your code to score += 1 and move you console call to inside of your function.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset = "utf-8">
<title>Increment Button</title>
</head>
<body>
<button onclick="IncrementScore()"> Increment</button>
<script>
var score = 0;
function IncrementScore()
{
score += 1;
console.log(score);
}
console.log(score);
</script>
</body>
</html>
On each click you increment variable. And in next line assign to variable "1". You should delete line
score = 1;
TL;DR: Actually the score did increment, but not be printed out via the click handler.
As I know in your snippet, all your script in <script> tag (include console.log) will all execute once initially. Then it sits there to listen to the events, like your click. Then when you click on the button, the IncrementScore function is called, it increments the score variable, but not print it out. You know why? because you don't tell it to do so, (in the IncrementScore handler). If you notice, you'll see that you only have one 0 printed out, not each 0 per click.
You should read about the call stack,etc.. to know more about the order which code is executed...
The fixes snippet can be found in other's answer, here is the code for when the variable actually "does not change", and be printed out for each click.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<button onclick="IncrementScore()"> Increment</button>
<script>
var score = 0;
function IncrementScore() {
//score++;
console.log(score);
}
</script>

I'm new to JS and HTML. I learned that it's possible to name a variable by code. So i tried some simple variable naming code. However, it doesn't print anything on the page.
What seems to be the problem?
javascript
for (var i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
window['var' + i] = i;
}
document.getElementById("text").innerHTML = "" + var8;
html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8" />
<script src="JScript.js"></script>
<title>Practice</title>
</head>
<body>
<p><span id="text"></span>left</p>
</body>
</html>
Enclose your javascript code in below document.ready function, so that it will execute only when your page is ready.
$(document).ready(function () {
// enter your code here
});
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.
