JavaScript HTML DOM
Through the HTML DOM, you can access all the elements of a JavaScript HTML document.
HTML DOM (Document Object model)
When a Web page is loaded, the browser creates a Document object model for the page.
The HTML DOM model is constructed as a tree of objects.
HTML DOM Tree
With the programmable object model, JavaScript has the ability to create dynamic HTML.
· JavaScript can change all HTML elements in a page
· JavaScript can change all HTML attributes in a page
· JavaScript can change all CSS styles in a page
· JavaScript can react to all the events in the page
Finding HTML elements
Typically, with JavaScript, you need to manipulate HTML elements.
In order to do this, you must first find the element. There are three ways to do this:
· Find HTML elements by ID
· Find HTML elements by tag name
· Find HTML elements by class name
Find HTML elements by ID
The simplest way to find HTML elements in the DOM is by using the ID of the element.
Instance
This example finds the id= "Intro" element:
var X=document.getelementbyid ("Intro");
If the element is found, the method returns the element in the form of an object (in X).
If the element is not found, the X will contain null.
Find an instance of an HTML element with a tag name
This example finds the element that id= "main" and then looks for all the <p> elements in "main":
var x=document.getelementbyid ("main"); var y=x.getelementsbytagname ("P");
tip: finding HTML elements through the class name is not valid in IE 5,6,7,8.
JavaScript HTML DOM-changing HTML
HTML DOM allows JavaScript to change the contents of HTML elements.
Changing the HTML output stream
JavaScript is able to create dynamic HTML content:
today's date is: Fri APR 16:44:31 gmt+0800 (China Standard Time)
In JavaScript, document.write () can be used to write content directly to the HTML output stream.
Instance
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<script>
document.write(Date());
</script>
</body>
</html>
tip: never use document.write () after the document is loaded. This overwrites the document.
Change HTML Content
The simplest way to modify HTML content is to use the InnerHTML property.
To change the contents of an HTML element, use this syntax:
document.getElementById (ID). innerhtml=New HTML
Instance
This example changes the contents of the <p> element:
<html>
<body>
<p id="p1">Hello World!</p>
<script>document.getElementById("p1").innerHTML="New text!";</script>
</body>
</html>
Instance
This example changes the contents of the
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<h1 id="header">Old Header</h1>
<script>var element=document.getElementById("header");element.innerHTML="New Header";</script>
</body>
</html>
Example Explanation:
· The above HTML document contains the
· We use the HTML DOM to get the id= "header" element
· JavaScript changes the contents of this element (InnerHTML)
Changing HTML Properties
To change the attributes of an HTML element, use this syntax:
document.getElementById (ID). attribute=New Value
Instance
This example changes the SRC attribute of the element:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<img id="image" src="smiley.gif">
<script>
document.getElementById("image").src="landscape.jpg";
</script>
</body>
</html>
Example Explanation:
· The above HTML document contains the elements of the id= "image"
· We use the HTML DOM to get the elements of the id= "image"
· JavaScript changes the attributes of this element (change "smiley.gif" to "landscape.jpg")
JavaScript HTML DOM-changing CSS
HTML DOM allows JavaScript to change the style of HTML elements.
Change HTML Style
To change the style of your HTML elements, use this syntax:
document.getElementById (ID). style.property=New Style
Example 1
The following example changes the style of the <p> element:
<PID= "P2">Hello world!</P> <Script>document.getElementById ("P2"). Style.color="Blue";</Script>
Example 2
This example changes the style of the HTML element of the id= "ID1" when the user taps the button:
<id= "Id1">My Heading 1</H1 >
<type= "button" onclick= "document.getElementById (' id1 '). Style.color= ' red '> Click here </button>
