Cannot get the number of var using javascript

I have this certain problem where I cannot get the number value of 'currentStock' var data inside an HTML file using JavaScript. I have this on my HTML file in script tag:
By the way, due to the HTML being too large, and also it was not originally my script, but from a friend who was asking for some help on adding some features in it, I can't upload the whole script as it will be going to be too long. The whole HTML script has 14076 characters with 289 lines.
I have only studied java and not javascript with HTML, so I need help with this one.
<script>
window.onload = function() {
var goDown = document.getElementById('uniqueNav');
var goRight = document.querySelector('.clothesNav');
var goUp = document.querySelector('.shrink');
goDown.style.marginTop = "0px";
goRight.style.marginLeft = "5px";
goUp.style.height = "0px";
}
$('document').ready(function(){
var name = "Ombre Printed Shirt";
var price = "P499.00";
var initialStock = 0;
var currentStock = initialStock;
document.querySelector('#clothTitle').innerHTML = "" +name;
document.querySelector('#clothPrice').innerHTML = "Price: " +price;
document.querySelector('#PITitle').innerHTML = "" +name;
document.querySelector('#PIPrice').innerHTML = "Price: " +price;
document.querySelector('#currentStock').innerHTML = "CurrentStocks: " +currentStock;
}); //------------------------Change This Every Document ----------------------------//
</script>
then this in my JavaScript File:
var cStocks = document.getElementById('currentStock').data;
alert(typeof cStocks);
alert("Data in cStocks = " + cStocks);
if (!cStocks) {cStocks = 0; alert("cStocks, not a valid number");}
if ((cStocks <= 0) == true)
{
document.querySelector('.clothButton').style.display='none';
document.querySelector('.clothButtonDisabled').style.display='flex';
}
else
{
document.querySelector('.clothButton').style.display='flex';
document.querySelector('.clothButtonDisabled').style.display='none';
}
upon loading the page, the alert says thaat the data type is undefined. I don't know what's happening with my code. did I miss something?
By the way, I have JQuery on my HTML page. it says JQuery v3.3.1 as a version

It doesn't look to me like #currentStock will have a data attribute, or value attribute (which is for inputs), so of course the js returns undefined. Right now it looks like #currentStock is having the innerHTML set on the document.ready to Current Stocks: 0
You do have an accessible variable, currentStock, which is defined during document.ready. Why aren't you accessing it directly? It will have the numeric value in it already. All you can get from #currentStock is the html you generated on document.ready, and you'd have to parse the number out of it, when it's available in raw form in the js variable currentStock.

Having trouble appending javascript into my html

OK,so I am trying to pull some data from an api. The problem that I have run into is that I am able to find out the information that I am looking for, but am having trouble getting that information out of the console and onto my main index.html page.
Here is my JS code
var form = $('#search');
var input = $('#search-keyword');
var results = $('#results');
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#myBtn").on('click', function() {
var symbol = $("#search-keyword").val();
$.getJSON("http://dev.markitondemand.com/Api/v2/quote/jsonp?symbol=" + symbol + "&callback=?", function(info) {
console.log(info);
});
});
});
Here is my html code
<div id="search">
<h1>API Test</h1>
<input type="search" id="search-keyword">
<button id="myBtn">Try it</button>
</div>
<div id="results"></div>
By doing this, I am able to get pretty much what I am looking for. However I cannot get the data from the console to the actual page.
I have tried appendChild
var bob = document.getElementById(results);
var content = document.createTextNode(info);
bob.appendChild(info);
I have tried innerHTML
var theDiv = document.getElementById(results);
theDiv.innerHTML += info;
..and I have tried .append()
$('#myBtn').click(function() {
$(results).append(info)
})
I'm out of ideas. I realize that I probably have a small problem somewhere else that I am not seeing that is probably the root of this. Much thanks to anyone who can help me with this issue.

"results" needs to be in quotes with regular javascript and for jquery you have already decalred the results variable.
var theDiv = document.getElementById("results");
theDiv.innerHTML += info;
$('#myBtn').click(function(){
results.append(info)
})
Also since you are declaring results outside of your document ready call you have to make sure you html comes before the javascript.

<script>
var form = $('#search');
var input = $('#search-keyword');
var results = $('#results');
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#myBtn").on('click', function() {
var symbol = $("#search-keyword").val();
var resultedData = $.getJSON("http://dev.markitondemand.com/Api/v2/quote/jsonp?symbol=" + symbol + "&callback=?", function(info) {
return info;
});
var resultDiv = document.getElementById("results");
resultDiv.innerHTML += resultedData;
});
});
</script>

jQuery replaceWith issue

I have an iframe to a third party system and which, when called, updates a database record and then displays a confirmation message. I'd like to change the text of the confirmation using jQuery, but cannot seem to get it working. This is the code I have so far. The call to the third party system works but the replacement text doesn't appear. Any pointers, please? Thank you.
<script type="text/javascript">
$.urlParam = function(name){
var results = new RegExp('[\\?&]' + name + '=([^&#]*)').exec(window.location.href);
if (!results) { return ''; }
return results[1] || '';
}
var lidval = $.urlParam('lid');
var cidval = $.urlParam('cid');
var cyidval = $.urlParam('cyid');
//construct url
var crmurl ='http://somerandomhost.com/Portal/index.php?task=unsusbscribe&lid='+lidval+'&cid='+cidval+'&cyid='+cyidval;
jQuery(function($){
$('#crm').attr('src', crmurl);
});
</script>
<iframe frameborder="0" id="crm" scrolling="no" width="100%" src=""></iframe>
<script type="text/javascript">
function($){
$('crm').replaceWith('Replacement text goes here');
};
</script>

if you want to show the string into the irframe try this:
PURE JS:
var doc = document.getElementById('crm').contentDocument;
doc.body.innerHTML = 'Replacement text goes here';
jQuery:
var doc = $('#crm')[0].contentDocument;
$(doc.body).html('Replacement text goes here')

