Event.observe

I''m not sure if I''m understanding this correctly.

		<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JAVASCRIPT"
TYPE="TEXT/JAVASCRIPT">
				Event.observe(''mes_appearance_s0'',
''onchange'', function(e){ alert(''changed
me!'') });
				Event.observe(''headinjury'', ''click'',
function(e){ alert(''clicked me!'') });
			</SCRIPT>

Neither of these produce any errors, nor do they work.

RE: Event.observe

Should be ''change'', not ''onchange''.  Also,
are you doing that after the
elements in question have been added to the DOM (as in, farther down the
page or in an onload event or something)?

RE: Event.observe

After the elements have been added (the script is added dynamically in
PHP.) Where is a list of the events and why don''t they match up with
the
actual event name? Anyway, the click doesn''t work either.

RE: Event.observe

Ok. Now the event is working, but here''s my real problem.
Here''s the
observe script:
 
Event.observe(''mes_appearance_s0'', ''change'',
ShowItem($F(''mes_appearance_s0''), ''other'',
''mes_appearance_s1''));
 
 
 
and the code for ShowItem:
 
 
 
 
function ShowItem($value, $match, $item){
 
 if($value == $match) $($item).style.display = "inline";
 else $($item).style.display = "none";
 
 }
 
 
 
This results in a Type Mismatch error.

RE: Event.observe

That calls your function at the time you attach the event, returns the
result from the function (null in this case) into the Event.observe
function, which is expecting a function reference.  So, it blows up.

 

You want something more like:

Event.observe(''mes_appearance_s0'', ''change'',
function () {
ShowItem($F(''mes_appearance_s0''), ''other'',
''mes_appearance_s1''); });

Event.observe

Aaarrrggh. Here''s the actual code that I need to work:

			<INPUT TYPE="HIDDEN" NAME="assess_int9"

			<INPUT TYPE="CHECKBOX" NAME="assess_int9"
VALUE=":" CHECKED="CHECKED" CLASS="radiocheck"

TYPE="TEXT/JAVASCRIPT">
				Event.observe(''assess_int9'', ''click'',
function() { ClearTextIfNotChecked(''assess_int9'',
''assess_int9_s0'') ''''; });
			</SCRIPT>


However, I did this as a test and it doesn''t work either and no error:

RE: Event.observe

I figured out what the problem is. I thought JavaScript watched the ID
not the name. As you can see, I''ve got a hidden input before the
checkbox. That is on purpose. Since IE doesn''t send unchecked
checkboxes, I had to place a hidden before the actual checkboxes to
clear the values in the SQL or unchecking the box wouldn''t have any
effect. This works in Firefox and until now, it worked in Internet
Explorer. Is there any other way I can specify the checkbox input only?

RE: Event.observe

Actually, I think the problem is that you have 2 inputs with the same
id.  That is technically impossible, although Firefox tends to not
complain about it (I think it just grabs the first match).  IE just dies
because it doesn''t know what to do.  At least, that''s what I
seem to
remember.  2 elements are not allowed to have the same id.  Same name is
fine, but be advised, most server software will pack all of the values
into an array, so you might be expecting a string and get an array
instead.

I figured out what the problem is. I thought JavaScript watched the ID
not the name. As you can see, I''ve got a hidden input before the
checkbox. That is on purpose. Since IE doesn''t send unchecked
checkboxes, I had to place a hidden before the actual checkboxes to
clear the values in the SQL or unchecking the box wouldn''t have any
effect. This works in Firefox and until now, it worked in Internet

RE: Event.observe

Hey Keith, why don''t you just change the ID in each input and leave the
Name the same?
 
Ok, Keith, I will.

No, but the text input has the same id, at least in the code snippet you
sent.  That is what I was referring to.

Actually, my original code doesn''t have an ID for the HIDDEN input.
They
have the same Name though. Strange.

Actually, I think the problem is that you have 2 inputs with the same
id.  That is technically impossible, although Firefox tends to not
complain about it (I think it just grabs the first match).  IE just dies
because it doesn''t know what to do.  At least, that''s what I
seem to
remember.  2 elements are not allowed to have the same id.  Same name is
fine, but be advised, most server software will pack all of the values
into an array, so you might be expecting a string and get an array
instead.

Subject: RE: [Rails-spinoffs] Event.observe

 

I figured out what the problem is. I thought JavaScript watched the ID
not the name. As you can see, I''ve got a hidden input before the
checkbox. That is on purpose. Since IE doesn''t send unchecked
checkboxes, I had to place a hidden before the actual checkboxes to
clear the values in the SQL or unchecking the box wouldn''t have any
effect. This works in Firefox and until now, it worked in Internet
Explorer. Is there any other way I can specify the checkbox input only?

Re: Event.observe

Just FYI, the duplicate names can cause issues too, but in IE. In IE,
getElementById really means getElementByIdOrName...so if you have (for
example) a label with a name "username" and a textbox with an id
"username", whichever one comes first in the DOM will be picked up by
IE.

err... well

document.getElementById() on any *sane* browser uses the ID attribute.

on IE, it uses the name as well.  Go figure.

2 + 2 = 5 for very long values of 2!

Event.observe and multiple elements

Is there any way to pass Prototype''s Event.observe an array of
elements, e.g. an array returned by something like
getElementsByClassName?
Yahoo!''s YUI allows adding of event handlers to multiple elements but
so far I have had no success with Prototype

Thanks,
Owen
