Javascript does not work upon AJAX call - javascript

I have a page which does an AJAX call and loads an entire page. The page that gets loaded has some Javascript. The javascript works on page by itself when loaded, but when its gets loaded by AJAX, the Javascript does not work. I dont know what I am missing.
The code of the loaded page
<html>
<script type="text/javascript">
function showfield(name){
if(name=='lstbox')document.getElementById('div1').style.display="block";
else document.getElementById('div1').style.display="none";
}
function hidefield() {
document.getElementById('div1').style.display='none';
}
</script>
<head>
</head>
<body onload="hidefield()">
<form action = "test2.php" method = "post">
Please enter a name for the App <input type = "text" name = "name">
<table border = "1"><tr><th>Choose a Label</th><th>Choose an element</th></tr>
<tr><td><input type = "text" name = "label1" /></td> <td>
<select name = "elementtype1" id="elementtype1" onchange="showfield(this.options[this.selectedIndex].value)">
<option value = 'select'> Select </option>
<option value='txtbox'>Text Box</option>
<option value='lstbox'>List Box</option>
<option value='chkbox'>Check Box</option>
<option value='radio'>Radio Button</option>
</select></td><td><div id="div1">Enter Listbox options: <input type="text" name="whatever1" /></div></td></tr>
</table>
<input type = "submit" value = "Submit">
</form>
</body>
</html>
The code of the loading(AJAX) page is
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<script src="ajax.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="responseHTML.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<div id="storage" style="display:none;">
</div>
<div id="displayed">
<FORM name="ajax" method="POST" action="">
<p>
<INPUT type="BUTTON" value="Get the Panel" ONCLICK="loadWholePage('appcreator.php')">
</p>
</FORM>
</div>
</body>
</html>
The ajax.js code
function createXHR()
{
var request = false;
try {
request = new ActiveXObject('Msxml2.XMLHTTP');
}
catch (err2) {
try {
request = new ActiveXObject('Microsoft.XMLHTTP');
}
catch (err3) {
try {
request = new XMLHttpRequest();
}
catch (err1)
{
request = false;
}
}
}
return request;
}
The responseHTML.js code
function getBody(content)
{
test = content.toLowerCase(); // to eliminate case sensitivity
var x = test.indexOf("<body");
if(x == -1) return "";
x = test.indexOf(">", x);
if(x == -1) return "";
var y = test.lastIndexOf("</body>");
if(y == -1) y = test.lastIndexOf("</html>");
if(y == -1) y = content.length; // If no HTML then just grab everything till end
return content.slice(x + 1, y);
}
/**
Loads a HTML page
Put the content of the body tag into the current page.
Arguments:
url of the other HTML page to load
id of the tag that has to hold the content
*/
function loadHTML(url, fun, storage, param)
{
var xhr = createXHR();
xhr.onreadystatechange=function()
{
if(xhr.readyState == 4)
{
//if(xhr.status == 200)
{
storage.innerHTML = getBody(xhr.responseText);
fun(storage, param);
}
}
};
xhr.open("GET", url , true);
xhr.send(null);
}
/**

*/
function processHTML(temp, target)
{
target.innerHTML = temp.innerHTML;
}
function loadWholePage(url)
{
var y = document.getElementById("storage");
var x = document.getElementById("displayed");
loadHTML(url, processHTML, x, y);
}
/**
Create responseHTML
for acces by DOM's methods
*/
function processByDOM(responseHTML, target)
{
target.innerHTML = "Extracted by id:<br />";
// does not work with Chrome/Safari
//var message = responseHTML.getElementsByTagName("div").namedItem("two").innerHTML;
var message = responseHTML.getElementsByTagName("div").item(1).innerHTML;
target.innerHTML += message;
target.innerHTML += "<br />Extracted by name:<br />";
message = responseHTML.getElementsByTagName("form").item(0);
target.innerHTML += message.dyn.value;
}
function accessByDOM(url)
{
//var responseHTML = document.createElement("body"); // Bad for opera
var responseHTML = document.getElementById("storage");
var y = document.getElementById("displayed");
loadHTML(url, processByDOM, responseHTML, y);
}

Javascript loaded in HTML through AJAX will not be executed.
If you want to include scripts dynamically, append <script> tags to the existing loaded page's <head> element.

execute the script with jquery rather than with innerHTML
//this is not working!
document.getElementById("chart-content").innerHTML = this.responseText;
//try this
$("#chart-content").html(this.responseText);

The script is outside the body tag, and the loader picks out only the code inside the body tag, so the script is not even part of what you add to the page.

