I am creating a website, I am using a NodeJS server. In my public folder I have a script named website.js and it has the jQuery code to give a console.log when the h1 is clicked. (Code Below). But when I click on the h1 in the browser it does not work. The file is loaded properly, gives no 404 error and my CSS stylesheet works fine.
Further Testing: I did a simple test to see if it would give back the text when I called the variable (test code below) it responds with: "" (two quotation marks) so it must not be recognizing it.
//Test code
var xyz = $("#testh1").text();
//jQuery Code
$("#testh1").on("click", function(){
console.log("Clicked");
});

You need to load jQuery before your script.
<script src="https://path-to-jquery"></script>
<script src="/javascripts/website.js"></script>
You need to wait for the DOM to be ready before accessing any elements in it. You can either do it with the following code:
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#testh1").on("click", function(){
console.log("Clicked");
});
});
or by putting your <script>s at the bottom of the <body> instead of in the <head>.
<script src="https://path-to-jquery"></script>
<script src="/javascripts/website.js"></script>
</body>
You're getting an empty string in your test code because your #testh1 element hasn't been loaded yet.

I am new at JS and never tried Handlebars before. I'm trying a very bare-bones example from a tutorial. I have downloaded handlebars-v4.0.5.js from the Handlebars website and included it in my page, as follows, along with a template I precompiled, name-table.js. I'm trying my god damned hardest to complete this tutorial but I can't, because when I run the following code, I get ReferenceError: Handlebars is not defined which I can't for the life of me understand, if the file I downloaded from Handebars' own site is in any way valid.
<html>
<head>
<meta charset='UTF-8'>
<title>Test Page!</title>
<script type='text/javascript'>
function init() {
document.getElementById('button').addEventListener('click', buttonClick, false);
}
function buttonClick() {
var injection = Handlebars.templates['name-table'];
document.getElementById('button').innerHTML = injection;
console.log('hello, world.');
}
window.addEventListener('load', init, false);
</script>
</head>
<body>
<button id='button'>Button</button>
<div id='content'></div>
<script type='text/javascript' rel='js/handlebars-v4.0.5.js'></script>
<script type='text/javascript' rel='js/name-table.js'></script>
</body>
</html>
Edit:
The answer I marked solved the problem. Another error appears in this code, and I want to let anyone reading this know that var injection as defined in this code is a function, not a string as I had thought. This code will work if rel is changed to src as in the answer given, and if we use document.getElementById('button').innerHTML = injection(); (note the parens).
You are not loading in Handlebars (or your name-table script). You currently have the following markup:
<script type='text/javascript' rel='js/handlebars-v4.0.5.js'></script>
<script type='text/javascript' rel='js/name-table.js'></script>
You should be using the src attribute instead of the rel attribute for script tags.
<script type='text/javascript' src='js/handlebars-v4.0.5.js'></script>
<script type='text/javascript' src='js/name-table.js'></script>
The Mozilla documentation does not specify the rel attribute as a valid script tag attribute.
Include this line:
<script src="https://twitter.github.io/typeahead.js/js/handlebars.js"></script>
You are done.
Thanks.
I'm trying to use an external JavaScript file in order to write "Hello World" into a HTML page.
However for some reason it does not work, I tried the same function and commands inline and it worked, but not when it's using an external JavaScript file. The part I commented out in the JS file was the previous method I was trying to use. Those lines of could worked when I ran the script from the header, and inline. Thanks
Html file:
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<p id="external">
<script type="text/javascript" src="hello.js">
externalFunction();
</script>
</p>
<script type="txt/javascript" src="hello.js"></script>
</body>
</html>
JavaScript file
function externalFunction()
{
var t2 = document.getElementById("external");
t2.innerHTML = "Hello World!!!"
/*document.getElementById("external").innerHTML =
"Hello World!!!";*/
}
In general, you want to place your JavaScript at the bottom of the page because it will normally reduce the display time of your page. You can find libraries imported in the header sometimes, but either way you need to declare your functions before you use them.
http://www.w3schools.com/js/js_whereto.asp
index.html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<!-- You could put this here and it would still work -->
<!-- But it is good practice to put it at the bottom -->
<!--<script src="hello.js"></script>-->
</head>
<body>
<p id="external">Hi</p>
<!-- This first -->
<script src="hello.js"></script>
<!-- Then you can call it -->
<script type="text/javascript">
externalFunction();
</script>
</body>
</html>
hello.js
function externalFunction() {
document.getElementById("external").innerHTML = "Hello World!!!";
}
Plunker here.
Hope this helps.
Script tags with SRC values do not run the contents. Split it to two script tags. One for the include, one for the function call. And make sure the include is before the call.
use onload eventListener to make it simple
<script>
window.onload = function() {
externalFunction();
}
</script>
You're trying to call the function before it has been loaded.
Place the load script above the declaration:
<html>
<head>
<script type="txt/javascript" src="hello.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<p id="external">
<script type="text/javascript">
externalFunction();
</script>
</p>
</body>
</html>
Also you have a typo:
<script type="txt/javascript" src="hello.js"></script>
Should be:
<script type="text/javascript" src="hello.js"></script>
The script type needs to be "text/javascript" not "txt/javascript".
I have an HTML page that calls a JS file. Within that JS file I need to know what the URL of the HTML page is.
So far I have this.
HTML -
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled</title>
</head>
<body>
<script src="js/jquery.js"></script>
<script src="js/main.js"></script>
</body>
</html>
Within my main.js I have the following:
$(function() {
$ = jQuery;
window.remoteUser = "%globals_server_REMOTE_USER%";
window.targetURL = "%globals_asset_url%";
console.log(document.referrer);
});
I thought document.referrer would return the URL of the html page. However it returns a blank line in the console.
Any help would be great. Thanks
Try this,
console.log(document.URL);
OR
console.log(window.location.href);
since i read that it doesn't work in some versions of firefox
location.href used to get url the of page.
jQuery(document).ready(function(){
jQuery("#url1").html(location.href);
});

