I've tried some HTML DOM code from several sites, but it isn't working. It isn't adding anything. Does anyone have a working example on this?
this.img = document.createElement("img");
this.img.src = "img/eqp/"+this.apparel+"/"+this.facing+"_idle.png";
src = getElementById("gamediv");
src.appendChild(this.img)
But it isn't adding anything to the div gamediv. I've tried document.body as well, with no result.
You need to use document.getElementById() in line 3.
If you try this right now in the console:
var img = document.createElement("img");
img.src = "http://www.google.com/intl/en_com/images/logo_plain.png";
var src = document.getElementById("header");
src.appendChild(img);<div id="header"></div>... you'd get this:
src path is incorrect? Can you try an image with an absolute path, that you know for sure exists? Such as: http://www.google.com/intl/en_com/images/logo_plain.pngWith a little research i found that javascript does not know that a Document Object Exist unless the Object has Already loaded before the script code (As JavaScript reads down a page).
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function insert(){
var src = document.getElementById("gamediv");
var img = document.createElement("img");
img.src = "img/eqp/"+this.apparel+"/"+this.facing+"_idle.png";
src.appendChild(img);
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="gamediv">
<script type="text/javascript">
insert();
</script>
</div>
</body>
Instead of using document.createElement() use new Image()
const myImage = new Image(100, 200);
myImage.src = 'picture.jpg';
document.body.appendChild(myImage);
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/HTMLImageElement/Image
The Image() constructor creates a new HTMLImageElement instance. It is functionally equivalent to document.createElement('img').
This works:
var img = document.createElement('img');
img.src = 'img/eqp/' + this.apparel + '/' + this.facing + '_idle.png';
document.getElementById('gamediv').appendChild(img)
Or using jQuery:
$('<img/>')
.attr('src','img/eqp/' + this.apparel + '/' + this.facing + '_idle.png')
.appendTo('#gamediv');
or you can just
<script>
document.write('<img src="/*picture_location_(you can just copy the picture and paste it into the script)*\"')
document.getElementById('pic')
</script>
<div id="pic">
</div>
Get rid of the this statements too
var img = document.createElement("img");
img.src = "img/eqp/"+this.apparel+"/"+this.facing+"_idle.png";
src = document.getElementById("gamediv");
src.appendChild(this.img)
Things to ponder:
this is your code refering togetElementById usually document.getElementById?
