I am trying to avoid hard-coding each instance of this WYSIWYG editor so I am using jQuery to create an each() loop based on function name. Annoyingly InnovaStudio seems to explode when I try.
Documentation
Attempt #1
<script type="text/javascript">
/*
id = $(this).attr('id');
if(id.length == 0)
{
id = 'wysiwyg-' + wysiwyg_count;
$(this).attr('id', id);
}
WYSIWYG[wysiwyg_count] = new InnovaEditor('WYSIWYG[' + wysiwyg_count + ']');
WYSIWYG[wysiwyg_count].REPLACE(id);
*/
var demo = new InnovaEditor('demo');
demo.REPLACE('wysiwyg-1');
console.log('loop');
</script>
Effect
Works fine, but of course only works for a single instance of the editor. If I want multiple instances I need to use an each.
Attempt #2:
<script type="text/javascript">
var wysiwyg_count = 1;
//var WYSIWYG = [];
var demo;
(function($) {
$(function() {
$('.wysiwyg-simple').each(function(){
/*
id = $(this).attr('id');
if(id.length == 0)
{
id = 'wysiwyg-' + wysiwyg_count;
$(this).attr('id', id);
}
WYSIWYG[wysiwyg_count] = new InnovaEditor('WYSIWYG[' + wysiwyg_count + ']');
WYSIWYG[wysiwyg_count].REPLACE(id);
*/
demo = new InnovaEditor('demo');
demo.REPLACE('wysiwyg-1');
console.log('loop');
});
});
})(jQuery);
</script>
Effect
Replaces the entire HTML body of my page with JUST WYSIWYG related code and complains as no JS is available (not even Firebug, so can't debug).
Notice that I am hardcoding the name still. I only have one instance on the page I am testing it on, so when I get this hard-coded name working I will get the commented out code working along the same lines.
Does anybody know what the hell is going on here?
Solution: Don't bother trying to use InnovaStudio, went with CKEditor instead.
Even though you went for CKEditor you might be interested in a solution. You can supply a second argument to the REPLACE function. This second argument should also be a id, id from a element able to accept html output (like div, span, p).
demo = new InnovaEditor('demo');
demo.REPLACE('wysiwyg-1', 'wysiwyg-1-replaceDiv');
When the second argument is left out, InnovaStudio, writes the html output to the document by simply using:
document.write();
Hope this helps!
Why don't you use their own initialization code since version 4.3:
<textarea class="innovaeditor">
content here...
</textarea>
<script>
oUtil.initializeEditor("innovaeditor",
{width:"700px", height:"450px"}
);
</script>
The method is oUtil.initializeEditor(selector, option). The first parameter is selector and second is editor properties in JSON format.
The selector can be:
Css class name, if class name is specified all textareas with specified class name will be replaced with editor.
Textarea Id. If it is an Id, a prefix '#' must be added, for example oUtil.initializeEditor("#mytextarea").
Textarea object.
The second parameter is editor's properties. All valid editor's properties can be specified here for example width, height, cmdAssetManager, toolbarMode, etc.
Note that this method can be called from page onload or document ready event or during page load (as long as the object referred by selector are already rendered). This method available automatically when the page include the editor script.

I am trying to get the patientNumber (ClinicA100-PF-TR1-P1) using querySelector. I keep getting a NULL value. The patientNumber is at the top of the page and the script is at the bottom. Even after the page is loaded, I click a button that runs the function and it still returns a NULL value.
Here is a screenshot of the selectors (https://recordit.co/IypXuuXib0)
<script type="text/javascript">
function getPatientNumber(){
var patientNumber = document.querySelector("patientNumber");
console.log(patientNumber);
console.log("hello");
return patientNumber;
}
var patientNumber = getPatientNumber();
console.log(patientNumber);
_kmq.push(['identify', patientNumber]);
</script>
Thank you for any help you can provide.
ADDITIONAL HTML INFORMATION:
I am using Caspio (database management software) to create this HTML code. I don't know if that may be the cause of the issue. Here is the HTML CODE.