I have placed one javascript (hide.js) in my html Page ... Hide function is not working .My scripts are in right order
My code is as per tutorial
<!DOCTYPE html >
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8" />
<title>jQuery Example </title>
</head>
<body>
<p id="paragraph ">
This is Paragraph</p>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://localhost/WebApplication2/js/hide.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://localhost/WebApplication2/js/jquery-1.7.1.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://localhost/WebApplication2/js/toggle.js"></script>
</body>
</html>
hide.js
$('#paragraph').click(function () {
$('#paragraph').hide();
});
I have test it with Firebug lite on Chrome .. Console doesnt show any error .. in script is also showing external scripts ...Other script are working fine
I have rearranged script Order like this
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://localhost/WebApplication2/js/jquery-1.7.1.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://localhost/WebApplication2/js/toggle.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://localhost/WebApplication2/js/hide.js"></script>
still it is not working ..
i couldnt find any relevant link ..whats wrong ..Please Suggest
Because, you included hide.js before jquery.js. You should include hide.js after jquery.js like so...
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://localhost/WebApplication2/js/jquery-1.7.1.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://localhost/WebApplication2/js/toggle.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://localhost/WebApplication2/js/hide.js"></script>
In case you must include hide.js first before jquery.js. Change your code to
$( document ).ready(function() {
$('#paragraph').click(function () {
$('#paragraph').hide();
});
}
In this way, your script will work after whole page is loaded.
Or, similarly you can use.
$(function() {
// Your Code
});
order should be, include jquery main file all above.
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://localhost/WebApplication2/js/jquery-1.7.1.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://localhost/WebApplication2/js/hide.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://localhost/WebApplication2/js/toggle.js"></script>
core jQuery file must be include before any other plugin as they may use core jquery methods internally.
You have a space in the id of your paragraph tag, which is invalid, so your javascript cannot select that paragraph using that id.
You need to remove the space from your id attribute.
Order of script - hide.js is using jQuery so it has to be included after jquery.js
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://localhost/WebApplication2/js/jquery-1.7.1.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://localhost/WebApplication2/js/toggle.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://localhost/WebApplication2/js/hide.js"></script>
Your browser console should show you an error saying something like Uncaught ReferenceError: $ is not defined
your id has space.remove it and try again
<p id="paragraph ">This is Paragraph</p>
it should be like this
<p id="paragraph">This is Paragraph</p>
I have discovered a very strange thing which probably could be the cause. It should certainly help you.
In your code, I see you have only external JS files. After those external files, include an empty tag. It should work.
Cause is not known but external JS does not get included at times if you do not have inline or empty script tag. It will be very interesting to dig in more. Let me update once I figure out.

I'm trying JQUERY on my machine, but for some reason, nothing seems to work. Here's the test file:
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/css" src="jquery.js">
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$("p").mouseover(function () {
$(this).css("color","black");
});
$(document).ready(function(){
$("body").css("background-color","black");
$("body").css("color","white");
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<h1>This is a test</h1>
<p>Roll over me!</p>
</body>
</html>
Nothing in there works. Also, if anybody wants to know, accessing through my domain and through the local both don't work. I'm really confused, because I copied most of that code off the internet, just in case there was something wrong with my typing.
For some reason, firefox is throwing this error:
Code: Evaluate
$ is not defined
http://hussain.mooo.com/jq.html
Line: 6
$ is not defined
http://hussain.mooo.com/jq.html
Line: 6
New code (moved the p onmouseover handeler)
<script src="jquery.js" type="text/css">
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
$("p").mouseover(function () {
$(this).css("color","black");
});
$("body").css("background-color","black");
$("body").css("color","white");
});
</script>
Specify correct type for javascript file:
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.js"></script>
Update
You're currently using type="text/css" as content type for javascript file which is incorrect. Try to copy above code into your script.

removed dead ImageShack link
Install firebug and see what it tells you in the Console tab.
You should move the attachment of the mouseover handler into $(document).ready(...) because the paragraph won't necessarily exist until the document is ready and so no handler can be attached to it.
Download the latest version of jQuery "jquery-1.3.2.min.js" and link the file correctly. and try this,
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function(){
$("p").mouseover(function () {
$(this).css("color","black");
});
$("body").css("background-color","black");
$("body").css("color","white");
});
</script>
