I need to make a comment mechanism in which user highlights a piece of text, clicks "comment this", and then does something. The Javascript code has to know not only the selected text (this is trivial), but also the anchorOffset, to know exactly from which to which character the text was selected. I've found a cross-browser solution tha...
Googled for a Xml Dom open source library that ships with unit tests, but could not find any. Are there any dom libraries, java or .net that have unit tests? ...
Is there anyway to listen to the onload event for a <link> element? F.ex: var link = document.createElement('link'); link.rel = 'stylesheet'; link.href = 'styles.css'; link.onload = link.onreadystatechange = function(e) { console.log(e); }; This works for <script> elements, but not <link>. Is there another way? I just need to kn...
Hi! I'm trying to build a safari extenstion (mostly for learning purposes) that creates a delicious bookmark, when the user right clicks on a link. I've watched the WWDC Creating a Safari Extension video and everything is working fine. Except that i don't have a clue how to find out if the user clicked on a link (or just some text) an...

Hi, I am getting a JSON object from a webMethod by the call below and I set some textBox values based on the returned objects attributes. Problem is, just for a moment my textBoxes are populated but then immidiately they return back to empty. Do I make a mistake or I cannot make DOM elements modifications within a success function? T...

I am working with jQuery UI Sortable plugin, and applying it to a table. How would I trigger a function when dropping whatever element I am dragging? Something similar to below: alert($(this).attr('id')); Full Solution For this, you have to set the container id's to something_number (something_1, something_2, etc). $(function(){ ...
Is there a site anywhere that documents all standard JavaScript DOM methods, events and properties and when they were introduced into the various browsers? I've used W3Schools' XML DOM Object Reference, but it's badly dated, it only tracks IE, Firefox, Opera and W3C, it's missing heaps of newer 'standard' methods, plus I'm certain I ran ...
When creating a DOMDocument with DOMImplementation::createDocument(), you can specify a doctype as the third argument in the constructor. This doctype then gets "tied" to the document and you can retrieve it later with $document->doctype. However, this is a read-only attribute (unlike encoding and version!). Is there any way to change...
Hi everybody, I've been trying to combine two XML documents like this: $def = new DOMDocument( '1.0' ); $rdef = new DOMDocument( '1.0' ); $def->load( $path ); $rdef->loadXML( $info ); $r = $def->getElementsByTagName( 'repository' )->item( 0 ); $s = $rdef->getElementsByTagName( 'repository' )->item( 0 ); try { $r->appendChild( $s );...

I'm working on the comments section of a WP theme, and the styling requires the use of some clever jQuery in order to make it work right... However, when trying to style admin comments in a long nested UL, I'm having trouble traversing the DOM with jQuery to find the elements I need to adjust the CSS for... Here's what I've tried using:...
JavaScript lets you add arbitrary properties and methods to any object, including DOM nodes. Assuming the property was well namespaced (something like _myLib_propertyName) so that it would be unlikely to create a conflict, are there any good reasons not to stash data in DOM nodes? Are there any good use cases for doing so? I imagine do...
Trying to do a basic XML retrieval. The code works as expected in Firefox and Opera, meaning it alerts with the text value of the "title" node from the XML document. But in IE7, I am getting "object required" from this line. x=xhttp.responseXML.getElementsByTagName("title")[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue; alert(x); Btw, it was wor...
Are the values returned by Javascript's getElementsByName(...) guaranteed to be in the same order that they appear in the DOM? ...
I am currently battling an IE JavaScript/DOM bug (what fun) and it has truly stumped me. The code in question copies some checkboxes into a form and needs to maintain their checked state. Problem is, IE (specifically IE8, though I'm guessing others as well) doesn't want to do that. I've narrowed down the bug itself to a very small tes...
I'd like to create an event loop mechanism in JavaScript/DOM using only dispatchEvent calls. For example: document.addEventListener("LoopingEvent", loop, true); var loop = function() { doSomeWork(); updateUI(); document.dispatchEvent(loopEvent); }; var loopEvent = document.createEvent('Events'); loopEvent.initEvent("Loopin...
I've noticed that $(document).ready(..) causes a noticable delay in applying javascript effects. However I also understand that just having the effect in a <script> can not always work because the DOM may not be ready. When should you always put your code in $(document).ready and when is it ok to bring it out into a global <script> tag...
Hi, Is there a way to convert HTML like: <div> <a href="#"></a> <span></span> </div> or any other HTML string into DOM element? (So that I could use appendChild()). I know that I can do .innerHTML and .innerText, but that is not what I want -- I literally want to be capable of converting a dynamic HTML string into a DOM element so th...
