getElementsByTagName("input").value); // returnsundefined
Please help! The DW API function, getElementsByTagName() doesn't return any
values.
I'm defining the following form as part of an Insert bar extension:
(skipping the usual head stuff)
<body onLoad="reportLabel()">
<form>
<table border="0" height="100" width="100">
<tr valign="baseline">
<td align="left" nowrap>
Some label:
<input type="text" name="label_field" value="" id="alabel">
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>
</body>
</html>
And the following JavaScript:
function reportLabel() {
// Read current document's Label meta tag
var dom = dw.getDocumentDOM(); // get the dom of the current document
var label = dom.getElementsByTagName("meta");
for ( counter = 0; counter < label.length; counter++)
{
if (label[counter].name == "Label")
// alert(label[counter].content); // this works, the function reads the
user's document elements just fine
// But how do I find the input field of the extension form so that I can
prepopulate it with the label???
// alert(document.getElementById("alabel").name); // function not defined,
grrr
// alert(document.getElementsByTagName("input").value ); // returns
undefined ---> this is the function I want to use
// alert(document.hasChildNodes()); // returns true, so the document DOM is
readable
// alert(document.childNodes.length); // returns 2
// alert(document.forms.length); // returns 1
// alert(document.forms.childNodes.length); // childNodes has no properties
}
}
Thanks!

You could try getElementsByID("yourID"). Just give your form tag a unique id.

Does that work for you? The JavaScript function getElementById() is not represented in the API, and when I try it, the return is "function not defined". Thanks for chipping in.

getElementsByTagName() returns an ARRAY - so you can not use a dot
operator on it as you have. You have to do, for example:
getElementsByTagName('INPUT')[0].value etc

envision3d #5 Re: getElementsByTagName("input").value); // returnsundefined
Yes it does work for me. It is just a DOM javascript function and it is not part of the API. You may need to use document.getElementByID. Oyou can just google it to learn more about it.

Thanks EMB!
By the way, envision3d, getElementByID() absolutely does not work. The error message reads, "...document.getElementByID is not a function."
I appreciate the help from all!

That is correct, it is NTO defined in the DW API. Instead you might use
dwscripts.findDOMObject()

Scott,
We added document.getElementById() to the DW API in CS3. Note that the
method name is case-sensitive (you had "ID" instead of "Id").
Hope this helps,
Randy

Hey that's great. Is there a list of added functions somewhere?

emichael,
You can find the DW CS3 new livedocs here:
DW API Reference:
[url]http://livedocs.adobe.com/en_US/Dreamweaver/9.0_API/index.html[/url]
Extending DW:
[url]http://livedocs.adobe.com/en_US/Dreamweaver/9.0_Extending/index.html[/url]
In the DW API Reference, in the Introduction section you'll find "New
Functions in Dreamweaver CS3". Unfortunately, I don't seem to see
document.getElementById() listed, so be sure to go through each of the
sections.
Hope this helps,
Randy