Loading you Js within the <head> should work. use this.
if (document.readyState === 'loading') {
document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', loadJs);
} else {
loadJs();
}
function loadJs() {
var script = document.createElement('script');
script.type = 'text/javascript';
script.src = '/assets/script/editor-controlls.js';
script.defer = true
document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(script);
}

Detecting a click after a new element is loaded after the DOM

I am trying to create a simple Chrome Plugin - however I have come to an issue.
I am trying to detect a click on a div using a simple getElementById - however as the api call happens after the DOM is loaded the JS cannot 'find' any div's and gives an error and doesn't do anything after I click on the element.
How do I detect the click, after the data from the API has loaded? I have included some of my code below:
Thanks
document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function () {
var checkPageButton = document.getElementById('checkPage');
checkPageButton.addEventListener('click', function () {
inputBox = document.getElementById("postcodeInput").value
console.log(inputBox)
let xml = new XMLHttpRequest();
xml.open('get', "https://api.getaddress.io/find/" + inputBox + "/?api-key=SECRET&expand=true", false);
xml.send(null);
var data = xml
var arr = xml.responseText
var data = JSON.parse(arr)
var postcode = data.postcode
var addresses = data.addresses
console.log(addresses)
document.getElementById("postcode").innerHTML = postcode;
var text = "";
var i;
for (i = 0; i < addresses.length; i++) {
text += "<div id='addressClick' name=" + i + ">" + addresses[i].line_1 + "</div>" + "<br>";
}
document.getElementById("data").innerHTML = text;
clickFunc()
}, false);
}, false);
function clickFunc() {
var rowBox = document.getElementById("addressClick");
rowBox.addEventListener('click', function () {
console.log('asd');
}, true);
}
HTML
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Address Search</title>
<script src="popup.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<h3>Address Search</h3>
<input type="text" id='postcodeInput' name="postcodeInput" value="KW1 4YT">
<button id="checkPage">Search</button>
<div class='results'>
<h3>Results - <span id='postcode'></span></h3>
<p id='data'></p>
</div>
</body>
</html>
<style>
body {
width: 200px
}
#addressClick:hover {
color: blue;
cursor: pointer
}
</style>
You can attach an EventListener to all the body and, at every click, detect if the clicked element is the desired one:
document.body.addEventListener('click', event => window.alert(event.target.innerText));
This can sound like an aggressive solution, but it's way less invasive than a MutationObserver

Uncaught TypeError: google.script.run.doSomething is not a function

I am trying to check if the input name is already in a Google Sheet. However, I am getting this error:
Uncaught TypeError: google.script.run.doSomething is not a function.

I tried debuging it with prompts but with no success. It seems like the function do something is properly called. But the code stops working aftergoogle.script.run.doSomething();.
I have looked at the documentation for successhandlers but they dont solve the issue either.
How about this modification?
Issue of your script:
doSomething() of google.script.run.doSomething() is required to be Google Apps Script.
In your script, doSomething() is put in HTML (index.html), and a method for using Google Apps Script is included. When google.script.run.doSomething() is run, doSomething() cannot be found at Google Apps Script (code.gs). By this, such error occurs. And if doSomething() is run at HTML side, also an error occurs at Sheets.Spreadsheets.Values.get(), because Sheets.Spreadsheets.Values.get() is the method of Advanced Google Services with Google Apps Script.
If you put it to Google Apps Script (code.gs), Javascript which is used at the script of doSomething() is required to be modified.
Modified script:
In this modification, your script was separated to Google Apps Script (code.gs) and HTML (index.html). var nameGiven = document.getElementById("meetingTitle").value; and checkNameCS(name); are used in index.html.
By the way, before you run this script, please enable Sheets API at Advanced Google Services.
Google Apps Script: code.gs
function strip(str) {
return str.replace(/^\s+|\s+$/g, '');
}
function doSomething (nameGiven) {
var nameExists = false;
var nameVerified = false;
var name = nameGiven.toLowerCase();
name = strip(name);
var spreadsheetId = '###'; //Sheet id entered
var rangeName = 'Sheet1';
var values = Sheets.Spreadsheets.Values.get(spreadsheetId, rangeName).values;
if (values) {
for (var row = 0; row < values.length; row++) {
if (name == values[row][0]) {
nameExists = true;
}
}
}
if (nameExists) {
return "";
}
nameVerified = true;
return name;
}

