I'm new at javascript, but I want a random string. this string should be printed on my current page.
I already have:
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
<script type="text/javascript">
var strings = ['aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa', 'bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb', 'ccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccc'];
var randomIndex = Math.floor(Math.random() * strings.length);
var randomString = strings[randomIndex];
document.getElementById('randomString').innerHTML = randomString;
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="randomString"></div>
</body>
according to JSFiddle, this should work, but it doesn't. what should I change?
It does not work because your javascript is executed before the #randomString div exists. So, you need to either move your javascript after the #randomString div in the code, or use onLoad attribute of the to execute the function when the document is ready, which means that you would need to wrap your current code in a function.
You try to access the div with the id randomString before it exists in the DOM. Move the <script> to the bottom (somewhere after the div) and it'll work.
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
</head>
<body>
<div id="randomString"></div>
<script type="text/javascript">
var strings = ['aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa', 'bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb', 'ccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccc'];
var randomIndex = Math.floor(Math.random() * strings.length);
var randomString = strings[randomIndex];
document.getElementById('randomString').innerHTML = randomString;
</script>
</body>
</html>
btw, your code missed the </html>
You may try this :
window.onload=function(){
var strings = ['aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa', 'bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb', 'ccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccc'];
var randomIndex = Math.floor(Math.random() * strings.length);
var randomString = strings[randomIndex];
document.getElementById('randomString').innerHTML = randomString;
}

I've a web page which include a JavaScript function to convert the multiple lines to a comma separated data. Here is the code:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>Add case</title>
<script type="text/javascript">
function replaceSeperator() {
var incident_box = document.getElementById("TextBoxIncidentID")
var content = incident_box.value;
//incident_box.innerHTML = content.replace(/\n/g, ",");
var ctt = content.replace(/\n/g, ",");
var lastchar = ctt.substr(ctt.length - 1);
if (lastchar != ",") {
incident_box.innerHTML = ctt;
} else {
incident_box.innerHTML = ctt.substr(0,ctt.length - 1);
}
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<textarea name="TextBoxIncidentID" rows="2" cols="20" id="TextBoxIncidentID" textwrapping="Wrap" acceptreturn="true" onmouseout="replaceSeperator()" style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:Medium;height:60px;width:430px;margin-top: 5px;"></textarea>
</body>
</html>
It works fine in IE:
The line break replaced to comma
But it doesn't working as expected in Chrome and Firefox:
Line break replaced to comma at Dev Tool but it doesn't present on Chrome
Does any one know how to fix it?
Thanks
Use value property. innerHTML is for another purposes. Even textarea has the closing tag, the inner content is the textarea value:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>Add case</title>
<script type="text/javascript">
function replaceSeperator() {
var incident_box = document.getElementById("TextBoxIncidentID")
var content = incident_box.value;
//incident_box.innerHTML = content.replace(/\n/g, ",");
var ctt = content.replace(/\n/g, ",");
var lastchar = ctt.substr(ctt.length - 1);
if (lastchar != ",") {
incident_box.value = ctt;
} else {
incident_box.value = ctt.substr(0,ctt.length - 1);
}
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<textarea name="TextBoxIncidentID" rows="2" cols="20" id="TextBoxIncidentID" textwrapping="Wrap" acceptreturn="true" onmouseout="replaceSeperator()" style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:Medium;height:60px;width:430px;margin-top: 5px;"></textarea>
</body>
</html>
You are missing a ; at the end of
var incident_box = document.getElementById("TextBoxIncidentID")
Some browsers are more forgiving to this than others.
A real beginner here, with a really basic question, but I simply can't get Javascript to change pictures when using the build in "onclick()" with HTML images..
I looked through so many questions about this, and tried different approaches to changing it, but can't get it to work.
I've tried with different src's, providing the full path and with online image adresses. Tried passing the variable. Simply can't get it to work.
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title> Javascript - changing images </title>
<script type="text/javascript">
function change() {
var image = document.getElementByID("fpimage");
image.src = "logo2.png"
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<img src="logo.png" alt = "bla" id = "fpimage" onclick="change();"">
</body>
</html>
Change
var image = document.getElementByID("fpimage");
TO
var image = document.getElementById("fpimage");
You misspelled getElementById with a capital D
<head>

Yep, like Clyde said, you made a mistake on the getElementById() function, keep in mind that Js is case sensitive ;)

Please note that I am not using classes. I haven't found an answer for this SPECIFIC question.
Using javascript, how can I program a button to change the stylesheet each time the button is clicked?
I've tried different if, else if and else, but when I try them, it breaks the code (ie, it will change the color to blue if red, but not back again).
It works with 2 buttons, but getting it to change each time a single button is clicked seems to be eluding me. I got feed up and programmed a second button to change it back.
This works for 2 buttons:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>"Your Title Here"</title>
<link id="um" rel="stylesheet" href="stylesheet1.css">
<style>
</style>
</head>
<body>
<p>booga</p>
<button id="x" onclick="myFunction()">blue</button>
<button id="x1" onclick="myFunction1()">red</button>
<script>
function myFunction() {
if (document.getElementById("um").href = "stylesheet1.css"){
document.getElementById("um").href = "stylesheet2.css"}
}
function myFunction1() {
if (document.getElementById("um").href = "stylesheet2.css"){
document.getElementById("um").href = "stylesheet1.css"}
}
</script>
</body>
I would like to be able to get rid of the second button and second function and have it all with one button.
EDIT...
I tried this, and it failed.
function myFunction() {
if (document.getElementById("um").href == "stylesheet1.css")
{document.getElementById("um").href = "stylesheet2.css"};
else {document.getElementById("um").href = "stylesheet1.css"}
}
Make sure you're using == instead of = for your comparisons!
if (document.getElementById("um").href == "stylesheet1.css")
etc
Try this:
<button id="x" onclick="myFunction()">Change</button>
<script>
function myFunction() {
var link = document.getElementById("um");
var segments = link.href.split('/');
var currentStyle = segments[segments.length - 1];
var style = (currentStyle == 'stylesheet1.css') ? 'stylesheet2'
: 'stylesheet1';
document.getElementById("um").href = style + ".css"
}
</script>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>"Your Title Here"</title>
<link id="um" rel="stylesheet" href="stylesheet1.css">
</head>
<body>
<p>booga</p>
<button onclick="myFunction('um','stylesheet1.css', 'stylesheet2.css')">swap</button>
<script>
function myFunction(id,a,b) {
var el = document.getElementById(id);
var hrefStr;
if(~el.href.indexOf(a)) {
hrefStr = el.href.replace(a, b);
el.href = hrefStr;
} else {
hrefStr = el.href.replace(b, a);
el.href = hrefStr;
}
}
</script>
</body>

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';
