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"/>

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 found this jsfiddle code, and I need it and I want to try that in my php file, but it doesn't work, whereas it's the same code, i just copied and paste and I don't change anything, but it still doesn't work.
My Code:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<?php
?>
<html>
<head>
<title></title>
<script>
$("#update").click(function() {
$("#counter").html(function(i, val) {
return val*1+1
});
});
</script>
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.4/jquery.min.jss"></script>
</head>
<body>
<button id="update" type="button">Click Me</button>
<div id="counter">10</div>
<?php
?>
</body>
</html>
Please show me my fault. Any help would be appreciated!
You should really be able to debug this yourself. Open your javascript console, and notice it says ReferenceError: $ is not defined. This means jquery isn't loaded. Now look at the URL you put in your script-src. Why does it end with in .jss? You have a typo there.
If you correct that you'll still get the same error. Why? Because you use jquery before including it. So put the included jquery library before the custom code.
Now, it still won't work. Why? Because you attach an event before the DOM is loaded; so when your script is processed, the button doesn't exist! So have a look at http://api.jquery.com/ready/ and you should know what to add, wrap your javascript inside $(function() {...}) and you're good to go
Maybe it's just a typo in jquery.min.jss
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.4/jquery.min.jss"></script>
it must be jquery.min.js
Or you placed your javascript before the jquery reference.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.4/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
$('#target').click(function() {
$('#output').html(function(i, val) { return val*1+1 });
});
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<button id="target" type="button">Click Me</button>
<div id="output">10</div>
</body>
</html>
I have the following (simplified) code:
<!DOCTYPE html SYSTEM "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<title>Test</title>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.js" />
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
function testFunction() {
alert('It works');
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form method="post" action="test.html" onsubmit="testFunction()">
<input type="submit" value="Test" />
</form>
</body>
</html>
My testFunction() function works fine by it self, that is until I import jQuery with the line
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.js" />
Now it fails and tells me that
Uncaught ReferenceError: testFunction is not defined
I am hoping this is a newbie mistake and that I am missing something obvious. Notice that I haven't even try to use jQuery yet.
You need to close the <script> tag fully.
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.js"></script>
Works great on jsfiddle after changing:
http://jsfiddle.net/PVYM9/
Also, in HTML5 you can shorten the doctype to just <!DOCTYPE html>, and you don't need to define type properties for your <script> tags. See jsfiddle for example.
You have to close the script tag in the right way
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.js"></script>
(note the closing </script> tag)
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.js"></script> // close the script tag properly
<script type="text/javascript"> // there is no need of writing language="javascript"
function testFunction() {
alert('It works');
}
</script>
hey man there is no need of writing language="javascript" because type already specifies it!
Despite being valid XML, many HTML elements (such as script, textarea etc) don't work well in most browsers if you close them using a trailing slash (i.e. <element />). You need to create open and close tags for them to work (<element></element>). That seems to be true for XHTML as well.
Others, like your input tag, work fine the way it is. I don't know why some require a closing tag and others not, neither a list of those elements, I just know some of them from experience...
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 just started with Jeditable and for 3 hours now it seems I can't figure it out. This tutorial should have been piece of cake:
http://www.appelsiini.net/projects/jeditable
, but it turned out to be a little pain in the a$$. I've put the jquery.js and jquery.jeditable.js in the same directory with the main page. This is my code (it seems like the code tags won't do the trick, so I'll give you only the important blocks):
the header contains
<script type="text/JavaScript"
src="jquery.js"></script>
<script type="text/JavaScript"
src="jquery.jeditable.js"></script>
<script type="text/JavaScript"
$(document).ready(function() {
$('.edit').editable('#');
});
and the body of my html contains:
<div class="edit" id="div_1">Edit me</div>
And that's about it. It should give me an editable form when I click the "Edit me", but nothing happens. Where do I go wrong ? Thanks in advance.
I don't know if this is a typo in the question or your actual code but check this line:
<script type="text/JavaScript"
$(document).ready(function() {
$('.edit').editable('#');
});
it should be
<script type="text/JavaScript">
$(document).ready(function() {
$('.edit').editable('#');
});
</script>
Are you trying to send the ajax to the same page you are on? If so, replace the '#' with window.location.href and you should be good to go.
