Supposing that I've a block myBox defined as follows:
<div class="myBoxClass" id="myBox">
<h1>My Box</h1>
<img src="http://placehold.it/350x150" alt="My Picture" />
<p>Lorem Ipsum...</p>
</div>
Then, I've defined two containers, containerA and containerB:
<div id="containerA">
<!-- Attach MyBox -->
</div>
<div id="containerB">
<!-- Attach MyBox -->
</div>
I'd like to attach MyBox inside the two containers, by avoiding code repetitions.
Which is the best way to do that?
Note: I'm looking for a client-side solution, useful to define some responsive sections.
You can do that by,
$("#containerA,#containerB").html($('.myBoxClass').clone());
But be aware that id is going to be repeated. That makes the html invalid.
DEMO
And you can avoid the redundancy by giving them unique id after placing them into the DOM,
$("#containerA,#containerB")
.html($('.myBoxClass').clone())
.find('.myBoxClass').attr('id', function (i,val) {
return val + (i+1);
});
DEMO
If the give html structure of myBoxClass differs from, what you shown up here, by means of additional elements with id then you should write the code as per T.J said,
$("#containerA,#containerB")
.html($('.myBoxClass').clone())
.find('[id]').attr('id', function (i,val) {
return val + (i+1);
});
The server-side option is to wrap myBox in a PHP function (or some other server-side language) that echoes/returns the HTML and call said function in the place of your comments. The client-side option is to do the same with Javascript/jQuery. Both are relatively trivial implementations so I won't bother with examples unless you need one (but it's hard to recommend which to use without more info about your site/setup).
However, make sure you iterate the IDs as they must be unique (e.g. #myBox1 and #myBox2)
You can do like this,
$("[id^=container]").append($(".myBoxClass").clone());
The above code will select all the id's starts with container
Fiddle
Use .outerHtml in jquery
$("[id^=container]").append($('#myBox')[0].outerHTML);
DEMO
You can do this my adding the code to a separate page and using .load() JQuery function to load it where you want.
<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>load demo</title>
<style>
body {
font-size: 12px;
font-family: Arial;
}
</style>
<script src="//code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.2.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<b>Projects:</b>
<ol id="new-projects"></ol>
<script>
$( "#something-new" ).load( "/resources/myBox.html #box li" );
</script>
</body>
</html>
clone your html tag.
$("#containerA,#containerB").html($('.myBoxClass').clone());
You could use:
$("[id^=container]").append($(".myBoxClass").clone());
Or
$("[id^=container]").html($(".myBoxClass").clone());
var myBox=$(
'<div class="myBoxClass" id="myBox">'
+'<h1>My Box</h1>'
+'<img src="myPic.png" alt="My Picture" />'
+'<p>Lorem Ipsum...</p>'
+'</div>'
);
Now You got a Jquery Object.
Use this where ever you want.
$('#containerA').append(myBox);
$('#containerB').append(myBox);

I've made an interface for my students where they click an image and hear the description pronounced via text-to-speech, and the text description appears in a div.
Currently I'm calling the text from the image because the onclick event for the speech only works if it's on the div, and since it's a (this) event I don't understand how to combine the two.
First, is it possible, or "better" - to have a single click on the div trigger both functions, rather than splitting them between the div and the image as I've done? This is the only way I could figure out how to get it all working. So that's the first thing.
Second, I'm re-stating this code every time
jQuery(this).articulate('speak')" data-articulate-append=
How can I make this more economical? In reality I have hundreds of items, and there are a bunch more settings in between the jQuery and data-articulate. I've shortened it for this post but in reality it's much longer and repeated hundreds of times.
Last, is it possible to draw the content for the innerHTML from the data-articulate-append part of the TTS command, since it's the same in every case?
Many thanks, I've spent quite a while constructing what I have so far as I'm new to JS. I'm learning and I've tried to answer these questions myself but it's not yet within my skillset, and sorry if I'm not using all correct terminology in my post. I'm including a stripped-down version of the page here, with just the essentials. Any input is greatly appreciated.

You can accomplish this by:
Giving each div a class, for my example its speak. Then add an eventlistener for speak elements. Then in that event listener, you can run multiple functions. You can also get rid of the image's onclick handler.
