Hi,
Using advice from this newsgroup, I tried this JS to create new DOM
elements on-the-fly
var divSidebarItem =
document.create Element("div");
divSideBarItem. setAttribute("c lass",
"sidebarToD o");
but I get a JS error on the second line "divSideBarItem " is not
defined when I try and invoke the "setAttribu te" method. Is there a
better way to create an element with attributes or is there something
wrong with the above?
Thanks, - Dave 7 11108

divSidebarItem isn't an element/node. you've defined it as a command to

Wath your cases!

No, that is not the error, see my other post.

hmm, good eyes.
is the case change all that is necessary for this to work? Does
"divSideBarItem " become a reference to the created DIV instead of the
command to create the DIV?
thanks...

Another Q, my good man!
Mind:
When setting the CLASS attribute using this method, set the sName to be
"className" , which is the corresponding Dynamic HTML (DHTML) property.
< http://msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/a...thods/setattri
bute.asp>
Try this:
=============== =============== ===
<style type='text/css'>
..sbiStyle {color:red;}
</style>
<div id=d>This is div "d"</div>
<script type='text/javascript'>
var sbi = document.create Element('div');
sbi.setAttribut e('className',' sbiStyle');
var d = document.getEle mentById('d');
document.body.i nsertBefore(sbi , d);
sbi.innerHTML = '<h1>This is the "sbi"</h1>';
</script>

Look carefully, Dave.
divSide b arItem
divSide B arItem
JS is case-sensitive. The B in SideBar is capitalized on the second
line, but not on the first. divSideBarItem is not defined--
divSidebarItem is.

When the call operataor () follows an identifier, javascript will
attempt to execute the object referenced by the identifier. The
return value of executing the function is returned, so:
var aDiv = document.create Element('div');
assigns the result of executing the right hand side to the identifier
on the left. Simply doing:
document.create Element('div');
will create a div and return a reference to it. Since that reference
isn't assigned to anything, the div will immediately become available
for garbage collection and effectively ceases to exist almost from the
instant of its creation.

Hi
I'm making a kind of JavaScript-based library for creating SVG
objects/elements. And I hit the wall...
Every element (rect, circle etc.) can be created using
*.createElement, then *.setAttribute and *.appendChild. Except "image"
element. When 'image' element is created like this, it doesn't display
anything. When I create that element with the same attributes in SVG
code itself, it works perfectly. It works even if I create it with

I have a script that should insert a youtube video into the page. But when I ran it, the video wouldn't show up. (The script inserts a number of things, and the video was the only thing not to appear) So, I open firebug, and check the DOM. It's not in there.
So, I type in "var node = document.createElement("object");" to see what was going on. It then reports node as a function, but it still has all the DOM methods and properties (appendChild,...