<p class="sponsorName" id="sponsorNameID">[#authfield:User_List_Sponsor_Name]</p>
<p class="clinicNumber" id="clinicNumberID">[#authfield:User_List_Site_Number]</p>
<p class="protocolNumber" id="protocolNumberID">[#authfield:User_List_Protocol_Number]</p>
<p class="patientNumber" id="patientNumberID">[#authfield:User_List_Patient_Number]</p>
You are missing a dot.
var patientNumberNode = document.querySelector(".patientNumber");
var patientNumber = patientNumberNode.innerText;
if you select the item with class".", if you select with id, you should use"#".
var patientNumber = document.querySelector(".patientNumber"); // class select
var patientNumber = document.querySelector("#patientNumber"); // id select
Your selector is incorrect. It should be
var patientNumber = document.querySelector(".patientNumber");
Why is it failing:
When you use patientNumber as the selector, JavaScript looks for an element with a name of patientNumber. Since that's not the case, and you are looking for an element with a class of patientNumber, you need to use the . notation.
Addon Suggestion (can be ignored):
Since you are also using IDs, consider using document.getElementById() as it is faster than using document.querySelector().
Note that if you use document.getElementById(), your .patientNumber selector won't work. You need to write it as
document.getElementById('patientNumberID');
//ID based on the screenshot of the DOM you've shared
While the code is at the bottom of the page, and the element is at the top, it is not loaded asynchronously as it comes from a third party database. i put a delay in the getPatientNumber() and it works now.
I'm trying to add a search link to an online form with a userscript using jQuery. I don't work too much in firefox and I feel like things that would normally work in chrome don't in ff 9/10 times for me. But anyway... this needs to be with ff.
I'm taking the text from a <p> element and creating a search url out of it (or trying to). Right now this is the function I'm trying that should be doing it... but it's doing nothing, not even any errors in console
$(function() {
var companyName = $('p')[7]; // Element that contains the name text
var companyText = companyName.text(); // Retrieve the text from element
var mixRankUrl = $("<a></a>").innerHTML("Search Mixrank"); // Create an <a> element
mixRankUrl.href = 'https://mixrank.com/appstore/sdks?search=' + companyText; // Define the href of the a element
var sdkPara = $('label.control-label')[10]; // Where I want it to go
sdkPara.append(mixRankUrl); // Append the element
});
Also, whoever wrote the html uses hardly any ids, and most classes are assigned to 10 or more elements... so unless there's a better way, I'm sort of stuck using node selectors (which stay the same form to form).
The problem is that you try to use jQuery method on DOM element. Don't understand why you don't have any errors with your code.
For exemple : $('p')[7] return a DOM element while $('p').eq(7) return a JQuery object. So you can't use a jQuery method like text() on your DOM element. You need to deal with jQuery object.
For the same reason, you had a problem with the declaration of your label object and with the modification of the href attribute of your link.
Try like this :
$(function() {
var companyName = $('p').eq(7); // Element that contains the name text
var companyText = companyName.text(); // Retrieve the text from element
var sdkPara = $('label.control-label').eq(10); // Where I want it to go
var mixRankUrl = $('<a>',{
text: 'Search Mixrank',
href: 'https://mixrank.com/appstore/sdks?search=' + companyText
}).appendTo(sdkPara); // Append the element
});
i have this pretty simple piece of code where i get a certain id and what im trying to do is to change the element's css.
the code looks like this:
<script>
jQuery('.sitePick').click(function(event){
var site = (event.target.href.split("#")[1]); // get the id
console.log(site); // make sure i get the correct id
jQuery('#' + site).css("display" , "block"); //change css
});
</script>
the log prints the correct id of the element, and when i tried t use the same id like this : docuemnt.getElementById(site).style.display = "block"
it worked, but not when using jQuery.
what worries me the most its that even when i passed the id as is ( jQuery("#dummySite") to jQuery it still didn't work..any idea what i'm doing wrong? thx
UPDATE
the value of site is "site_buzzy.com".
I am loading jquery right at the beginning of the file, other jquery methods work.the script being loaded after the content.
