im doing a school work with Jquery and I just want to know if its possible and how to do the following:
Page A has the following : external JS file that has the function to allow a user to enter some text and then when they press the submit button that text is automatically put as the paragraph text as ive use JS to get the element and replace the text using innerhtml.
External JS file:
function grabText() {
var grabThePara = document.getElementById("firstP").value;
var intoParagraph = document.getElementById("pOne").innerHTML = grabThePara;
}
HTML FILE :
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title></title>
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery-1.10.2"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="ts.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<input type="text" id="firstP" name="firstP">
<br />
<p id="pOne">Static works fine -- > this is the static</p>
<input type="button" onclick="grabText()" value="Submit">
GO to JD Panel
</body>
</html>
Page B has the Jquery part, this has the code that will grab the text from the Page A's first paragrpah called ID pOne, it gets the text without an issue if its STATIC input but the moment you use as described previous by using the textbox and dynamically changing the text of the paragraph the page A does the change but Page B still shows the static text input, not the new dynamic changes that occurred after input-ed into the textbox and submitted. I will show code.
Page B code :
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title></title>
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery-1.10.2.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="ts.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
Change the text again
<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery.ajax({
url: "adminPanel.html",
success: function (printIt) {
var html = jQuery('<p>').html(printIt);
var grabIt = html.find("p#pOne").html();
var sendItToParaOne = document.getElementById("paraOne").innerHTML = grabIt;
}
});
</script>
<p id="paraOne"></p>
</body>
</html>
Sorry for my English i know its not the best. thanks for taking the time in reading my issue and any helps is appreciated
Thanks again!

You need to save your data somewhere. If you don't want to work with a database, you can use HTML 5 web storage: http://www.w3schools.com/html/html5_webstorage.asp
Furthermore, looking at your external JS file, you might want to have a look at jQuery selectors: http://www.w3schools.com/jquery/jquery_selectors.asp
I hope this helps you.
You're confusing yourself by thinking that pages are able to talk to each other. Your page A has to send the changes to the server, but the server also has to be programmed to listen to those changes in server code like PHP or ASP.NET. Only then can page B get the changes made by page A.

I want to create a simple HTML that on load will go to a URL and then put text in a textbox on the page. Below is the HTML that I came up with so far. It will open the page but will not enter the text that I put in.
Any ideas will be appreciated.
Thank you
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<script>
document.body.innerHTML += 'Link';
document.getElementById("link").click();
</script>
<script>
function displayResult(element)
{
document.getElementById(element).value = "TEST";
}
}
</script>
displayResult("sb_form_q");
</body>
</html>
I tried the above code and I wanted it to put the text "TEST" in the text box on the form.
JavaScript (in a <script> element) runs in the current page. Navigating to a new page will kill the currently running JavaScript program.
If you want to run some JavaScript on the subsequent page then you need to put the JavaScript in that page. You, clearly, don't control Bing, so you can't do that.
It would be a major security problem if you could do that.
The nearest you could come to this would be to write a browser extension that had permission to access bing.com.
If you are specifically looking for Bing searches, you will have to introduce parameters into your href="https://Bing.com/"
example: https://Bing.com/search?q=SEARCHTHIS
I'm really new in Wordpress, Javascript and HTML so I know this question is really basic, but I wasn't able to find it solved anywhere.
I want to create some variables in javascript and then display them in my page which is created in Wordpress.
Reading other posts I've found I need to insert a javascript code that at the end stores my variable this way (dummy version):
<script type="javascript">
document.getElementById('test').innerHTML = 'hello';
</script>
And then on the text block I want to display my variable to be displayed I should add this code:
<body>
<p id="test"></p>
</body>
However I've tried adding the javascript in the header (Tatsu header) and also tried adding it in the text block (HTML version) in different combinations and it never worked. Tried adding the script block before and after the body block, and also tried having it inside, before and after the display line.
If I try the following it works:
<body>
<p>hello</p>
</body>
So I guess my problem is that I'm not setting the variable properly.
Can anyone help? Apologies if this is already solved somewhere, spent some hours and wasn't able to find it.
Thank you in advance.
Your problem is the type of which you're using here:
<script type="javascript">
I noticed this whilst constructing an example of this problem.
javascript is not a correct mime type.
