JavaScript Functions Not Working After AJAX XML HttpRequest

I am creating an interactive map that allows the user to select year from timeline and filter events, this is done via XML HttpRequest that redraws the SVG everytime.
The SVG code for the map, including the JavaScript functions to zoom and the tooltip are re written everytime the user selects the year/filter. The code is a string in Java as it relies on if statements. However, whenever the user selects the year/filter the JavaScript functions do not work. The JavaScript code is repeated three times in the one class in separate if statements
This is the XML http Request code:
var year_selected = document.getElementById('year').innerHTML;
var xhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
xhttp.onreadystatechange = function() {
if (this.readyState == 4 && this.status == 200) {
document.getElementById("map").innerHTML = xhttp.responseText;
}
};
xhttp.open("GET", "/BCMapYear.html/"+year_selected, true);
xhttp.send();

You can add (); after your block that you want executed.
(function(){
//Bunch of code...
})();

Create an Array in For loop without running over the array

I'm trying to do a college project.
I'm supposed to create 'Notes' add them to an array and keep them in my local storage.
Now the notes should be created with a Fade in effect (transition) using CSS3.
Everything works perfectly until I create the second note at which point my whole array is run over again which makes all the notes to appear in fade.
CSS:
.note_input {
height:255px;
width:200px;
background-image:url('../img/notebg.png');
padding-top:25px;
padding-left:10px;
display:inline-block;
animation: fadein 0.3s;
-webkit-animation: fadein 0.3s;
}
#keyframes fadein {
from {
opacity:0;
}
to {
opacity:1;
}
}
#-webkit-keyframes fadein {
from {
opacity:0;
}
to {
opacity:1;
}
}
And this is my JS to create the Array + Note itself:
function AddNote (){
var input = document.getElementById("txt").value;
var date = d.getDate() + " " + months[d.getMonth()] + " " + d.getFullYear();
var time = d.getHours() + ":" + d.getMinutes();
var n = new NoteCrt(input,time,date);
notes.push(n);
Note();
}
function Note(){
var note_d = "<div>";
for (var i = 0 ; i < notes.length ; i++) {
note_d += "<span id='fade' class='note_input'>" + "<div class='flow' ><p>"+notes[i].input+"</p></div></br>" + "</br>" +"Time: "+ notes[i].time + "</br>" +"Date: "+ notes[i].date;
note_d += "</span>";
}
note_d += "</div>";
document.getElementById("note_div").innerHTML = note_d;
notes_j = JSON.stringify(notes, null, " ");
localStorage.setItem("NOTE",notes_j);
notes_p = JSON.parse(notes_j);
console.log(notes_p);
}
What happens is that all the notes that are present are recreated with a fade in effect every time...
Any help?

There's no real need to split this functionality over multiple functions.
All you need to do is create the new note and append it to the DOM, instead of recreating all the HTML every time.
function AddNote (){
var input = document.getElementById("txt").value;
var date = d.getDate() + " " + months[d.getMonth()] + " " + d.getFullYear();
var time = d.getHours() + ":" + d.getMinutes();
var n = new NoteCrt(input,time,date);
notes.push(n);
// store
notes_j = JSON.stringify(notes, null, " ");
localStorage.setItem("NOTE",notes_j);
notes_p = JSON.parse(notes_j);
console.log(notes_p);
// show
for (var i = 0 ; i < notes.length ; i++) {
var new_note = document.createElement("span");
new_note.id="fade"; new_note.class="note_input";
new_note.innerHTML += "<div class='flow' ><p>"+notes[i].input+"</p></div></br>" + "</br>" +"Time: "+ notes[i].time + "</br>" +"Date: "+ notes[i].date;
}
document.getElementById("note_div").appendChild(new_note);
}

function AddNote (){
var input = document.getElementById("txt").value;
var date = d.getDate() + " " + months[d.getMonth()] + " " + d.getFullYear();
var time = d.getHours() + ":" + d.getMinutes();
var n = new NoteCrt(input, time, date);
var notes = JSON.parse(localStorage.getItem("NOTE")) || [];
notes.push(n);
console.log(notes);
localStorage.setItem("NOTE", JSON.stringify(notes, null, " "));
var node_div = document.getElementById("note_div");
var el = document.createElement('span');
el.id = "fade";
el.classList.add('note_input');
el.innerHTML =
"<div class='flow'>" +
"<p>" + n.input + "</p>" +
"</div>" +
"</br>" +
"</br>" +
"Time: " + n.time +
"</br>" +
"Date: " + n.date;
node_div.appendChild(el);
}
You should note that it appears that you are assigning the id fade to multiple spans. If that is the case, you should consider making it a class.

