Im trying to call a js function on a HTML element which I have appended to the page using JQUERY.
<body>
<div id='father'>
</div>
<input type="submit" value="choice one" onclick='choice_one()'/>
<input type="submit" value="choice two" onclick='choice_two()'/>
<input type="submit" value="choice three" onclick='choice_three()'/>
</body>
My jQuery is in a js function..
<script>
function choice_one(){
var container = "<div id='field'>
<form>
<input type="text" id='choice_one_answer' value="" />
<input type="submit" value="submit" onclick='answer_one()'/>
</form>
</div>";
$('ul#field').remove();
$("div#father").append(container);
}
function choice_two(){
var container = "<div id='field'>
<form>
<input type="text" id='choice_two_answer1' value="" />
<input type="text" id='choice_two_answer3' value="" />
<input type="submit" value="submit" onclick='answer_two()'/>
</form>
</div>";
$('ul#field').remove();
$("div#father").append(container);
}
</script>
So the third part is using the answers and with js then reloading anther field. Then loading another function –> new answer field.
<script>
function answer_one(){
var answer = document.getElementById('choice_one_answer');
do something with answer...
choice_two();
}
function answer_two(){
var answer_one = document.getElementById('choice_two_answer1');
var answer_two = document.getElementById('choice_two_answer2');
do something with answer...
choice_one();
}
other functions....
</script>
So when I try to call the js functions eg answer_one()/ answer_two() the function cannot grab the variable from the input Id’s —> i presume their is because the element were not loaded when the page loaded!
Is there a jQuery/ js workaround for this… any thoughts??
Is there a work around for something like this??
Why are you using jQuery but not using
$()/jQuery()selector for selecting the element?Try to comment out the
//$('ul#id').remove()line and dupm$('ul#id').size()to console in order to know that your element exists.
