i have a String in html which should is post loaded in body.
var str = new String("<span>Hello</span><script>window.alert('hello');</script>");
document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0].innerHTML=str;
but the alert does not come. so i added this:
for(i=0;scr=document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0].getElementsByTagName('script')[i];i++) {
eval(src.innerHTML);
};
but even it doesn't work. can u solve my problem?
document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0].innerHTML="<span>Hello</span><script>window.alert('hello');<\/script>";
var alert_func = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0].innerHTML
if(alert_func.indexOf("alert") != -1) {
eval(alert_func);
}
This code will first set the innerHTML of the <body> tags to <span>Hello</span><script>window.alert('hello');</script>. Then a variable alert_func will store the content between the <script> tags. If there is the word "alert" in alert_func, we will evaluate whatever is between the <script> tags and give the alert.

I have the following code that I use to retrieve the hostname of a server and append some text (a filename) to it and display it on an html page.
<script type="text/javascript">
function getBaseUrl() {
var re = new RegExp(/^.*\//);
}
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
document.write(getBaseUrl() + "filename.ext");
</script>
That generates a server URL such as https://fqdn/folder/filename.ext which is exactly what I need. Everything I have tried to create a link from it breaks things. How do I make that generated text clickable?
It's pretty straight forward to do -
const link = getBaseUrl()+ "filename.ext";
createLinkNode(link, document.body);
// defining a function to create a link node, however this isn't neccessary,
// you could just hard code the logic above.
// I wouldn't recommend setting innerHtml in lieu of making a text node however.
function createLinkNode(url, parent) {
const linkTextNode = document.createTextNode(url);
const linkNode = document.createElement('a');
linkNode.href = url;
linkNode.appendChild(linkTextNode);
parent.appendChild(linkNode);
}
example: https://jsfiddle.net/f4wxvLky/3/
You'd need to wrap it in an <a href=''></a>. This is easiest if you assign the <a> element in question to a variable, as you can then use .href to modify the link, along with .innerHTML to modify the text:
function getBaseUrl() {
return 'http://www.google.com/';
}
const output = document.getElementById('output');
output.innerHTML = 'Link Title';
output.href = getBaseUrl() + "filename.ext";
<a id="output" href=""></a>
If you don't have access to the HTML, this can still be done with raw JavaScript by simply including the <a href=''></a> wrapper in your output, being careful to also output the single quotes:
function getBaseUrl() {
return 'http://www.google.com/';
}
document.write("<a href='" + getBaseUrl() + "filename.ext" + "'>Link Title</a>");
Try this out, I assume getBaseUrl() is working although this doesn't look like. Just a reminder that <a> tag needs to be under the <script> block
<script>
function getBaseUrl() {
var re = new RegExp(/^.*\//);
}
</script>

You are using typographical quotes - change these to regular quotes. (single and double)
Ok, you've got a whole lot of invalid code (HTML and JavaScript) here:
<!DoctypeHTML>
Should be (case doesn't matter):
<!DOCTYPE html>
This:
<script type = “text/javascript”>
contains typographically formatted quotes instead of non-formatted quotes, which is a problem, but you don't even need the type=text/javascript anyway, so you can just write:
<script>
function is not an HTML tag, so this:
<function substitute () {
should be:
function substitute() {
Next, you are using formatted quotes in your JavaScript:
var MyValue = document.getElementID (‘mytextbox’).value;
which should be unformatted, like this:
var MyValue = document.getElementID ('mytextbox').value;
HTML isn't case-sensitive, but JavaScript is, so this:
If (myValue ==0) {
needs to be this:
if (myValue == 0)
More quote problems here:
alert(‘please enter a real value in the box’);
Should be:
alert('please enter a real value in the box');
More case-sensitivity issues here:
Return;
Should be:
return;
More quote and case-sensitivity issues here:
Var myTitle = document.getElementbyID (‘title’)
Should be:
var myTitle = document.getElementbyID ('title');
Lastly, when your script is finished and it's time to return to HTML, you didn't close your script, so this:
}
</head>
Should be:
}
</script>
</head>
You can always validate your HTML at: http://validator.w3.org
And, you can validate your JavaScript at: http://www.jslint.com
You also have invalid JavaScript so this should be valid.

myTitle.innerHTML = myValue;

you have an extra < in your code. but you need to revisit your javascript as it has many problems the script tag is not closed.

