  • 0

I am testing a thing based upon the URL . If the URL ends with logout.jsp then the logout message should get displayed
and if URL ends with index.jsp the message should not get displayed . For doing this I used
document.getElementById("id").hidden = value. But this doesn’t work.Infact the function is not being called.
I don’t know what the problem is.

HTML snippet

<table id="LogoutMessage" onload="urlCheck()">
            <tr>
                <td>
                    <h2>You are successfully logged out !</h2>
                </td>
            </tr>
        </table>

javascript function

<script type="text/javascript">
    function urlCheck() {
        alert("in the function urlCheck");
        if(document.URL.endsWith() = "logout.jsp")
            document.getElementById("LogoutMessage").hidden = false;
        else if(document.URL.endsWith() = "index.jsp")
            document.getElementById("LogoutMessage").hidden = true;                
    }
</script>

Whole page In JSP

<%@page contentType="text/html" pageEncoding="UTF-8"%>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
    <title>PhotoArtWork</title>
    <jsp:include page="reusable/stylesheets.html" />
    <script type="text/javascript" src="js/modernizr-1.5.min.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
    <jsp:include page="reusable/header.html" />
    <!-- begin content --><div id="site_content">
        <table id="LogoutMessage" onload="urlCheck()">
            <tr>
                <td>
                    <h2>You are successfully logged out !</h2>
                </td>
            </tr>
        </table>
  <ul class="slideshow">
    <li class="show"><img width="950" height="450" src="images/home_1.jpg" alt="&quot;You can put a caption for your image right here&quot;"></li>
    <li><img width="950" height="450" src="images/home_2.jpg" alt="&quot;You can put a description of the image here if you like, or anything else if you want.&quot;"></li>
    <li><img width="950" height="450" src="images/home_3.jpg" alt="&quot;You can put a description of the image here if you like, or anything else if you want.&quot;"></li>

  </ul>
  </div>
<!-- end content -->
<script type="text/javascript">
    function urlCheck() {
        alert("in the function urlCheck");
        if(document.URL.endsWith() = "logout.jsp")
            document.getElementById("LogoutMessage").hidden = false;
        else if(document.URL.endsWith() = "index.jsp")
            document.getElementById("LogoutMessage").hidden = true;                
    }
</script>
<jsp:include page="reusable/footer.html" />
</body>
</html>

    There is no .hidden attribute. It is part of the element’s style and you would use visibility.

    document.getElementById("LogoutMessage").style.visibility = "hidden"; // or "visible"

    And if I had to guess, you want to use display and not hidden.

    document.getElementById("LogoutMessage").style.display = "none"; // or "block"
