Difficulty Using JavaScript Highlight Plugin - javascript

I'm trying to use a plugin called mark.js (https://markjs.io/). From my perspective I'm doing everything they say to, but the Chrome console keeps returning the error:
My html code is as follows:
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/mark.js/7.0.0/mark.min.js"></script>
<script src="highlighter.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<p>hello i am rob</p>
</body>
</html>
My javascript code, in a file called "highlighter.js", is as follows:
var context = document.querySelector(".context");
var instance = new Mark(context);
instance.mark("rob");
A screenshot from the plugin website:
I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Thanks for the help!

You have to have a class name of .context in order for it to recognise that as the context.
var context = document.querySelector(".context"); // <p> tag class name
var instance = new Mark(context);
instance.mark("rob");
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/mark.js/7.0.0/mark.min.js"></script>
<!-- notice the class="context" on the paragraph tag -->
<p class="context">hello i am rob</p>

To mark the entire document you could do something like this:
var context = document.querySelector("body");
var instance = new Mark(context);
var paragraph = document.getElementsByTagName("p")[0].innerHTML;
instance.mark(paragraph);
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/mark.js/7.0.0/mark.min.js"></script>
<body>
<p>and it was all yellow</p>
</body>

Emailjs - emailjs-mime-parser Example

I'm trying to read MIME text with http://emailjs.org/ but I get the javascript error 'MimeParser is not defined'
<html>
<head>
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.12.4/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="js/vendor/emailjs/emailjs-mime-codec.js"></script>
<script src="js/vendor/emailjs/emailjs-addressparser.js"></script>

<body>
</body>
<script>
$(function(){
var p = new MimeParser();
});
</script>
The JavaScript files are loading properly.
What am I doing wrong? Thanks.
Try
var parser = new this['emailjs-mime-parser'];
You are missing one java script emailjs-stringencoding.js
Try to include in below order
emailjs-addressparser.js
emailjs-stringencoding.js
emailjs-mime-codec.js
emailjs-mime-parser.js
jquery.min.js
You can create an object using below syntax
var parser = new this['emailjs-mime-parser'];

Calling .jSignature() on div doesn't update the div

I got this code from the GitHub:
<script src="path/to/jSignature.min.js"></script>
<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#signature").jSignature()
})
</script>
<div id="signature"></div>
But it doesn't pull anything up on the actual webpage. I would think there is more code required but I don't know where to start.
Here is a minimal working example
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<lang>
<title>Minimal working jSignature Example</title>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<!-- Files from the origin -->
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://willowsystems.github.io/jSignature/js/libs/jSignature.min.js"></script>
<head>
<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
// Initialize jSignature
$("#signature").jSignature();
})
// ripped from the description at their the Github page
function getBase64Sig(){
// get the element where the signature have been put
var $sigdiv = $("#signature");
// get a base64 URL for a SVG picture
var data = $sigdiv.jSignature("getData", "svgbase64");
// build the image...
var i = new Image();
i.src = "data:" + data[0] + "," + data[1];
// and put it somewhere where the sun shines brightly upon it.
$(i).appendTo($("#output"));
}
</script>
<body>
Put your signature here:
<div id="signature"></div>
<button onclick="getBase64Sig()">Get Base64</button>
<div id="output"></div>
</body>
</html>
I hope you can go on from here.
It is really as simple as they describe it to be, only their description of the actual example is a bit lacking for beginners.

How to create an element in JavaScript, under a specific HTML tag

I want to create a paragraph element from JavaScript, but I want it to be placed under a certain tag in HTML. How would I do this?
Try with this.
var element = document.createElement("p"); //div,span,h1
element.appendChild(document.createTextNode('the text you want if you want'));
document.getElementById('theElementToAppend').appendChild(element);
<html>
<head>
<title>appendChild() Example</title>
<script type="text/javascript">
function appendMessage() {
var oNewP = document.createElement("p");
var oText = document.createTextNode("www.java2s.com");
oNewP.appendChild(oText);
document.body.appendChild(oNewP);
}
</script>
</head>
<body onload="appendMessage()">
</body>
</html>

Issue with getElementById

I have written the following code to display an input with Javascript's alert( ... ) function.
My aim is to take a URL as input and open it in a new window. I concatenate it with 'http://' and then execute window.open().
However, I just get 'http://' in the URL name, even after concatenation, and not the complete URL. How can I fix this?
<html>
<head>
<meta content="text/html;charset=utf-8" http-equiv="Content-Type">
<meta content="utf-8" http-equiv="encoding">
<body onload="onload();">
<input type="text" name="enter" value="" id="url_id">
<input type="button" value="Submit" onclick="func();">
</body>
<script type="text/javascript">
var url;
function onload() {
url = document.getElementById("url_id").value;
}
function func(){
var var1 = "http://";
var var2 = url;
var res = var1.concat(var2);
alert(var2);
//window.open(res);
}
</script>
</head>
</html>
You shouldn't be calling it in onload(), only after the user has entered the url into the input field. Of course its an empty string, because you assign url to the value of #url_id before the user has a chance to enter anything when you place it in onload().
function func(){
var var1 = "http://";
url = document.getElementById("url_id").value;
var var2 = url;
var res = var1.concat(var2);
alert(var2);
//window.open(res);
}
Others have given solutions, and you already have accepted one. But none of them have told you what is wrong with your code.
Fristly, you have a body element inside your head element. This is invalid markup. Please correct it:
<html>
<head>
<!-- this is a script -->
<script type="text/javascript">
// javascript code
</script>
</head>
<body>
<!-- this is an inline script -->
<script type="text/javascript">
// javascript code
</script>
</body>
</html>
Secondly, you need to have an idea about the execution order of JavaScript inside browser windows. Consider this example:
<html>
<body onload="alert('onload')">
<p>Lorem Ipsum</p>
<script type="text/javascript" >
alert('inline');
</script>
</body>
</html>
Which alert do you thing will get executed first? See the JSFiddle.
So as you can see, inline JavaScript will be executed first, and then the browser will call whatever code is in <body onload=.
Also, onload function is called immediately after the page is loaded. And user has not entered anything when the function is executed. That is why you get null for url.
function func()
var url = document.getElementById("url_id").value;
var fullUrl = "http://".concat(url);
alert(fullUrl);
// or window.open(fullUrl);
}
You're not concatenating with a String but with an Object. Specifically an HTMLInputElement object.
If you want the url from the text input, you need to concatenate with url.value.
if its not concatenating, use:
var res = val1+val2.value;