<div class="speak" data-articulate-append="elephant"><img src="http://www.clients.brettcolephotography.com/test/01.jpg"></div>
<div class="speak" data-articulate-append="camel"><img src="http://www.clients.brettcolephotography.com/test/02.jpg"></div>
<div class="speak" data-articulate-append="bear"><img src="http://www.clients.brettcolephotography.com/test/03.jpg"></div>
$(document).ready(function(){
$(".speak").on("click",function(){
$(this).articulate('speak');
$("#word").html($(this).data("articulate-append"));
});
});
The below Jquery does not run within my browser even though the syntax is correct( checked via online syntax checker) and the functions do run (tested with pure JS). Why is it that so?
I apologize in advance if the answer to this question is rather simple but after 15min of googling I could not arrive at an answer.
JAVASCRIPT:
document.getElementById('overlay').addEventListener('click', function( {
closeLightBox()
});
function closeLightBox() {
$("#overlay").fadeOut(1000);
}
function lightbox(x) {
}
HTML
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title> Lightbox </title>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="lightboxcss.css">
</head>
<body>
<div id = "overlay"> </div>
<img src="batman.jpg" alt="" href="javascript:void(0)" onclick="lightbox(1)" id="batman" style="height:100px;width:160px;margin-left:45%;margin-top:16%;">

<script src="lightboxjs.js"> </script>
</body>
</html>
I assume that javascript code is located in your .js file "lightboxjs.js". Did you include the jQuery library anywhere?
If you don't, start by adding this line <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.2.4/jquery.min.js"></script> before including your custom javascript file.
$(document).ready(function(){
//page is ready
$("#overlay").on("click",function(){
this.fadeOut(1000);
});
});
You cannot add an eventlistener if the dom isnt loaded. Also dont forget to include jquery before executing the upper script
...
Where are you calling the jquery lib? You need to load the jquery just above lightboxjs.js and may as well use jquery syntax to listen to the #overlay click event.
I'm looking for a way that I can search an entire HTML document for a specific word and then swap each instance of that word with an image.
The problem I have is that I don't know what content is there because it is a dynamic page where the content is edited elsewhere and the site just pulls it in so referencing classes and ids is difficult.
I created a simple example with text that could resemble the content but the problem I have is my script will replace the whole document (I believe because of .html?) and I just want it to replace that specific piece of text.
<p>hi</p>
<p>j</p>
var x = $('body:contains("hi")');
x.html('<img src="/Content/by_car.jpg" />');
Could someone point me in the right direction?
Thanks in advance
You need to replace the original html like so x.html(x.html().replace('hi', '<img src="/Content/by_car.jpg" />'));
Also, this will be bad if, for example you will have <p class="hiblo">hi</p>. In this canse it will replace hi in hiblo and hi inside p tag thus ruining your markup.
Generally you can use some kind of regex but it's still not recommended to parse html with regex.
Here is working code.
This code also makes sure that script and style tags don't get replaced otherwise page logic will be broken. So it is taken care of as well.
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery-1.11.3.min.js" > </script>
<style></style>
</head>
<body>
<h1>hi</h1>
<div>hi</div>
<input type="button" onclick="return replaceWithImage()" value="replace with image"/>
<script type="text/javascript">
function replaceWithImage() {
var x = $('body').find(':contains("hi")');
x.each(function(){
if($(this).prop('tagName') != 'SCRIPT' && $(this).prop('tagName') != 'STYLE')
$(this).replaceWith('<img src="/Content/by_car.jpg" />');
});
return false;
}
</script>
</body>
</html>
I want to replace the current script tag with the HTML contents generated by the same script.
That is, my Page is
<html>
<body>
<div>
<script src="myfile1.js"></script>
</div>
<div>
<script src="myfile1.js"></script>
</div>
</body>
</html>
Inside each .js file corresponding html contents are generated. I want to put the contents as the innerHTML of the parent div. But can't set id for the parent div because the page is not static. So the current script tag must be replaced with the HTML content. How can I do this?
