Cannot modify a table in a self created window

user

I created a window with

var mywindow = window.open( "some/local.html", "mywindow", "width=...,
"height=... ., ..." );

The window shows up. It contains a table.

<table>
<tr>
<td>begin</td>
</tr>
<tr id="here">
<td>end</td>
</tr>
</table>

Trying to modify the table (with the following code) fails using Mozilla
1.5 (IE6 works):

var here = mywindow.docume nt.getElementBy Id( "here );
var tr = mywindow.docume nt.createElemen t( "tr" );
var td = mywindow.docume nt.createElemen t( "td" );

var txt = mywindow.docume nt.createTextNo de( strType );

td.appendChild( txt );
tr.appendChild( td );

here.parentNode .insertBefore( tr, here );

alert( here.parentNode .innerHTML ); show that the new node exists.

But when executing this in Mozilla the new table row is not displayed.

When making dynamic tables, use thead, tbody, and tfoot as appropriate.
It made things easier for me and new scripts that use them are easier to
use with your tables.

<table> <tbody> <tr>
<td>begin</td>
</tr>
<tr id="here">
<td>end</td>
</tr> </tbody> </table>

A script I downloaded had a comment in it about NN/MOZ and visibility
when a table was being sorted dynamically...

// Set the table display style to "none" - necessary for Netscape 6
// browsers.
var oldDsply = tblEl.style.dis play;
tblEl.style.dis play = "none";
....
// Restore the table's display style.
tblEl.style.dis play = oldDsply;

Maybe that will help?

Hi! I am us**@domain.inv alid! Forgot to configure my news settings. Sorry!

I isolated the problem (see sample source code at end).
The funny thing is, that adding a line to the table works now.
But.... if the window is created (first call of test()) then the element
"here" can not be found. This seems to be a timing problem. Window not
completed yet? How can I synchronize this?

Greetings,
dp

-- begin: testwindow.html --

var mywindow = null;
function test() {

if( null == mywindow ) {
mywindow = window.open( "local.html ", "aName",
"width=400, height=400, left=10, top=10, location=false, "
+ "menubar=fa lse, resizable=true, scrollbars=true ,"

I would suggest setTimeout, but if people are using different connection
speeds, this could be variable.

I'd suggest a loop, waiting until mywindow.docume nt is defined (not the
element itself, in case something goes wrong and the page is 404 or
something), but I think in the right situation, something could go very,
very wrong with that and you'd get an infinite loop.

So, my suggestion is a setTimeout at 1 second intervals that checks for
mywindow.docume nt, loops if it isn't defined, but only loops 30 times.
No doc should take more than 30 seconds to load, unless it's the result
of a big DB operation or something.

Perhaps someone knows how to make it wait with an onload...or maybe
there is a .loaded property?

wxPython, dynamically modify window

When the checkbox is unchecked, the buttons should not appear (be deleted)---all the while, the window should resize if necessary. If you have a simpler example, that is fine. I just need a hint as to how you dynamically change the widgets and their layouts. Looking at the wx demos, there is...

The easy way to turn off automatic updates for Windows 10/11

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,...
