Detailed explanation of how JavaScript operates HTML elements and styles_Basic knowledge
JavaScript HTML DOM element (node)
Create new HTML element
To add a new element to the HTML DOM, you must first create the element (element node) and then append the element to an existing element.
Example
<div id="div1"> <p id="p1">This is a paragraph.</p> <p id="p2">This is another paragraph.</p> </div> <script> var para=document.createElement("p"); var node=document.createTextNode("This is new."); para.appendChild(node); var element=document.getElementById("div1"); element.appendChild(para); </script>
Example analysis:
This code creates a new
element:
var para=document.createElement("p");
To add text to a
element, you must first create a text node. This code creates a text node:
var node=document.createTextNode("This is a new paragraph.");
Then you have to append this text node to the
element:
para.appendChild(node);
Finally you must append the new element to an existing element.
This code finds an existing element:
var element=document.getElementById("div1");
The following code adds a new element after an existing element:
element.appendChild(para);
Delete existing HTML elements
This code appends a new element to this existing element:
Example
<div id="div1"> <p id="p1">This is a paragraph.</p> <p id="p2">This is another paragraph.</p> </div> <script> var parent=document.getElementById("div1"); var child=document.getElementById("p1"); parent.removeChild(child); </script>
Example analysis
This HTML document contains a
elements):
<div id="div1"> <p id="p1">This is a paragraph.</p> <p id="p2">This is another paragraph.</p> </div>
Find the element with id="div1":
var parent=document.getElementById("div1");
Find the
element with id="p1":
var child=document.getElementById("p1");
Remove child elements from parent elements:
parent.removeChild(child);
lamp It would be great if you could delete an element without referencing the parent element.
But it's a pity. The DOM needs to know the element you need to delete, and its parent element.
This is a common solution: find the child element you wish to remove and then use its parentNode property to find the parent element:
var child=document.getElementById("p1"); child.parentNode.removeChild(child);
JavaScript HTML DOM - Changing CSS
The HTML DOM allows JavaScript to change the style of HTML elements.
Change HTML style
To change the style of an HTML element, use this syntax:
document.getElementById(id).style.property=new style
The following example changes the style of the
element:
Example
<html> <body> <p id="p2">Hello World!</p> <script> document.getElementById("p2").style.color="blue"; </script> <p>The paragraph above was changed by a script.</p> </body> </html>
This example changes the style of the HTML element with id="id1" when the user clicks the button:
Example
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <body> <h1 id="id1">My Heading 1</h1> <button type="button" onclick="document.getElementById('id1').style.color='red'"> Click Me!</button> </body> </html>
