I am trying to change our site to load a Header through jquery using the .load() function but to do so I need to set the Title of the page.
From another StackFlow question it was suggested to do something as simple as
$(document).ready(function() {
document.title ='Name Changed to Protect the Innocent';
});
When i do this I get the firebug error
Missing } in XML Expression for that line in the script
I am sure there is probably an easy solution but it is certainly escaping me.
I've just tested this out here, please see if you have created your html document in the same way. Code as below.
<html>
<head>
<title>Old Title</title>
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery-1.4.2.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
document.title ='Name Changed to Protect the Innocent';
});
</script>
</body>
</html>
I found what the problem was. This script was in the middle of another script block which was causing the error.
Thanks for all the help.

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>
I have an HTML page with a typical structure:
<html>
<head>
<script src="..." ></script>
<style>...</style>
</head>
<body>
content
</body>
<script>
var success_callback = function(data) {
// REPLACE PAGE CONTENT & STRUCTURE WITH "data"
}
ajax(url, params, success_callback);
</script>
</html>
Do you think it is possible ? I've already tried to give the html tag an id and doing $(id).replace(data); with no success.
Don't ask me why, but that is what I need (I'm working with a special "mashup builder" site... it is a long story).
EDIT : I forgot to say that scripts in the received content have to be executed, even external scripts included using <script src="...">.
The simplest way is to set the new HTML content using:
document.open();
document.write(newContent);
document.close();
try this with jQuery:
$('body').load( url,[data],[callback] );
Read more at docs.jquery.com / Ajax / load
Here's how to do it in Prototype: $(id).update(data)
And jQuery: $('#id').replaceWith(data)
But document.getElementById(id).innerHTML=data should work too.
EDIT: Prototype and jQuery automatically evaluate scripts for you.
You could try doing
document.getElementById(id).innerHTML = ajax_response
the simplest way is
$("body").html(data);
Can't you just try to replace the body content with the document.body handler?
if your page is this:
<html>
<body>
blablabla
<script type="text/javascript">
document.body.innerHTML="hi!";
</script>
</body>
</html>
Just use the document.body to replace the body.
This works for me. All the content of the BODY tag is replaced by the innerHTML you specify.
If you need to even change the html tag and all childs you should check out which tags of the 'document.' are capable of doing so.
An example with javascript scripting inside it:
<html>
<body>
blablabla
<script type="text/javascript">
var changeme = "<button onClick=\"document.bgColor = \'#000000\'\">click</button>";
document.body.innerHTML=changeme;
</script>
</body>
This way you can do javascript scripting inside the new content. Don't forget to escape all double and single quotes though, or it won't work. escaping in javascript can be done by traversing your code and putting a backslash in front of all singe and double quotes.
Bare in mind that server side scripting like php doesn't work this way. Since PHP is server-side scripting it has to be processed before a page is loaded. Javascript is a language which works on client-side and thus can not activate the re-processing of php code.
I'm assuming you are using jQuery or something similar. If you are using jQuery, then the following should work:
<html>
<head>
<script src="jquery.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
</head>
<body>
content
</body>
<script type="text/javascript">
$("body").load(url);
</script>
</html>
Okay so all I am trying to do is make the jquery work in my javascript file which is linked to a html file. I created a totally new file for this to test it. The whole contents of the html file are:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<script src="C:\Users\Me\Desktop\Programming\jquery-1.12.4" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="check.js"></script>
<head> <h1>test</h1>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
And the whole content of the js file is
$("h1").css("color", "red");
But when I open the html file in chrome the change I put in the js file with jquery doesn't show up (e.g the heading is not red). I just want to figure out how to make it so that it does.
EDIT:
Thanks for the help everybody, I was able to make it work :)
did you try this?
$(document).ready(function(){
$("h1").css("color", "red");
});
not sure but, does your browser access local files directly? im pretty sure that browser sandbox gonna reject that, maybe cors plugin on chrome?
EDIT:
try importing this instead...
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.2.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
Move your <h1> tag to be in the <body>
Move your <script> tags to the <head>
Replace your code in your JS file with what imvain2 said, so
that the JS will load once your document is ready.
Make sure you are correctly referencing your jQuery script. You can even use this to test it out:
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.2.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
Try to use jQuery CDN, this way you don't need to worry if jQuery loaded correctly or not.
$(document).ready(function() {
$("h1").css("color", "red");
});
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.12.4.min.js"></script>
<script src="check.js"></script>
<head></head>
<body>
<h1>test</h1>
</body>
</html>
There are a couple issue as described in other posts. All your meta, script, css references, etc. should go int the <head> and never header tags. Also need to correctly reference your javascript files.
<head>
</head>
<body>
<header>
<h1>test</h1>
</header>
</body>
Example: JSFiddle
If you want to use jquery in .js file all you need to do is type: src=" ..." above code.
I have added script in my Default.aspx page. I am getting following error.
$ is defined by jQuery, which you probably haven't referenced. A simple way to get it is to add one of the CDN urls to your template HTML:
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.1.min.js"></script>
You need to include jQuery: http://learn.jquery.com/about-jquery/how-jquery-works/
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8" />
<title>Demo</title>
**<script src="jquery.js"></script>**
</head>
<body>
...
</body>
</html>
I had the same problem, but did have a correct reference to jQuery.
I solved it by referencing jQuery before any other scripts. In your case, it would look like this:
<script src= "scripts/jquery-ui.js" />
<script src= "scripts/JavaScript_scroll.js" />
Hope this helps anyone else with a similar issue.
I had the Same Problem as that $ is Unidentified, After a long struggle, I come to know that there is some thing HTML coder error in Master Page, So it worked fine when i include the Jquery files directly in Content page
(For others who may face the same problem as OP's)
I had the same problem, but the reason was that I was trying to load my jQuery script before loading the jQuery library itself. In other words, make sure that you first add this line:
<script src="Scripts/jquery-{version}.min.js"></script>
before adding
<script src="Scripts/JavaSript_scroll.js"></script>
I thought I understood jQuery, evidently not. Why, in this example, does the first textbox register clicks but not the second?
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4
/strict.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery-1.4.2.min"/>
<script type="text/javascript">
captureKeys = function(event)
{
alert("foo");
}
$(document).ready(function()
{
$('#UsingJQuery').bind('keyup', function(){alert('bar');});
});
</script>
</head>
<body id="contentText" >
<input type="text" id="UsingPlainJavaScript" onkeyup="captureKeys()"/>
<input type="text" id="UsingJQuery"/>
</body>
</html>
EDIT: OK, I've fixed the typo but it's still not working..
This is asking for trouble:
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery-1.4.2.min"/>
You need a </script> to have a valid markup
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery-1.4.2.min"></script>
That is a big NoNo and might be the reason for your problem. Another thing is, there is no .js in your filename? Make sure that your jQuery lib has the correct name aswell.
Reference: http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/#C_3
Because the ID of the second input element is UsingJQuery (capital U), not usingJQuery.
$('#UsingJQuery').bind('keyup', function(){alert('bar');});
should do it.
Update:
The error must be somewhere else, your code is correct. See: http://jsfiddle.net/H2xye/
Maybe you did not include jQuery correctly:
src="jquery-1.4.2.min.js"
you are missing .js at the end of the path. At least this is the standard naming, maybe you renamed it.
The error console should tell you more.
Update2: See jAndy's answer regarding the </script> tag. This is probably the other problem!
Please change
from
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery-1.4.2.min"/>
to
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery-1.4.2.min.js"/>
