How can I use Javascript to access sub-elements?
- by Steve
I am dynamically creating forms dynamically according to a users actions. It is an entry-box and a two "buttons" for each instance. Each instance will be wrapped in a unique div tag.
What I tried to do without success is when I dynamically create the "button" I attach a function with the input variable containing the div of its instance. This a brief excerpt:
var newDivClass = document.getElementById("instance"+1);
button1.innerHTML = "<a href=\"#\" onclick=\"buttons("+newDivClass+");\" id=\"button1\"> Button1 </a>";
function buttons(selected) {
//I want this to select the first instance
//of button1 found within div newDivClass
selected.getElementById("button1");
//I also tried
//this.getElementById("button1");
//selected.getChildren[0];
}
The problem appears to be in passing newDivClass to the the actual function.
