I've been working on JS for just under 6 months now, but today when I tried to start a new project, I couldn't get a simple function to run from a link... I've searched around, simplified my code and still can't get it.
I'm getting a reference error, saying 'test' is not defined. Not really sure why as it's worked perfectly every other time as far as I can remember.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8" />
<script type="text/javascipt">
function test()
{
alert("Entered");
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div>
<p id="data"></p>
<a onclick="test()" href="#">Fetch Data</a><br />
Fetch Data v2
</div>
</body>
</html>
At this point, I don't even know what to do...
Remove the type="text/javascipt" from your script tag, or correct spelling.
You have a spelling mistake with:
text/javascipt (should be text/javascript)
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8" />
<script type="text/javascript">
function test()
{
alert("Entered");
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div>
<p id="data"></p>
<a onclick="test()" href="#">Fetch Data</a><br />
Fetch Data v2
</div>
</body>
</html>

okay, first off, i am new to this. I was instructed to use sweet alert for the alerts in our project. I see to it that it will work so i made a simple one on a different file and made something like the code below, but it's not working. The Sweetalert is not showing. Did i miss something?
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<link href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/sweetalert/1.1.3/sweetalert.css" rel="stylesheet" />
</head>
<body>
<script>
swal("Hello World");
</script>
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/sweetalert/1.1.3/sweetalert.min.js" />
</body>
</html>
You are calling Sweet alert before it has been declared and linked to your HTML document. Move the script reference to sweetalert.min.js to the head of your page. And also, script tags cannot be self closing. You need to close the script tag by doing </script>, like this:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<link href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/sweetalert/1.1.3/sweetalert.css" rel="stylesheet" />
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/sweetalert/1.1.3/sweetalert.min.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<script>
swal("Hello World");
</script>
</body>
</html>
Here is the code. I'm over Arch Linux, if this is a important thing...I'm tired of trying different libraries, in local, from jquery's site but it does't work...
<!doctype html>
<html>
<meta charset="utf-8" />
<head>
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.3/jquery.min.js" type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#header").hide();
$("#header").fadeIn(2000);
});
</script>
<title>1</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1 id="header" align="center">Page content</h1>
<p align="center">
Footer
</p>
</body>
</html>
Put your jQuery call and your custom script in separate tags.
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.3/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#header").hide();
$("#header").fadeIn(2000);
});
</script>
Note that with HTML5 you don't need to specify type for JavaScript.
Wrong way of using script tag !
Make sure you properly wrapped your jQuery code inside a <script></script> block. Also close all open script blocks.
This should work
<!doctype html>
<html>
<meta charset="utf-8" />
<head>
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.3/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#header").hide();
$("#header").fadeIn(2000);
});
</script>
<title>1</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1 id="header" align="center">Page content</h1>
<p align="center">
Footer
</p>
</body>
</html>
Working sample
I'm using JSBin.com to test this simple code, for fun, but I can't seem to get it to output anything in the "Output" window on the site... is this just a limitation of the site or am I missing something completely obvious?
Here's my HTML-
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>Math.Random</title>
</head>
<body onLoad "findRandom();">
<p id="getRandom"> </p>
</body>
</html>
And my JS-
function findRandom()
{
document.getElementById("getRandom").innerHTML = Math.random();
}
Missing an equal sign maybe
<body onLoad="findRandom();">
I have an image.html file in dreamweaver.
in source code I link an js file called img.js
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8" />
<title>PHOTO</title>
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript" src="js/img.js"></script>
</body>
</html>
if an use an alert in img.js
alert("My First Jquery Test");
it shows correctly in web page but if write some javascript code like
<html>
<body>
<p id="p2">Hello World!</p>
<script>
document.getElementById("p2").style.color="blue";
</script>
The paragraph above was changed by a script.
nothing shows..why and how I show this?
The script is working as you can see here.
Report your fully HTML file if still have problem.
Remember:
<html>
<head></head>
<body>
<p id="p2">Hello World!</p>
<script>
document.getElementById("p2").style.color="blue";
</script>
</body>
</html>
Do it right
edit img.js
window.onload=function(){
alert("My First Jquery Test");
document.getElementById("p2").style.color="blue";
}
I'm new to JavaScript and just want to put my JavaScript code in another file.
This is my html page:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8"/>
<title>my badass page</title>
<script type="text/javascript" scr = "testing.js"></script>//this contains the function I want to call
</head>
<body id="body">
<button type="button", onclick="showDate()">show the date</button>
</body>
</html>
This is the testing.js file:
function showDate() {
alert ("this works")
}
I'm assuming that I just make a beginner mistake because it seems really common but I can't figure it out.
you spelled the 'src' attribute incorrectly on your tag
you spelled it scr, it should be src
this:
<script type="text/javascript" scr = "testing.js"></script>
should be this:
<script type="text/javascript" src = "testing.js"></script>
change the button to
<button type="button" onclick="showDate()">show the date</button>
and change scr to src
EDIT: source that works:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8"/>
<title>my badass page</title>
<script type="text/javascript" src="testing.js">
</script>
</head>
<body id="body">
<button type="button" onclick="showDate();">show the date</button>
</body>
</html>
Quick use of html validator such as http://validator.w3.org/nu/ will uncover lots of problems in your code. Just copy paste and correct the errors.
