I have this piece of Javascript and it just won't work. I allready checked JSlint but that said everything works. Still doesn't work. The javascript is located not in the HTML but is linked in the <head>
note: I am working with a local server, so pageload in instant.
function changeVisibility() {
var a = document.getElementById('invisible');
a.style.display = 'block';
}
var changed = document.getElementById('click1');
changed.onchange = changeVisibility;
This here is the corresponding HTML
<input type="file" name="click[]" size="35" id="click1" />
<div id="invisible" style="display: none;">
<a href="javascript:addFileInput();">Attach another File</a>
</div>
So what happens is I click on the input, select a file and approve. Then then onchange event triggers and the style of my invisible div is set to block.
Problem is, I keep getting this error:
"changed is null: changed.onchange = changeVisibility;"
i don't get it, I seriously don't get what I'm overlooking here.
EDIT: question answered, thank you Mercutio for your help and everyone else too of course. Final code:
function loadEvents() {
var changed = document.getElementById('click1');
var a = document.getElementById('invisible');
document.getElementById('addField').onclick = addFileInput;
changed.onchange = function() {
a.style.display = 'block';
}
}
if (document.getElementById) window.onload = loadEvents;
This here is the corresponding HTML:
<input type="file" name="click[]" size="35" id="click1" />
<div id="invisible" style="display: none;">
<a href="#">Attach another File</a>
</div>
Also, thanks for the link to JSbin, didn't know about that, looks nifty.
