create new element on xajax

Question

hi everyone it's my again. maybe its a stupid question but i can do it :>

I need to create a div object inside my xajax function. I do so

$response->create("parent id","The name of the new element","new id");

So far SO good. Next, i assign a property to my new object like this

$response->assign("new id","style.display","block")

again so far so good. My problem is when wanting to create a attribute. This is my code

$response->assign("new id","class","name of my class");

in html is something like <div id="p-new id" class="name of my class">

but i can't do this. Any suggestions are very good

Thanks.

Answer 1

Remember that ->assign(*id*, *prop*, *value*) is translated into document.getElementById(*id*).*prop* = *value*;

Because class is a reserved word in Javascript, the class attribute is handled by the property className .

So $response->assign("new id","className","name of my class"); will work.

Answer 2

Why don't you create whole object in one line like:

$response->assign("parent-id","innerHTML","<div id='p-new id' class='name of my class'>");

or if you can't change parent-id innerHTML create: firstly new-id div:

$response->create("parent-id","The name of the new element","new-id");

and then assign it's innerHTML new div:

$response->assign("parent-id","innerHTML","<div class='name of my class'></div>");

Unfortunatelly you will get structure

<div id="p-new id"> <class="name of my class"></div> </div>

not as you want

<div id="p-new id" class="name of my class"></div>

But you can adjust this idea to your needs and create sth like

<div id="outer-sth"><div id="p-new id" class="name of my class"></div></div>

Which I belive is close enough to what you are asking.