For each script tag src is the same. So can't identify with src. These scripts displays
some images with text randomly. Scripts are the same but displays different contents in divs on loading
Please help me
try inside of myfile1.js:
var scripts = document.getElementsByTagName( "script" );
for ( var i = 0; i < scripts.length; ++ i )
{
if ( scripts[i].src == "myfile1.js" )
{
scripts[i].parentNode.innerHTML = "new content";
}
}
This is a great question for those trying to implement a JSONP widget. The objective is to give the user the shortest possible amount of code.
The user prefers:
<script type="text/javscript" src="widget.js"></script>
Over:
<script type="text/javscript" src="widget.js"></script>
<div id="widget"></div>
Here's an example of how to achieve the first snippet:
TOP OF DOCUMENT<br />
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.6.4/jquery.min.js"></script>
// inside of widget.js
document.write('<div id="widget"></div>');
$(document).ready(function() {
$.getJSON('http://test.com?remote_call=1', function(data) {
$('#widget').html(data);
});
});

Have a look at: http://alexmarandon.com/articles/web_widget_jquery/ for the correct way to include a library inside of a script.
document.currentScript has been available since 2011 on Firefox and 2013 on Chrome.
document.currentScript documentation at MDN
<!DOCTYPE html>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>currentScript test</title>
<h1>Test Begin</h1>
<script>
document.currentScript.outerHTML = "blah blah";
</script>
<h1>Test End</h1>
Unfortunately a running JavaScript file is not aware of where it is running. If you use document.write() in the script, the write function will take place wherever the script runs, which would be one way to accomplish what you want, but without replacing the contents or being able to perform any actions on the enclosing DIV.
I can't really envisage a situation where you'd have such stringent restrictions on building a page - surely if the page is dynamic you could generate identifiers for your DIV elements, or load content in a more traditional manner?
Why not use Smarty?

You can use javascript in Smarty templates, or just use built-in functions.
Just take a look at http://www.smarty.net/crash_course
poof -- old answer gone.
Based on your last edit, here's what you want to do:
<html>
<head>
<!-- I recommend getting this from Google Ajax Libraries
You don't need this, but it makes my answer way shorter -->
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
function getRandomContent(){
// I expect this is the contents of your current script file.
// just package it into a function.
var rnd = Math.random();
return "[SomeHtml]";
}
$('.random').each(idx, el){
$(this).html(getRandomHtmlContent());
});
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div class="random">
</div>
<div class="random">
</div>
</body>
</html>
If you don't mind the script tag remaining in place you can use something as simple as document.write().
myfile1.js:
document.write("<p>some html generated inline by script</p>");
It will do exactly what you need.
Is there a tag in HTML that will only display its content if JavaScript is enabled? I know <noscript> works the opposite way around, displaying its HTML content when JavaScript is turned off. But I would like to only display a form on a site if JavaScript is available, telling them why they can't use the form if they don't have it.
The only way I know how to do this is with the document.write(); method in a script tag, and it seems a bit messy for large amounts of HTML.
Easiest way I can think of:
<html>
<head>
<noscript><style> .jsonly { display: none } </style></noscript>
</head>
<body>
<p class="jsonly">You are a JavaScript User!</p>
</body>
</html>
No document.write, no scripts, pure CSS.
You could have an invisible div that gets shown via JavaScript when the page loads.
I don't really agree with all the answers here about embedding the HTML beforehand and hiding it with CSS until it is again shown with JS. Even w/o JavaScript enabled, that node still exists in the DOM. True, most browsers (even accessibility browsers) will ignore it, but it still exists and there may be odd times when that comes back to bite you.
My preferred method would be to use jQuery to generate the content. If it will be a lot of content, then you can save it as an HTML fragment (just the HTML you will want to show and none of the html, body, head, etc. tags) then use jQuery's ajax functions to load it into the full page.
test.html
<html>
<head>
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
$(document).ready(function() {
$.get('_test.html', function(html) {
$('p:first').after(html);
});
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<p>This is content at the top of the page.</p>
<p>This is content at the bottom of the page.</p>
</body>
</html>
_test.html
<p>This is from an HTML fragment document</p>
result
<p>This is content at the top of the page.</p>
<p>This is from an HTML fragment document</p>
<p>This is content at the bottom of the page.</p>
First of all, always separate content, markup and behaviour!