Concatenate Strings in JavaScript

I Have edited the code, the updated code is below, This code is not able to fetch the keywords meta tag, hence it is not working.
old description: I am trying to concatinate the strings to get the finalUrl, but I am not able to do so becuase of the tags variable. I need to fetch the keywords meta tag of the page and append it to get the finalUrl. Any help?
<script type="text/javascript">
var tags=$('meta[name=keywords]').attr("content");
var gameurl = "http://xyz/abc/details/";
var jsn = ".json?callback=showGameDetail";
var finalUrl= gameurl.concat(tags).concat(jsn);
function loadJSON(url) {
var headID = document.getElementsByTagName("head")[0];
var newScript = document.createElement('script');
newScript.type = 'text/javascript';
newScript.src = url;
headID.appendChild(newScript);
}
function showGameDetail(feed){
var title = feed.title;
var game_url = feed.pscomurl;
var packart_url = feed.Packart;
$("#bnr-ads-box").html("<img src='"+"http://abc.com/"+packart_url+"'>");
}
loadJSON(finalUrl);
</script>
<div id="bnr-ads-box"></div>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta id="metaK" name="keywords" content="customizable software for QuickBooks, QuickBooks-integrated, Method customization, CRM accounting, Method for QuickBooks, Method CRM, Method blog, Salesforce automation, Method online platform, QuickBooks customization, web-based platform, industry-specific, customer portal, Method Field Services, Method Manufacturing, ERP" />
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.2.min.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<p id="demo">Click the button to join two strings into one new string.</p>
<button onclick="myFunction()">Try it</button>
<script>
function myFunction()
{
var tags=$('meta[name=keywords]').attr("content");
var gameurl = "http://xyz/abc/names/";
var jsn = ".json?callback=showGameDetail";
var finalUrl= gameurl.concat(tags).concat(jsn);
document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML=finalUrl;
}
</script>
</body>
</html>
change this
var tags="$('meta[name=keywords]').attr("content");";
to
var tags=$('meta[name=keywords]').attr("content");
also use this code var finalUrl = gameurl + tags + jsn;
What you need is to escape the double quotes inside your tags variable, like so:
var tags="$('meta[name=keywords]').attr(\"content\");";
Cris' solution is also fine, but in some case you will need to have two sets of double quotes inside a string so you will be forced to do escaping correctly.
FYI: Escaping is the process of having special characters getting generated in a string which would otherwise cause issues, for instance in javascript you can't have newlines in a string, like this:
var mystring = 'on
a different line'; // <- this causes a syntax error
So one would do the following:
var mystring = 'on\na different line';
You forgot to include the jquery
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta name="keywords" content="hello"/>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.2.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
function myFunction()
{
alert("Hello World!");
var tags=$('meta[name=keywords]').attr("content");
var gameurl = "http://xyz/abc/names/";
var jsn = ".json?callback=showGameDetail";
var finalUrl= gameurl.concat(tags).concat(jsn);
alert(finalUrl);
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<button onclick="myFunction()">Try it</button>
</body>
</html>
Tough debatable, you can use an array, which can be concatenated by calling join():
var tags = $('meta[name=keywords]').attr("content");
var data = [
"http://xyz/abc/names/",
encodeURIComponent(tags),
".json?callback=showGameDetail"
].join('');
$("#demo").html(data);
Actually the concat method works on strings too (in chrome at least) but the recommended method is using the plus concatenation string operator
You are however missing some stuff
jQuery library - I assume you want that since you have $(...) in the example
encoding of the string from the keywords - I use encodeURIComponent to handle possible newlines and quotes in the keywords
.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Create a URL from keywords</title>
<meta name="keywords" content="These are tags" />
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.2.min.js"></script>
<script>
function myFunction() {
var tags = $('meta[name=keywords]').attr("content");
var URL ="http://xyz/abc/names/" +
encodeURIComponent(tags) +
".json?callback=showGameDetail";
window.console && console.log(URL);
$("#demo").html(URL);
}
</script>
<body>
<p id="demo">Click the button to join two strings into one new string.</p>
<button onclick="myFunction()">Try it</button>
</body>
</html>