To change content of an iframe you can Try below code
var ifr = $('#crm')[0].contentWindow.document,
ifbody = $('body',ifr);
ifbody.html('Replacement text goes here');

Extracting the source code of a facebook page with JavaScript

If I write code in the JavaScript console of Chrome, I can retrieve the whole HTML source code by entering:
var a = document.body.InnerHTML; alert(a);
For fb_dtsg on Facebook, I can easily extract it by writing:
var fb_dtsg = document.getElementsByName('fb_dtsg')[0].value;
Now, I am trying to extract the code "h=AfJSxEzzdTSrz-pS" from the Facebook Page. The h value is especially useful for Facebook reporting.
How can I get the h value for reporting? I don't know what the h value is; the h value is totally different when you communicate with different users. Without that h correct value, you can not report. Actually, the h value is AfXXXXXXXXXXX (11 character values after 'Af'), that is what I know.
Do you have any ideas for getting the value or any function to generate on Facebook page.
The Facebook Source snippet is below, you can view source on facebook profile, and search h=Af, you will get the value:
<code class="hidden_elem" id="ukftg4w44">
<!-- <div class="mtm mlm">
...
....
<span class="itemLabel fsm">Unfriend...</span></a></li>
<li class="uiMenuItem" data-label="Report/Block...">
<a class="itemAnchor" role="menuitem" tabindex="-1" href="/ajax/report/social.php?content_type=0&cid=1352686914&rid=1352686914&ref=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2 F%3Fq&h=AfjSxEzzdTSrz-pS&from_gear=timeline" rel="dialog">
<span class="itemLabel fsm">Report/Block...</span></a></li></ul></div>
...
....
</div> -->
</code>
Please guide me. How can extract the value exactly?
I tried with following code, but the comment block prevent me to extract the code. How can extract the value which is inside comment block?
var a = document.getElementsByClassName('hidden_elem')[3].innerHTML;alert(a);

Here's my first attempt, assuming you aren't afraid of a little jQuery:
// http://stackoverflow.com/a/5158301/74757
function getParameterByName(name, path) {
var match = RegExp('[?&]' + name + '=([^&]*)').exec(path);
return match && decodeURIComponent(match[1].replace(/\+/g, ' '));
}
var html = $('.hidden_elem')[0].innerHTML.replace('<!--', '').replace('-->', '');
var href = $(html).find('.itemAnchor').attr('href');
var fbId = getParameterByName('h', href); // fbId = AfjSxEzzdTSrz-pS
Working Demo
EDIT: A way without jQuery:
// http://stackoverflow.com/a/5158301/74757
function getParameterByName(name, path) {
var match = RegExp('[?&]' + name + '=([^&]*)').exec(path);
return match && decodeURIComponent(match[1].replace(/\+/g, ' '));
}
var hiddenElHtml = document.getElementsByClassName('hidden_elem')[0]
.innerHTML.replace('<!--', '').replace('-->', '');
var divObj = document.createElement('div');
divObj.innerHTML = hiddenElHtml;
var itemAnchor = divObj.getElementsByClassName('itemAnchor')[0];
var href = itemAnchor.getAttribute('href');
var fbId = getParameterByName('h', href);
Working Demo
I'd really like to offer a different solution for "uncommenting" the HTML, but I stink at regex :)

Query String for pre-filling html form field

I manage a website for an organization that has separate chapter sites. There is a membership signup form that is on the main website that each chapter links to. On the form there is a dropdown box that allows a person to choose the chapter they want to join. What I would like to do is have each chapter website use a specific link to the form that will preselect their chapter from the dropdown box.
After searching the web, I found that I will probably need to use a Javascript function to utilize a Query String. With all my searching, I still can't figure out the exact code to use. The page is a basic HTML page...no php and it is hosted on a linux server.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If you format your url like this:
www.myorg.com?chapter=1
You could add this script to your html head:
function getparam(name) {
name = name.replace(/[\[]/, "\\\[").replace(/[\]]/, "\\\]");
var regexS = "[\\?&]" + name + "=([^&#]*)";
var regex = new RegExp(regexS);
var results = regex.exec(window.location.href);
if (results == null)
return "";
else
return results[1];
}
function loadform()
{
var list = document.getElementById("mychapterdropdown");
var chapter = getparam("chapter");
if (chapter>=0 && chapter < list.options.length)
{
list.selectedIndex = chapter;
}
}
The in your html body tag:
<body onload="loadform();" >
Could probably add more validation checks but that's the general idea.

It sounds like what you are looking for are GET or POST requests. For instance, if your user selects "Chapter A" from your form and hits select, you can allow redirects from another site (for instance http://www.yoursite.com/form.html?chapter=A) to allow Chapter A to be preselected. In Javascript this is done by
var chapter="";
var queryString = location.search.substring(1);
if ( queryString.length > 0 ) {
var getdata = queryString.split("&");
var keyvalues;
for(var i=0; i < getdata.length; i++){
keyvalues = getdata.split("=");
}
} else {
chapter = "Not Found";
}
document.getElementById( "ChapterID").value = keyvalues['chapter'];
This is untested, so don't hold me to it :).

maybe something using parse_url
$params = parse_url()
$query = $params['query'];
$query_pairs = explode('&',$query);
$key_val = array();
foreach($query_pairs as $key => $val){
$key_val[$key] = $val;
}
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.parse-url.php

You would probably have to use an dynamic ajax content. Use the following javascript to read the querystring, then load the html file in that div using this javascript.