You need to escape dot(s) in some way to use site string as jQuery selector.
var site = (event.target.href.split("#")[1]).replace(/\./g, "\\.");
Now this could be simplified to:
var site = event.target.hash.replace(/\./, "\\."); // get the id
jQuery(site).show();
jQuery('.sitePick').click(function(event) {
var site = event.target.hash.replace(/\./, "\\."); // get the id
jQuery(site).show(); //change css
});
.hidden {
display: none;
}
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<a class="sitePick" href="#site_buzzy.com">Site Pick</a>
<br />
<div id="site_buzzy.com" class="hidden">The DIV #site_buzzy.com</div>
Alrite, I have seen other Questions with similar titles but they don't do exactly what Im asking.
I have 2 x HTML documents, one containing my page, one containing a element with a paragraph of text in it. As-well as a separate .js file
what I want to do is extract this text, store it as a JS variable and then use jQuery to edit the contents of an element within the main page. This is the conclusion I came to but it didnt work as expected, im not sure if it is me making a syntax error or if i am using the wrong code completely:
$(document).ready(function(){
var c1=(#homec.substring(0))
// #homec is the container of the text i need
$(".nav_btn #1").click(function(c1){
$(".pcontent span p") .html(+c1)}
);
});
i know +c1 is most probably wrong, but i have been struggling to find the syntax on this one. thankyou in advance :D
var c1=(#homec.substring(0)) will throw an error because #homec is not a valid variable name, is undefined, and does not have a property function called substring. To get the html of an element with an id of homec, use the html method:
var c1 = $("#homec").html();
c1 should not be an argument of the click function because it is defined in the parent scope. +c1 is unnecessary because you do not need to coerce c1 to a number.
If you are trying to add content to the end of the paragraph, use the append method:
$(".pcontent span p").append(c1)
That means you should use this code instead:
$(document).ready(function() {
var c1 = $("#homec").html();
$(".nav_btn #1").click(function() {
$(".pcontent span p").append(c1)
});
});
P.S. Numbers are not valid ID attributes in HTML. Browsers support it, so it won't make anything go awry, but your pages won't validate.
Try this:
$(".nav_btn #1").click(function(c1){
var para = $(".pcontent span p");
para.html(para.html() + c1);
});
The JQuery text() function will allow you to get the combined text contents of each element in the set of matched elements, including their descendants. You can then use the text(value) function to set the text content of your target paragraph element. Something like this should suffice:
$(document).ready(function() {
var c1 = $("homec").text();
$(".nav_btn #1").click(function() {
$(".pcontent span p").text(c1);
});
});
See the JQuery documentation for more details on the text() function. If you need to capture the full structure of the other document, then try the html() function instead.
Essentially, I want to pull text within a div tag from a document on my server to place it in the current document. To explain the reason: I want to pull a headline from a "news article" to use it as the text for a link to that article.
For example, within the target HTML is the tag:
<div id='news-header'>Big Day in Wonderland</div>
So in my current document I want to use javascript to set the text within my anchor tags to that headline, i.e.:
<a href='index.php?link=to_page'>Big Day in Wonderland</a>
I'm having trouble figuring out how to access the non-current document in JS.
Thanks in advance for your help.
ADDED: Firefox style issue (see comment below).
I'm not sure where you're getting your HTML but, assuming you already have it in a string, you could create a document of your own, stuff your HTML into it, and then use the standard getElementById to pull out the piece you want. For example:
var doc = document.implementation.createDocument('http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml', 'html', null);
doc.documentElement.innerHTML = '<body><div>Nonsense</div><div id="news-header">Big Day in Wonderland</div><p>pancakes</p></body>';
var h = doc.getElementById('news-header');
// And now use `h` like any other DOM object.

Normally, I would try to solve an issue only with the tools specified by the user; but if you are using javascript, there really is no good reason not to just use jQuery.
<a id='mylink' href='url_of_new_article' linked_div='id_of_title'></a>
$(function() {
var a = $('#mylink');
a.load(a.attr('href') + ' #' + a.attr('linked_div'));
});
That little function up there can help you update all your link's text dynamically. If you have more than one, you can just put it in a $('a').each() loop and call it a day.
update to support multiple links on condition:
$(function() {
$('a[linked_div]').each(function() {
var a = $(this);
a.load(a.attr('href') + ' #' + a.attr('linked_div'));
});
});
The selector makes sure that only the links with the existence of the attribute 'linked_div' will be processed.
You need to pull the content of the remote document into the current DOM, as QuentinUK mentioned. I'd recommend something like jQuery's .load() method