array for loop, looping too many times javascript

Instead of looping through one time to show
id1
id2
id3
it loops through 3 times before stopping. what can i put to make it loop through only once.
html:
<p id="show_me"></p>
<button onclick="ObjectArray()">click me</button>
javascript:
var ObjectArray = function() {
// object literal
var id1 = {
firstName: "John",
lastName: "Doe",
id: "12345"
};
// keyword new
var id2 = new Object;
id2.firstName = "Adam";
id2.lastName = "Bakely";
id2.id = "abcdef";
// object constructor
function employee(first, last, id) {
this.firstName = first;
this.lastName = last;
this.id = id;
}
var id3 = new employee("Dallas", "Star", "abc123");
//create an array
var IdArray = [id1, id2, id3];
//for loop to display results
var text="";
var i;
for (i = 0; i < IdArray.length; i++){
text += IdArray[0].firstName + " " + IdArray[0].lastName + " " + IdArray[0].id + "<br>";
text += IdArray[1].firstName + " " + IdArray[1].lastName + " " + IdArray[1].id + "<br>";
text += IdArray[2].firstName + " " + IdArray[2].lastName + " " + IdArray[2].id + "<br>";
}
document.getElementById("show_me").innerHTML = text;
}

It iterates three times, because you loop for the length of the array, which has 3 items.
If you want to 'iterate' once, you can just omit the for loop:
text += IdArray[0].firstName + " " + IdArray[0].lastName + " " + IdArray[0].id + "<br>";
text += IdArray[1].firstName + " " + IdArray[1].lastName + " " + IdArray[1].id + "<br>";
text += IdArray[2].firstName + " " + IdArray[2].lastName + " " + IdArray[2].id + "<br>";
But I think you actually wanted to do this:
for (i = 0; i < IdArray.length; i++){
text += IdArray[i].firstName + " " + IdArray[i].lastName + " " + IdArray[i].id + "<br>";
}
That way you use the loop what it's for: Iterate over an array of any length and repeat a piece of code for each item in the array.

Remove everything from the for loop, and add this instead:
text += IdArray[i].firstName + " " + IdArray[i].lastName + " " + IdArray[i].id + "<br>";

Every thing is fine ... but please replaced the following code
for (i = 0; i < IdArray.length; i++){
text += IdArray[i].firstName + " " + IdArray[i].lastName + " " + IdArray[i].id + "<br>";
text += IdArray[1].firstName + " " + IdArray[1].lastName + " " + IdArray[1].id + "<br>";
text += IdArray[2].firstName + " " + IdArray[2].lastName + " " + IdArray[2].id + "<br>";
}
with
for (i = 0; i < IdArray.length; i++){
text += IdArray[i].firstName + " " + IdArray[i].lastName + " " + IdArray[i].id + "<br>";
}

How can create toggleable divs using javascript's innerhtml function?

I am trying to import information from an XML file, and create a name which, when clicked, will show more information. This information will be inside a div with no display until the header has been clicked.
This is the idea. Doesn't work.
$(document).ready(function () {
$.ajax({
type: "Get",
dataType: "xml",
url: 'service.xml',
success: function (xml) {
$(xml).find('Service[Name="j1979"]').find("Define").each(function () {
var PID = $(this).attr("PID");
var name = $(this).find("Name").text();
var source = $(this).find("source").text();
var doffset = $(this).find("DOffset").text();
var type = $(this).find("Type").text();
var length = $(this).find("Lenght").text();
var scale = $(this).find("Scale").text();
var noffset = $(this).find("NOffset").text();
var units = $(this).find("Units").text();
var moreinfo = "<div id='moreinfo'>source += '\r\n' += doffset += '\r\n' += type += '\r\n' += length += '\r\n' += scale += '\r\n' += noffset += '\r\n' += units</div>";
document.getElementById("j1979").innerHTML += PID += " ";
document.getElementById("j1979").innerHTML += < p onclick = "document.getElementById('moreinfo').style.display = 'inline-block'" > += "\r\n";
document.getElementById("j1979").innerHTML += moreinfo;
});
}
});
});
Sorry for any obvious mistakes and/or ugly code.

