<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
if (document.getElementById("popup")) {
window.alert("hi");
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<h1 id="popup">dfdfs</h1>
</body>
</html>
i have a simple javascript which shows alert when the h1 id exits ,but i am not getting the alert message.code in jquery also can help.
Put your <script> tag at the end of the body:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<h1 id="popup">dfdfs</h1>
<script type="text/javascript">
if (document.getElementById("popup")) {
window.alert("hi");
}
</script>
</body>
</html>
Write your script after the element so that it runs after element is present. See the code:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<h1 id="popup">dfdfs</h1>
<script type="text/javascript">
if (document.getElementById("popup")) {
window.alert("hi");
}
</script>
</body>
</html>
Plunkr for the same is: "http://plnkr.co/edit/0fznytLHtKNuZNqFjd5G?p=preview"
Because, you're executing the script before document is completely loaded, the element #popup is not found.
Use DOMContentLoaded to check if the DOM is completely loaded.
<script type="text/javascript">
document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", function(event) {
console.log("DOM fully loaded and parsed");
if (document.getElementById("popup")) {
window.alert("hi");
}
});
</script>
readyUsing jQuery, you can use ready method to check if DOM is ready.
$(document).ready(function() {
if ($("#popup").length) {
window.alert("hi");
}
});
script to the end of bodyYou can move your script to the end of body.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<h1 id="popup">dfdfs</h1>
// Move it here
<script type="text/javascript">
if (document.getElementById("popup")) {
window.alert("hi");
}
</script>
</body>
</html>
Your script is above the h1 element that you're trying to retrieve. Because of this, it is being run before the element actually exists.
Either move the script to the bottom of the page, or wrap it in a jQuery ready block. And consider moving it to an external file.
$(function() {
if(document.getElementById("popup")) {
window.alert("hi");
}
});
try this easy way. no need of jquery.
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<h1 id="popup">dfdfs</h1>
<script type="text/javascript">
if(document.getElementById("popup")) {
window.alert("hi");
}
</script>
</body>
</html>
It is good practice to use the <script> tags in <body> because it improves the performance by loading it quicker.
And then use
<body>
<script>
$(function() {
if(document.getElementById("popup")) {
window.alert("hi");
}
});
</script>
</body>
) of itBelow code gives you solution
$(document).ready(function() {
if (document.getElementById("popup")) {
window.alert("hi");
}
});