I am having a JavaScript code that is having a value in #message but i have not defined anywhere.
Does $("#message").html(result); is something inbuilt in Javascript?
I apologize if it is very basic and stupid question.

$("#message").html(result); is something inbuilt in Javascript?
No.
$ is a variable that is no part of the JavaScript spec, nor is it part of the common extensions to JS provided by browsers in webpages. It is commonly used by libraries such as PrototypeJS and jQuery. This particular case looks like jQuery, but you aren't including that library in your page.
Fist off, remember to include jQuery as script in your html document or $ will not be defined.
#message Refers to an element in your html document with the tag of id="message"
To get an element in jQuery, by id, you use this syntax: var Element = $("#ID");
So, to make sure your code works, ensure that both there is an element with the ID message, and a defined variable named result containing the html text to put into your element.
Since you want to append to <div id="clockDisplay"> <span id="user">Username :</span></div>, why not change it to:
<div id="clockDisplay">
<span id="user">Username :</span>
<div id="message"></div>
</div>

use Ajax and JavaScript to create dynamic links from the results

HTML contains two div make different ajax calls to both the divs,where div1 is the result of html form and div2 should be the result of onclick on div1
html
<html lang="en">
<head>
<title>Display Movie Information</title>
<meta charset="utf-8"/>
<script type="text/javascript" src="movies.js"></script>
</head>
<body onload="initialize();">
<tr><td>
<form>
<label>Movie title: <input type="text" id="form-input"/></label>
<input type="button" onclick="sendRequest();" value="Display Info"/>
</form>
<div id="output"> </div></td>
<td><div id="right_panel">Display Dynamic results here</div></td>
</body>
</html>
I have a movies.js file which using ajax gets the result
function initialize () {
}
function sendRequest () {
var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
var query = encodeURI(document.getElementById("form-input").value);
xhr.open("GET", "proxy.php?method=/3/search/movie&query=" + query);
xhr.setRequestHeader("Accept","application/json");
xhr.onreadystatechange = function () {
if (this.readyState == 4) {
var json = JSON.parse(this.responseText);
var str = JSON.stringify(json,undefined,2);
//customized code
console.log(json.results.length);
var i=0;
var movie_title,release_date;
var movies = new Array();
while(i<json.results.length)
{
movie_title = json.results[i].title;
release_date = json.results[i].release_date;
movies[i] = "<li>"+movie_title+"<br/>"+release_date+"<br/></li>";
i++;
}
document.getElementById("output").innerHTML = "<ul>" + movies + " </ul>";
}
};
var movie_detail = new XMLHttpRequest();
var movie_credit = new XMLHttpRequest();
xhr.send(null);
}
This code displays the title and the release date of the movies(result of onclick on the button)
Q: I want to make the movie title an hyperlink that could make a call like www.imdb.com/(movie_title) and display the result in the second div tag named "right_panel" using only ajax and javascript and no jquery.

