I have seen many threads related to my question title.
Here is HTML Codes :
The problem for me was as simple as just not knowing Javascript well. I was trying to pass the name of the id using double quotes, when I should have been using single. And it worked fine.
This worked:
validateSelectizeDropdown('#PartCondition')
This did not:
validateSelectizeDropdown("#PartCondition")
And the function:
function validateSelectizeDropdown(name) {
if ($(name).val() === "") {
//do something
}
}
This'll work:
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function myFunc(id)
{
alert(id);
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<button id="button1" class="MetroBtn" onClick="myFunc(this.id);">Btn1</button>
<button id="button2" class="MetroBtn" onClick="myFunc(this.id);">Btn2</button>
<button id="button3" class="MetroBtn" onClick="myFunc(this.id);">Btn3</button>
<button id="button4" class="MetroBtn" onClick="myFunc(this.id);">Btn4</button>
</body>
</html>
you can use this.
<html>
<head>
<title>Demo</title>
<script>
function passBtnID(id) {
alert("You Pressed: " + id);
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<button id="mybtn1" onclick="passBtnID('mybtn1')">Press me</button><br><br>
<button id="mybtn2" onclick="passBtnID('mybtn2')">Press me</button>
</body>
</html>
Check this: http://jsfiddle.net/h7kRt/1/,
you should change in jsfiddle on top-left to No-wrap in <head>
Your code looks good and it will work inside a normal page. In jsfiddle your function was being defined inside a load handler and thus is in a different scope. By changing to No-wrap you have it in the global scope and can use it as you wanted.
In jsFiddle by default the code you type into the script block is wrapped in a function executed on window.onload:
<script type='text/javascript'>//<![CDATA[
window.onload = function () {
function myFunc(id){
alert(id);
}
}
//]]>
</script>
Because of this, your function myFunc
is not in the global scope so is not available to your html buttons. By changing the option to No-wrap in <head>
as Sergio suggests your code isn't wrapped:
<script type='text/javascript'>//<![CDATA[
function myFunc(id){
alert(id);
}
//]]>
</script>
and so the function is in the global scope and available to your html buttons.