Now, if you're using the jQuery library (you really should, it makes JavaScript a lot easier), the following code should do:
$(document).ready(function() {
$("body").addClass("js");
});
This will give you an additional class on the body when JS is enabled.
Now, in CSS, you can hide the area when the JS class is not available, and show the area when JS is available.
Alternatively, you can add no-js as the the default class to your body tag, and use this code:
$(document).ready(function() {
$("body").removeClass("no-js");
$("body").addClass("js");
});
Remember that it is still displayed if CSS is disabled.
I have a simple and flexible solution, somewhat similar to Will's (but with the added benefit of being valid html):
Give the body element a class of "jsOff". Remove (or replace) this with JavaScript. Have CSS to hide any elements with a class of "jsOnly" with a parent element with a class of "jsOff".
This means that if JavaScript is enabled, the "jsOff" class will be removed from the body. This will mean that elements with a class of "jsOnly" will not have a parent with a class of "jsOff" and so will not match the CSS selector that hides them, thus they will be shown.
If JavaScript is disabled, the "jsOff" class will not be removed from the body. Elements with "jsOnly" will have a parent with "jsOff" and so will match the CSS selector that hides them, thus they will be hidden.
Here's the code:
<html>
<head>
<!-- put this in a separate stylesheet -->
<style type="text/css">
.jsOff .jsOnly{
display:none;
}
</style>
</head>
<body class="jsOff">
<script type="text/javascript">
document.body.className = document.body.className.replace('jsOff','jsOn');
</script>
<noscript><p>Please enable JavaScript and then refresh the page.</p></noscript>
<p class="jsOnly">I am only shown if JS is enabled</p>
</body>
</html>
It's valid html. It is simple. It's flexible.
Just add the "jsOnly" class to any element that you want to only display when JS is enabled.
Please note that the JavaScript that removes the "jsOff" class should be executed as early as possible inside the body tag. It cannot be executed earlier, as the body tag will not be there yet. It should not be executed later as it will mean that elements with the "jsOnly" class may not be visible right away (as they will match the CSS selector that hides them until the "jsOff" class is removed from the body element).
This could also provide a mechanism for js-only styling (e.g. .jsOn .someClass{}) and no-js-only styling (e.g. .jsOff .someOtherClass{}). You could use it to provide an alternative to <noscript>:
.jsOn .noJsOnly{
display:none;
}
In the decade since this question was asked, the HIDDEN attribute was added to HTML. It allows one to directly hide elements without using CSS. As with CSS-based solutions, the element must be un-hidden by script:
<form hidden id=f>
Javascript is on, form is visible.<br>
<button>Click Me</button>
</form>
<script>
document.getElementById('f').hidden=false;
</script>
<noscript>
Javascript is off, but form is hidden, even when CSS is disabled.
</noscript>
You could also use Javascript to load content from another source file and output that. That may be a bit more black box-is than you're looking for though.
Here's an example for the hidden div way:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title></title>
<style>
*[data-when-js-is-on] {
display: none;
}
</style>
<script>
document.getElementsByTagName("style")[0].textContent = "";
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div data-when-js-is-on>
JS is on.
</div>
</body>
</html>
(You'd probably have to tweak it for poor IE, but you get the idea.)
My solution
.css:
.js {
display: none;
}
.js:
$(document).ready(function() {
$(".js").css('display', 'inline');
$(".no-js").css('display', 'none');
});
.html:
<span class="js">Javascript is enabled</span>
<span class="no-js">Javascript is disabled</span>
Alex's article springs to mind here, however it's only applicable if you're using ASP.NET - it could be emulated in JavaScript however but again you'd have to use document.write();
You could set the visibility of a paragraph|div to 'hidden'.
Then in the 'onload' function, you could set the visibility to 'visible'.
Something like:
<body onload="javascript:document.getElementById(rec).style.visibility=visible">
<p style="visibility: visible" id="rec">This text to be hidden unless javascript available.</p>
There isn't a tag for that. You would need to use javascript to show the text.
Some people already suggested using JS to dynamically set CSS visible. You could also dynamically generate the text with document.getElementById(id).innerHTML = "My Content" or dynamically creating the nodes, but the CSS hack is probably the most straightforward to read.