Dynamically uploading a file in background with JavaScript

I'm trying to upload files in the background. I am not able to use any frameworks so I have to do manually. The page already contains a form, and the file input fields are located within that form, so I can't embed a form in a form so I need to move the file input around.
The problem with the code I'm using is that it doesn't seem to actually submit, I don't see any network activity at all. Can anyone spot anything wrong here?
<form>
...
<input id="photo-file-input" type="file"/>
<button type="button" onClick="uploadBackground('photo-file-input');">Upload</button>
....
</form>
function uploadBackground(fileInputId)
{
var iframe = createIframe('TEST');
var form = createUploadForm('TEST', 'upload.php');
var fileInput = document.getElementById(fileInputId);
var fileInputParent = fileInput.parent;
//move file input into generated form
form.appendChild(fileInput);
form.submit();
iframe.onload = function()
{
alert('file was uploaded');
//put the file input back where it was
fileInputParent.appendChild(fileInput);
//clean up generated elements
iframe.parent.removeChild(iframe);
form.parent.removeChild(form);
}
}
function createUploadForm(target, action)
{
var form = document.createElement('form');
form.display = 'none';
form.target = target;
form.action = action;
form.method = 'POST';
form.enctype = 'multipart/form-data';
return form;
}
function createIframe(name)
{
var iframe;
try
{
iframe = document.createElement('<iframe name="' + name + '">');
}
catch (ex)
{
iframe = document.createElement('iframe');
iframe.name = name;
}
return iframe;
}
You can not copy a file input element and set/keep its value. It is for security reasons. There is no reason why you need to create a new form. Just append an iframe to the page, set the target of form to the iframe name and submit the original form.
I have looking for the same problem and I think, I have found an solution, which will work for Firefox and Chrome and may be on IE 10 and above ( here I need some morr testing )
The solution is a little bit ugly because I use a frameset. But this is the only solution I have found so far.
The use case is:
We have a website with an product catalog, the editor can upload videos for each product.
The upload of the video need a long time, so I have look for an solution, where after you have chosen a video an start the upload, you can navigate to an other product and upload an other file without to wait until the download of the first is complete.
The test is based on some other work:
https://stackoverflow.com/a/1186309/2248340
https://stackoverflow.com/a/105074/2248340
How it works:
If you press submit, all you form data will be placed in an object. in this object is also the selected file list.
This object will push in an array requests in the upload frame.
here runs the watchdog and look if there are new requests ( status = 0 )
If it found one a new upload is started.
Here is my test project to try it:
The frameset:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>Insert title here</title>
</head>
<frameset rows="*,100">
<frame id="start" name="start" src="start.html">
<frame id="upload" name="upload" src="frame.html">
</frameset>
<noframes>
<body>
please use this
</body>
</noframes>
</html>

var a = this.serializeArray();
$.each(a, function() {

if (!o[this.name].push) {
o[this.name] = [o[this.name]];
}
o[this.name].push(this.value || '');
} else {
o[this.name] = this.value || '';
}
});
return o;
};
var UploadRequest=function(f)
{
var o= {};
o['guid']=guid();
o['action']=$('form').attr('action');

<form id="test" action="phpinfo.php">

var olddogcounter=localStorage['uploadwatchdog'];
var check=false;
function guid() {
function s4() {
return Math.floor((1 + Math.random()) * 0x10000)
.toString(16)
.substring(1);
}
return s4() + s4() + '-' + s4() + '-' + s4() + '-' +
s4() + '-' + s4() + s4() + s4();
}
$(function() {
$('#test').submit(function() {
var request=new UploadRequest();
parent.upload.requests.push(request);
return false;
});
});
</script>
<a href="test.html" >test</a>
</body>
</html>
and the upload frame:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>frame</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>frame</h1>
<iframe id="response" width="100%" height="200"></iframe>
<script>
var requests=new Array();
var counter=0;
function watchdog()
{
for(var i=0; i<requests.length; i++)
{
var request=requests[i];
if(request.status==0)
{
alert("watchdog :"+dump(request));
request.status=1;
uploadFile(request);
}
}
}
function uploadFile(request)
{
var url = request.action;
var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
var fd = new FormData();
xhr.open("POST", url, true);
xhr.onreadystatechange = function() {
if (xhr.readyState == 4 && xhr.status == 200) {
iframe=document.getElementById("response");
iframe.src="data:text/html;charset=utf-8," + escape(xhr.responseText);
}
};
if(request.files.length>1)
{
for(var i=0; i<request.files.length;i++)
{
var file=request.files[i];
fd.append("upload_file[]", file);
}
}
else
{
var file=request.files[0];
fd.append("upload_file",file );
}
for( var key in request.values)
{
fd.append(key,request.values[key] );
}
xhr.send(fd);
}
window.setInterval(watchdog,2000);
</script>
</body>
</html>
The solution is not complete, but I think is an good starting point.
ToDo:
- Show name of uploads in a list
- after upload remove request from array requests
- show progess bar for upload
- some error handling
