Calling Javascript function within innerHTML

34 New Member
Is there anyway to call a javascript function within an innerHTML call?

example:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. var someelement =  document.createElement("input"); 
  2. var someelement2  =  document.createElement("input"); 
  3.  
  4. function test(str) { var str2 = test.substring(0,4); 
  5.                            return str2; }
  6.  
  7. someelement.ondblclick=function(){ 
  8.        document.getElementById('someelement2').innerHTML='<input id=\'blah\' value=\'test(this.value)\' >';
  9. }
  10.  
  11. \\I think this works if the quotes are escaped properly, but i haven't been \\successful in doing it.
  12.  
  13. someelement.ondblclick=function(){ 
  14.        document.getElementById('someelement2').innerHTML='<input id=\'blah\' value=\' '+test(+' this.value ' +) ' +\' >';
  15. }
  16.  
  17.  
any help will be much appreciated.

Hi:

1st: input element can't use innerHTML.Only div element can use innerHTML.

2st: you create 2 input elements by using javascript,but you didn't add it into document.

I can't understand what you want to do,so tell me what you want,and I can post the code you want.

Thanks for the reply.

I got around this problem by using an invisible input field in the innerHTML

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1.  
  2. document.getElementById(something).innerHTML = data + '<input name=datafield id=datafield value=data class=nosee>';
  3.  
This seems to work for me, so i decided to just go with this method.

I am using remote scripting to call a .NET page within a main page. The child page (child.aspx) returns html that contains dynamically created javascript methods (function test()). The parent page sets a document item's innerHTML property to the result of the child page. This all works fine, except that the parent page also makes a call to the "test()" method that is contained within that innerHTML. The call is made after the...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