I assume that this is what you want to achieve: DEMO
just assume that the script in the demo is inside the success function
first, you have some error in here
document.getElementById("j1979").innerHTML += < p onclick = "document.getElementById('moreinfo').style.display = 'inline-block'" > += "\r\n";
this will not add the p element to the element with id j1979 because you write it like that, where you should be writing it like this
document.getElementById("j1979").innerHTML += "<p onclick=\"document.getElementById('moreinfo').style.display = 'inline-block';\" ></p>";
note the quotes at start and end, and the closing tag
second, there's no word or anything inside the p element that indicates that you could click it to show more information, so put the PID inside the p like this
document.getElementById("j1979").innerHTML += "<p onclick=\"document.getElementById('moreinfo').style.display = 'inline-block';\">" + PID + "</p>";
here's the full code with some CSS style to hide it before the user click on the PID
$(document).ready(function () {
var PID = "testPID";
var name = "Random Name";
var source = "Google";
var doffset = "1000";
var type = "A-9001";
var length = "50CM";
var scale = "100";
var noffset = "0";
var units = "Some Units";
var moreinfo = "<div id='moreinfo'>source: " + source + "</br>" + "doffset: " + doffset + "</br>" + "type: " + type + "</br>" + "length: " + length + "</br>" + "scale: " + scale + "</br>" + "noffset: " + noffset + "</br>" + "units: " + units + "</div>";
document.getElementById("j1979").innerHTML += "<p onclick=\"document.getElementById('moreinfo').style.display = 'inline-block';\">" + PID + "</p>";
document.getElementById("j1979").innerHTML += moreinfo;
});
#moreinfo {
display: none;
}
#j1979 {
color: blue;
}
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.10.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div id="j1979"></div>

From the code you have, you can use '+' operator to concatenate strings.
When you need to use single quote inside string defined with single quote, you can use backslash (\) as escape character before it.
Also, you need to hide the div with class "moreinfo" initially.
As for new line, if you want each attribute in new line in moreinfo class, it can be achieved by using HTML "pre" tag or "br" tag or some other way.
So code would be:
var moreinfo = "<pre id='moreinfo' style='display:none'> source = " + source + "\r\n doffset = " + doffset + "\r\n type = " + type + "\r\n length = " + length + "\r\n scale = " + scale + "\r\n noffset = " + noffset + "\r\n units = " + units +"</pre>";
document.getElementById("j1979").innerHTML += '<p onclick="document.getElementById(\'moreinfo\').style.display = \'inline-block\'">\r\n' + PID + "</p>";
document.getElementById("j1979").innerHTML += moreinfo;
or
var moreinfo = "<div id='moreinfo' style='display:none'> source = " + source + "<br> doffset = " + doffset + "<br> type = " + type + "<br> length = " + length + "<br> scale = " + scale + "<br> noffset = " + noffset + "<br> units = " + units +"</div>";
document.getElementById("j1979").innerHTML += '<p onclick="document.getElementById(\'moreinfo\').style.display = \'inline-block\'">\r\n' + PID + "</p>";
document.getElementById("j1979").innerHTML += moreinfo;
If you want to toggle display on click, you can use ternary operator to give condition in onclick function:
var moreinfo = "<div id='moreinfo' style='display:none'> source = " + source + "<br> doffset = " + doffset + "<br> type = " + type + "<br> length = " + length + "<br> scale = " + scale + "<br> noffset = " + noffset + "<br> units = " + units +"</div>";
document.getElementById("j1979").innerHTML += '<p onclick="document.getElementById(\'moreinfo\').style.display == \'inline-block\' ? document.getElementById(\'moreinfo\').style.display = \'none\' : document.getElementById(\'moreinfo\').style.display = \'inline-block\'">\r\n' + PID + "</p>";
document.getElementById("j1979").innerHTML += moreinfo;

I wrote a program where I needed to toggle a div with javascript. I found a solution with this code.
function toggle( selector ) {
var nodes = document.querySelectorAll( selector ),
node,
styleProperty = function(a, b) {
return window.getComputedStyle ? window.getComputedStyle(a).getPropertyValue(b) : a.currentStyle[b];
};
[].forEach.call(nodes, function( a, b ) {
node = a;
node.style.display = styleProperty(node, 'display') === 'block' ? 'none' : 'block';
});
You can then call the function with:
toggle('.idOrClass');
make sure you use single quotes around the class or id name
Hope this helps! :)

Set Owner To Current User only when the FormType is Create

So I was asked to create a way to auto set the owner of the Order to the current user and not the default owner of the account that maps over.
Also, I had to make it only run in the instance that the user is Creating an order.
So I started with this:
try{

crmForm.all.ownerid.DataValue = lookupData;
crmForm.all.ownerid.ForceSubmit = true;
}
catch(err){alert("Error on user set.")}
but this runs in every FormType... so I was at a loss for a bit.

Then, In my efforts, of figuring out many ways to achieve this I finally found one that worked and wanted to share.

}
break;

}
I hope this helps. =)
