Why JQuery with SetInterval won't work on Firefox? - html

I am trying to learn JQuery running sample codes dealing with SetInterval or Settimeout I find on the Internet, but they won't run or work. For instance, I have the following simple code, but it won't run or even give me error message.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>testing</title>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
setInterval(function() {
var number = 1 + Math.floor(Math.random() * 333);
$('#here').load(number);
},
1000);
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="here">dynamic content ?</div>
</body>
</html>

You first missed to add jquery library and second you should use .text() function rather than .load() function.
.load() function should use for ajax method.
One of the essential rules that should keep in mind that always put javascript code at the end of the page and before the end of the body tag
$(document).ready(function() {
setInterval(function() {
var number = 1 + Math.floor(Math.random() * 333);
$('#here').text(number);
}, 1000);
});
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>testing</title>
</head>
<body>
<div id="here">dynamic content ?</div>
</body>
</html>

Calling for multiple onclick functions?

I have been looking for a solution for this for a long time and I just could not find what I was looking for. I have made a code that is an automatic traffic light and it loops through. How can I change it so when I click it goes through the sequence and stops when it gets back to Red?
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Demo</title>
</head>
<body onload="startTime();">
<img id="img1" />
<script>
var imgArray = new Array("Red.jpg","RedA.jpg","Green.jpg","Amber.jpg");
var imgCount = 0;
function startTime() {
if(imgCount == imgArray.length) {
imgCount = 0;
}
document.getElementById("img1").src = imgArray[imgCount];
imgCount++;
setTimeout("startTime()", 1000);
}
</script>
</body>
</body>
</html>
You just need to change setTimeout function syntax.
setTimeout(function(){
startTime();
},1000);

HTML File including another HTML file

I created a web page wherein I want to display there another HTML file. I used jQuery to do this but wasn't able to display the content of the file I have included. Why do you think this happened. Thanks a lot.
Here's my code for my mainpage.
sample.html
<html>
<head>
<title> Sample Only </title>
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.1.0/jquery.js"></script>
<script>
$(function(){
$('#footerLang').load("sampleFooter.html");
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="footerLang">
<h1></h1>
</div>
</body>
</html>
sampleFooter.html
<p> THIS IS A FOOTER </p>
It is highly possibly because you are placing the following block in head without $(document).on("ready", function() { ...; });
$(function(){
$('#footerLang').load("sampleFooter.html");
});
In this case jQuery will unable to find the #footerLang element since the DOM is not ready, you could revise the script as follow
$(function(){
$(document).on("ready", function () {
$('#footerLang').load("sampleFooter.html");
});
});
or move the script tag just before the </body>
<html>
<head>
<title> Sample Only </title>
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.1.0/jquery.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="footerLang">
<h1></h1>
</div>
<script>
$(function(){
$('#footerLang').load("sampleFooter.html");
});
</script>
</body>
</html>
I found out that this was just a browser compatibility issue. I launch it in Firefox and it worked.

Ajax .load() function not working

.load() only works on files coming from a server, so it will work later as I'm going to put this on a server
Edit: This code works on firefox but not on chrome
I've been trying to use ajax to load a webpage after selecting an option but the script doesn't even seem to load
here's the script + html:
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="DaVinciRace.css" />
<title> Da Vinci Race 2014-2015 </title>
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.2/jquery.min.js" ></script>
</head>
<body style="background:#f2f2f2;">
<div id="logo">
<img src="Resources\DVRLogo.png"/>
<!-- <p class="text">Da Vinci Race</p> -->
</div>
<div id="options" style="background:#0c0c0c; float:right;">
<div class="menu">
<div class="chronometre" ></div>
</div>
</div>
<div id="DVRChrono">
</div>
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#options").on("click", ".chronometre", function() {
$( "#DVRChrono" ).load( "Chronometre.html" );
})
});
</script>
</body>
</html>
the document "Chronometre.html" is in the same folder as this html page
I feel like I'm missing something obvious but can't for the life of me figure out what it is
Try this:
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.2/jquery.min.js" ></script>
<script>
(function($){
$("#options").on("click", ".chronometre", function() {
$( "#DVRChrono" ).load( "Chronometre.html" );
})
})(jQuery)
</script>
This isn't adding a click handler:
$("#options").on("click", ".chronometre", function() {
// code
});
Because it executes before the #options element exists on the page. The code is executing without error, the jQuery selector simply isn't finding anything. So there are no elements to which a handler can be attached.
You can fix this either by moving the code to the end of the page or by wrapping it in the document.ready handler:
$(function() {
$("#options").on("click", ".chronometre", function() {
$( "#DVRChrono" ).load( "Chronometre.html" );
});
});
Additionally, your script tags are broken. Each tag should have either a src or content, but not both. Separate them:
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
// your code
</script>

