I let a user reconfigure the location of a set of rows in a table by giving them ability to move them up and down. The changes are done by swapping nodes in the DOM. After the user has moved rows around, when I do a view source, I see the HTML in the original state (before the user made any changes). Can someone explain why that is? ...
IE7/Windows XP I have a third party component in my page that does a lot of DOM manipulation to adjust itself each time the browser window is resized. Unfortunately I have little control of what it does internally and I have optimized everything else (such as callbacks and event handlers) as much as I can. I can't take the component of...
I'm using mootools to toggle the display (and existence) of two DOM elements in one of my forms. Then, I am using javascript to validate the form to make sure that all of the required fields were filled in. The problem is that the the browser seems to be caching the elements. For example, I have html like this: <input name="inputbox"...
I have some html like this: <div id="1"> <p> Volume = <input type="text" /> <button rel="3.93e-6" class="1" type="button">Check answer</button> </p> <div></div> </div> and some JS like this: $("button").click(function () { var buttonNo = $(this).attr('class'); var correct = Number($(this).attr('rel')); ...

I'm working on some JavaScript that requires a tag that can get focus. I'd like to be able to use a <div /> tag, however <div /> tags can't get focus. It looks like the only elements that can gain focus are <input /> tags and <a /> tags. Is there any other way to allow an element to gain focus that isn't an <input /> or <a /> tag? I ca...
UPDATE: the HTML was not well formed. This was causing the script to appear in inner div. Please ignore the question. IE ver<8 has a known bug (Internet explorer cannot display the page.

Hello, I'm trying to optimize a sortable table I've written. The bottleneck is in the dom manipulation. I'm currently creating new table rows and inserting them every time I sort the table. I'm wondering if I might be able to speed things up by simple rearranging the rows, not recreating the nodes. For this to make a significant differen...
I want to create an XML string in Flex 3 in a similar way to you might approach it in Java. I only want a small piece of XML in the format <slide thumb="http://www.thumbs.com/thumb.jpg" type="static" blah="bleh" /> The only type of code I can find for doing this seems ridiculous.... private function createXML(): void { var xm:XML = <...
I am confused as to when I can use the DOM properties and when I could use the Jquery methods on a Jquery object. Say, I use a selector var $elemSel = $('#myDiv').find('[id *= \'select\']') At this point, $elemSel is a jquery object which I understand to be a wrapper around the array of DOM elements. I could get a reference to the DO...
What happens in jQuery when you remove() an element and append() it elsewhere? It appears that the events are unhooked - as if you were just inserting fresh html (which I guess is what happening). But its also possible my code has a bug in it - so I just wanted to verify this behavior before I continue. If this is the case - are there...

Hi All, I am having some issues with getting the list of parents of an element with jQuery. Perhaps I am missing something, but I have a link inside several nested divs, and am trying to get a list of siblings of the parent's parent. I only seem to be able to go one level up from the link though, so I can't The HTML is as follows: <...
While developing for multiple sets of browsers, what issues have you faced while development due to differences in browser implementation? To start with I am listing some of those which i faced: A text node in Firefox allows only 4K data. So an XML Ajax response gets split up into multiple text child nodes instead of only one node. It...
It's easy to set inline CSS values with javascript. If I want to change the width and I have html like this: <div style="width: 10px"></div> All I need to do is: document.getElementById('id').style.width = value; It will change the inline stylesheet values. Normally this isn't a problem, because the inline style overrides the style...