Lots of basic syntax errors here.
<!DoctypeHTML> should be <!DOCTYPE html>
the first error you listed, (Bad value “text/javascript” for attribute type on element script: Expected a token character but saw “ instead.) is due to a funky double quote character: “ It should be " This probably originated from your text editor. What are you using? I like Sublime, but there are lots of options. The important thing is that you use a text editor designed for coding.
the next two errors are due to your script tag not being closed. Just add </script> at the end of the script.
Like I said, these are just simple syntax errors though. What you really need to learn here is how to look at those error messages and tell what's going on. Notice how the error messages reference a line number and column number? That's to tell you where the problem is. (Sometimes it can be off depending on the error, but worry about that later). Take a look at the line it's complaining about, read the error message, and you should be able to figure out what's wrong.
Close your <script> tag.
Remove < from <function
Use regular quotes instead of typographical
space between Doctype and html ie. <!doctype html>
Lastly, keywords should be all smallcase ie. if, return, var

I've stated previously that I am very new to JavaScript and HTML. I'm creating a small search tool and I'm very confused as to how to get text from a URL and put it in my JS array.
For example, let's say the URL is: http://www.somethingrandom.com/poop
In that URL, there's a couple of words: "something", "everything", "nothing"
Literally just that. It's in a pre tag in HTML, and that's it.
Now, my JS code, I want it to open up that URL, and take those words and place them in a string/list/array, whatever, it could be anything as long as it can happen, I can manipulate it further later.
I have this so far:
<html>
<head>
<script type = "text/javascript">
function getWords(){
var url = "http://www.somethingrandom.com/poop"
var win = window.open( url );
window.onload = function(){
var list = document.getElementsByTagName("pre")[0].innerHTML;
var listLength = list.length;
alert( listLength);
}
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<button id="1" onClick="getWords();">Click Here</button>
</body>
</html>
It doesn't work however.. And I'm not sure why. :( Please help.
Make an AJAX request and you will have access to the returned content.
Using jQuery:
function getWords(){
var url = "http://www.somethingrandom.com/poop"
$.get(url, function(data) {
var list = $('pre:eq(0)', data).html;
var listLength = list.length;
alert( listLength);
}, 'html');
}
I am passing div name in the query string from one html page and retrieving that div name on the other html page. Now I want to display that specific div on the page.My code is
function onLoad()
{
var divname=window.location.search.substring(1);
document.getElementById(divname).style.display="block"; //error is in this line
}
But I am getting an error as "object expected". please help me
The window.location.search property returns the part of the URL that follows the ? symbol, including the ? symbol.
So for example it might return ?paramname=paramvalue. When you call substring(1) on it you get paramname=paramvalue which is what gets passed to the document.getElementById function which obviously is wrong because such element does doesn't exist on your DOM.
You could use the following javascript function to read query string parameter values:
function onLoad() {
var divname = getParameterByName('divname');
document.getElementById(divname).style.display = 'block';
}
This assumes that you have a query string parameter name called divname:
?divname=some_div_name
Adjust the parameter passed to the getParameterByName function if your query string parameter is called differently.
You might also want to introduce error checking into your code to make it more robust:
function onLoad() {
var divname = getParameterByName('divname');
var divElement = document.getElementById(divname);
if (divElement != null) {
divElement.style.display = 'block';
} else {
alert('Unable to find an element with name = ' + divname);
}
}
What I am suggesting is place your js at the end of the html code (before </body> tag). Do not use a function.
<html>
...
...
...
<body>
...
...
...
<script>
var divname=window.location.search.substring(1);
document.getElementById(divname).style.display="block";
</script>
</body>
</html>
I have re-written my function and it is working, code is like this
function load()
{
var divname = window.location.search.substring(1);
var params=divname.split('=');
var i=1;
alert(params[i].substring(0));
document.getElementById(params[i].substring(0)).style.display='block';
}
I am designing a webpage that loads images of a document into the webpage and then will relocate to a specific image (page) based on a variable passed from another page. The code is below. Right now, it does not look like the variable 'page' is being updated. The page will alert
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>TEST</title>
<!-- Javascripts -->
<script type="text/javascript">
var pageCount = 40; /*Total number of pages */
var p; /*Variable passed to go to a specific page*/
function pageLoad(){ /*Loads in the pages as images */
for( i = 1; i<= pageCount; i++){
if(i < 10){
i = "0"+i;
}
document.body.innerHTML += "<div class='page'><a id='page" + i +"'><img src='pages/PI_Page_"+ i +".png' /></a></div>";
if( i == pageCount){
gotoPage(p);
}
}
}
function gotoPage(pageNum){ /* Moves webpage to target page of the PI */
window.location = ("#page" + pageNum);
alert(p);
}
function Test(){
window.open("./PI.html?p=15","new_pop");
}
</script>
</head>
<body onload="pageLoad()">
<div class="ExtBtn" onClick="Test()">
<img alt="Exit" src="design/exit_btn-02.png" />
</div>
</body>
</html>
The function TEST() was set up to allow me to have a link to re-open the page with p set to 15. The page opens, however, the function gotoPage() still alerts that p is undefined. Any ideas why that is?
Variables passed in the URL do not automatically become variables in JavaScript. You need to parse document.location and extract the value yourself.
p is never set a value anywhere so of course it will be undefined. You need to pull the value from the query string manually, JavaScript does not magically get the query string value for you.
Use the function here: How can I get query string values in JavaScript? to get the value.
Also why are you checking for the last index, set the go to call after the for loop.
Here is your code with the correct alert(p) working:
http://js.do/rsiqueira/read-param?p=15
I added a "function get_url_param" to parse url and read the value of "?p=15".
