If you’re dealing with 3rd party scripts, simply replacing document.write to capture the output and stick it in the right place isn’t good enough, since they could change the script and then your site would break. writeCapture.js does what you need (full disclosure: I’m the author). It basically rewrites the script tags so that each … Read more
You can put the variables in an object then easily print them this way: http://jsfiddle.net/5MVde/7/ See fiddle for everything, this is the JavaScript… var x = { foo: 5, bar: 6, foobar: function (){ var that=this; return that.foo+that.bar } }; var myDiv = document.getElementById(“results”); myDiv.innerHTML=’Variable Names…’; for(var variable in x) { //alert(variable); myDiv.innerHTML+='<br>’+variable; } myDiv.innerHTML+='<br><br>And … Read more
You need a placeholder element for your output. Then set the innerHTML for that element: <div id=’answer’></div> then: document.getElementById(‘answer’).innerHTML = “answer is:” + yourdata
if I take the guts of the render() function out (i.e., just put them after load() in main.js), this works fine. Doesn’t for me in IE8. If I lose the AJAX call completely and just call render() in main.js, I get the same result. In fact even if I replace the whole of main.js with … Read more
document.write() will only work while the page is being originally parsed and the DOM is being created. Once the browser gets to the closing </body> tag and the DOM is ready, you can’t use document.write() anymore. I wouldn’t say using document.write() is correct or incorrect, it just depends on your situation. In some cases you … Read more
The issue is that when you run document.write after the document has loaded, it overwrites the entire document. If it is run before that, it does not overwrite it. What you want to do is set the innerHtml of a specific element, something like: document.getElementById(“myDiv”).innerHTML=”Sup”;
An asynchronously loaded script is likely going to run AFTER the document has been fully parsed and closed. Thus, you can’t use document.write() from such a script (well technically you can, but it won’t do what you want). You will need to replace any document.write() statements in that script with explicit DOM manipulations by creating … Read more
var my_awesome_script = document.createElement(‘script’); my_awesome_script.setAttribute(‘src’,’http://example.com/site.js’); document.head.appendChild(my_awesome_script);
The reason that your HTML is replaced is because of an evil JavaScript function: document.write(). It is most definitely “bad form.” It only works with webpages if you use it on the page load; and if you use it during runtime, it will replace your entire document with the input. And if you’re applying it … Read more