DOM HTML PARSING

Source.HTML
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<h1 style="color:red">Hello World</h1>
<p id="demo" style="color:red">Click the button below to remove the style attribute from the header above.</p>
</body>
</html>
Parser.html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<button onclick="myFunction()">Parse</button>
<script>
function myFunction()
{
document.getElementsByTagName("H1")[0].removeAttribute("style");
document.getElementsByTagName("P")[0].removeAttribute("style");
};
</script>
</body>
</html>
Now what i need guidance for was , i need the Parse button from parser.html to apply the functions for source.html and save as output.html in same path of source.html...
Kindly help me out ...
What Willshaw said is correct. Javascript don't have that much power to solve your problem. You need to go for some serverside scripting.
I agree with the previous answer, it is a pretty strange way to do.
But, the DOM parsing being really easy with javascript, you could do the parsing on the client side, I guess, and then send the processed html to your backend, and save it in result.html.
I will use Jquery for the example, way easier.
Parser.html
<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>load demo</title>
<style>
<script src="//code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.2.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<button id="btnLoad">Load Source</button>
<button id="btnParse">Parse</button>
<button id="btnSave">Save</button>
<div style="display:none" id="sourceContainer"></div>
<script>
$(document).ready( function() {
$(".btnLoad").click(function(){$("#sourceContainer").load("/source.html");})
$(".btnParse").click(function(){
$(".sourceContainer h1").removeAttr("style");
$(".sourceContainer p").removeAttr("style");
})
$(".btnSave").click(function(){
var data = {
html: $("#sourceContainer").html()
};
//replace first param by the backend url, add callback function
$.post("http://...", data, ...);
})
});
</script>
</body>
</html>

Where does my dynamically added script go?

I'm new to web development and I'm trying to understand how the DOM works.
I have a basic page with 2 buttons and some text. One of the buttons does a call to Jquery's Get function. My server returns some html with some script as well. Which is then added to my DIV on my main page which has an ID of 'content'
See below for the code.
Main Page
<!DOCTYPE html>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/toastr.css">
<html>
<body>
<h1>My Main Page </h1>
<button class="alertmsg">click me</button>
<button class="addDom" >Call Add HTML</button>
<div id="content">
</div>
</body>
</html>
<script src="js/jquery.js"></script>
<script src="js/toastr.js"></script>
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
$(".alertmsg").click(function() {
alert("Hello World!");
});
$(".addDom").click(function(){
$.get( '/adddom',
function (data) {
// put html into the section
$("div#content").html(data);
})
});
});
</script>
Code Returned
<div>
<h1>Added Via $.html</h1>
<button class="showmsg">click me for jquery</button>
</div>
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
$(".showmsg").click(function(){
toastr.warning( "Test Warning", 'Warning');
});
});
</script>
The Updated DOM - notice that my new javascript aren't seen.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/toastr.css">
<html>
<body>
<h1>My Main Page </h1>
<button class="alertmsg">click me</button>
<button class="addDom" >Call Add HTML</button>
<div id="content">
<div>
<h1>Added Via $.html</h1>
<button class="showmsg">click me for jquery</button>
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
<script src="js/jquery.js"></script>
<script src="js/toastr.js"></script>
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
$(".alertmsg").click(function() {
alert("Hello World!");
});
$(".addDom").click(function(){
$.get( '/adddom',
function (data) {
// put html into the section
$("div#content").html(data);
})
});
});
</script>
What I'm trying to understand is;
1) Where does my new script code exist?
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
$(".showmsg").click(function(){
toastr.warning( "Test Warning", 'Warning');
});
});
</script>
is it in memory only and not in the DOM?
2) I can get the warning to show correctly i.e $(".showmsg").click
fires and shows what is expected. So my my script can reference the existing libraries in the DOM which are needed. How does this work?
3) What is the best way to trouble shoot this code if I cannot see it in my browser?
Many thanks!
If you really want to append the script to the dom you need to use appendChild() not .html(). link about appendChild
An example of doing this would be
var script = document.createElement( 'script' );
script.type = 'text/javascript';
script.text = 'alert("test");';
$('div')[0].appendChild(script);
Here is a fiddle showing this.