It should be text/javascript as per https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Basics_of_HTTP/MIME_types/Common_types
Please note this is not a complete list. Such as application/javascript also being valid. Please also see https://www.iana.org/assignments/media-types/media-types.xhtml
Working example:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width">
</head>
<body>
<p id="test">
This shouldn't show up
</p>
<script type="text/javascript">
console.log("####### JAVASCRIPT IS RUNNING ######")
document.getElementById('test').innerHTML = 'hello';
</script>
</body>
</html>
There's a good chance that might be a repeat question, but I couldn't find an answer that seemed to resolve my problem. I'm trying to make a jQuery bit where text is inputted into a text box, a button is clicked, and the text in the text box gets appended to a div. The end product is to make a game, but for now I'm just trying to make sure that the variable gets stored and put into the div. Here's my HTML
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Maybe a game maybe</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style.css"/>
<script type="text/javascript" src="script.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<h2>Please enter your name.</h2>
<form name="userInput">
<input type="text" name="textInput"/>
</form>
<button id="confirm">Confirm</button>
<br/>
<div class="textOutput"></div>
</body>
</html>
Here's my CSS
h2 {
font-family:arial;
}
form {
display: inline-block;
}
.list {
font-family:garamond;
color:#cc0000;
}
And here's my jQuery
$(document).ready(function(){
$('#confirm').click(function() {
var playerName = $('input[name=textInput]').val();
$(".textOutput").append("<p>" + playerName + "</p>");
});
});
The idea is that text that gets inputted into the textInput box gets stored in the variable playerName. Then a <p> that contains playerName is appended to the .textOutput <div> when the confirm button is clicked. I'm using a Codecademy tutorial to help me confirm this. The code is almost exactly like the code in the tutorial. The only differences are the names of certain items, and the fact that the confirm button is a button and not a div. The code works perfectly fine in the tutorial, but when I try it in a normal editor, it doesn't work at all. I've even tried copying and pasting the exact code in the tutorial into my editor and still doesn't work. The editor I'm using is Sublime Text 2. I can't find what I'm missing here. Thank you very much in advance.
Please replace
<script type="text/javascript" src="script.js"></script>
with
<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
and then try you code:
$(document).ready(function(){
$('#confirm').click(function() {
var playerName = $('input[name=textInput]').val();
$(".textOutput").append("<p>" + playerName + "</p>");
});
});
I presume you are saving it as text file.
You have to save the file as .html or .htm and wrap the script in <script> tag and wrap the css in <style> tag and then open it in a browser.
you need to include the jquery-library:
put e.g.
<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
inside the head-tag.
You do not have any jQuery libraries in the head tag.
<script src="//code.jquery.com/jquery-1.11.0.min.js"></script>
Your code works, as shown here. http://jsfiddle.net/haxtbh/2gMgQ/
I've built a webpage that is basically a main-page with a div that is filled with different pages by using AJAX. This basically works by loading pages into a div by using innerHTML. One problem I ran into was when a page with javascript is loaded into that div all of the other code runs fine; just the javascript doesnt work.
Main-page(index.php):
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/java">
////bunch of functions////
////Ends up that page_request on this instance is 'graph.php'////
document.getElementById('mydiv').innerHTML=page_request.responseText
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="mydiv"><div>
</body>
</html>
Child-page(loaded in div(graph.php)):
<html>
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="mystyle.css" type="text/css" media="screen" />
<script src="other_stuff.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<script>
///bunch of script////
</script>
</body>
</html>
Now when loading the page itself (opening graph.php) I notice that everything works fine; it is just when I import graph.php to index.php through innerHTML into my div it does not work (no errors just nothing is shown). I have read through many other posts and guides and did not come up with any distictive solution; thinks I have seen were:
Put eval() around my code [I saw on a guide that this could lead
to malicious user attacks].
Create the scripts on the main page then just import the data using:
document.createElement() and .parentNode.insertBefore()
Create a listener and call the functions when I open graph.php
And this good example
Even though I am not 100% sure how this example could work because I have php populate information for the javascript to collect and then make my graph on graph.php; so if I put that function into index.php the php will already be loaded so I would have to refresh the page or call them to update information somehow. Just for some context I am ok at php but I am new and struggle with javascript so I do not know what solution would fit my situation or work the best. Any tips/examples would be greatly appreciated, thank you for your time.
From you code snippets it seems you're looking to embed complete pages within the main page. If that's the case, a more straightforward approach would be to use an iframe element instead.
For example:
...
<div id="main-page-container">
<iframe src="some-path/graph.php" scrolling="no" frameborder="no"></iframe>
</div>
...
See reference and usage example.
I would suggest using jQuery's .load() function for this.
Take a look here: jQuery API
Older browsers such as IE8 and below don't allow you insert a string that contains javascript and execute it, in any form.
Take for instance:
function addScriptText(js_code) {
var element = document.createElement("script");
element.innerHTML = js_code;
document.head.appendChild(element);
}
will not work in IE8 and below.
You must use eval to accomplish this:
function addScriptText(js_code) {
window.eval.call(window, js_code);
}
Otherwise you need to dynamically request an external js file such as:
var script = document.createElement("script");
script.type = "text/javascript";
script.src = "externalScript.js";
document.getElementsByTagName("head")[0].appendChild(script);
Note: The page you are loading (page2.html in this example) must be on the same domain as the page that is loading it (page1.html in this example)
Working solution with jQuery:
Page 1:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Page 1</title>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function () {
$("#page2").load("page2.html");
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Page 1 Header</h1>
<div id="page2">
</div>
</body>
</html>
Page 2:
<h2>Page 2 Header</h2>
<script type="text/javascript">
alert("Page 2 loaded and javascript executed!");
</script>
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);
});
});
<br />BOTTOM OF DOCUMENT
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?
http://www.smarty.net/
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.
