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.

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'm trying to load a .txt file into my simple html page. I'm very noobish and all the code i got is stolen from stackoverflow.
The text file is in the same folder as the html file and contains some text that I'd like to have shown in a div and not just loaded in at the start but dynamically updated (in a 1 sec interval).
The Page that results from the code is just empty.
I am using Chrome 73.
I only use the html file and the txt file. No other files are in the folder.
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
setInterval(read,1000);
function read(){
jQuery.get('file.txt',function(data){$('#container').html(data);});
}
read();
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="container"></div>
</body>
</html>
I don't know what's wrong with this code. Am I missing libraries? If you came up with a completely new code that would be appreciated as well.
Yes, you are missing the jQuery library. Try it like this and let me know:
<html>
<head>
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.2.4/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
function read(){
jQuery.get('file.txt',function(data){$('#container').html(data);});
setTimeout(function(){read() },1000);
}
read();
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="container"></div>
</body>
</html>

See note in italics at very bottom of this article
what about a simple jQuery Load ?
$("#container").load("file.txt");
http://api.jquery.com/load/
I have two html file
a.html
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="content">
hello every one
</div>
</body>
</html>
and another page
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="result">
</div>
<iframe id="ifr" src="http://example.com/a.html">
</iframe>
<script type="text/javascript">
divv = $('#ifr').contents().find('div#content').clone();
$('#result').html(divv.html());
</script>
</body>
</html>
In second one I try to get first html and get contet div in it.after that I put this value to result div .
but It's not work. How can I do that.
You do not need to use an iframe; you can use ajax to do that. It's very straight forward.
$(function() {
$('#result').load('a.html #content',function()
$(this).html( $('#content').html() );
});
});
EDIT
As evident from comments below, scope of question has changed. The two pages are on different domains without CORS. Therefore the above answer would not work.
In order to use ajax, you may want to create a server-side script to act as a proxy. Then you'll call that script on your server and it will fetch the a.html page for you.
I guess that could be the right way.
var ifr = document.querySelector('#ifr');
var html = ifr.contentDocument.querySelector('div#content').innerHTML;
$('#result').html(html);
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.
Environment: Chrome latest Version 44.0.2403.130 m
I am learning Javascript and I am trying to learn some pretty basic stuff. Basically I have some text in a <p> tag which I want to append to a variable. However it is not working an I'm not sure why. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery.js"> </script>
<script type="text/javascript">
var x = $('p').html();
document.write(x);
</script>
</head>
<body>
<p class="first">Hello World </p>
</body>
</html>
Wrap your code in $.ready handler:
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function(){
var x = $('p').html();
document.write(x);
});
</script>
The ready handler fires after DOM has loaded and parsed meaning only then you can maipulate tags (or DOM).
You are running your script before The <p class="first">Hello World</p> is reached in your HTML. Put your script in the body instead just after the <p> tag:
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery.js"> </script>
</head>
<body>
<p class="first">Hello World</p>
<script type="text/javascript">
var x = $('p').html();
document.write(x);
</script>
</body>
</html>
You can also use jQuery's ready function like some others have said, but that's an inefficient solution since you already know at which point in the document the <p> tag is loaded. It's much better to run your script as soon as it's loaded then to wait for the whole document to load using $.ready.
I can't see anything what isn't working (example)
maybe you should write
jQuery(document).ready(function($){
//your javascript code
})
but if it doesn't work with that either I should remind you that document.write normally replaces the content
I am trying to access a JavaScript function in a programatically created iFrame from a JavaScript function outside. I tried several ways, but was not successful. L ike window.frames['frameid'], etc.
Could you please provide me the correct syntax?
Yes, they are in the same domain. Actually, I am using ExtJS framework. I have a JSP inside an iFrame, I would like to call the javascript functions in the JSP from the a javascript function outside which is basically in a JS file.
Here's a more appropriate example based on your comments ;)
The main page
<html>
<head>
<title>Main Page</title>
</head>
<body>
<iframe src="iframe.html"></iframe>
<script>
var receiver = {
listen:function(msg){
alert(msg);
}
};
</script>
</body>
</html>
The iframe page: iframe.html, but can be a JSP with similar output
<html>
<head>
<title>iframe page</title>
<script src="external.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<!-- some content here -->
<script>
externalFunction('hello', window);
</script>
</body>
</html>
And the JS file: external.js
function externalFunction(msg, w){
w.parent.receiver.listen(msg);
}
Place those 3 files in the same directory and open the main page.
You should get a popup with "hello".
