Hello everyone, thank you for stopping by.
I'm trying to figure out the correct way to achieve the following:
<script language="javascript">
function flag(nation)
{
this.nation=nation;
document.getElementById("flag").innerHTML="<img src='images/flags/'+nation+'.jpg'>";
}
</script>
using this in the link tags: onClick="flag(scotislands)"; with the image name being scotislands.jpg
Thank you so much, B.
There seems to be a mix-up in the string identifiers in the code below:
document.getElementById("flag").innerHTML="<img src='images/flags/'+nation+'.jpg'>";
The correct version should be:
document.getElementById("flag").innerHTML='<img src="images/flags/'+nation+'.jpg">';
UPDATE
Additionally, as pointed out by Joel, onClick="flag(scotislands)"; should be changed to onClick="flag('scotislands')";
Make sure to enclose the text in the link tag in quotes to avoid any confusion when searching for the scotislands variable.
onClick="flag('scotislands');"
After that, adjust the innerHTML assignment as follows:
document.getElementById("flag").innerHTML="<img src='images/flags/" + nation + ".jpg'>"
Note the use of single quotes within the URL and double quotes around the text.
For a more elegant solution without embedding code in the markup, consider using a framework like jQuery:
<a href="#scotislands" class="flag-identifier">Scotislands</a>
Then, in JavaScript, create a handler for all similar links:
$(function() {
$('a.flag-identifier').click( function() {
var flag = $(this).attr('href').replace('#','');
$('#flag').html( '<img src="images/flags/' + flag + '.jpg" />' );
return false;
});
});
This script sets up a click event that extracts the flag name from the anchor's href attribute, updates the content of the designated flag element with the composed image URL, and can also handle setting the nation variable if needed within the click function.
Ensure that the string you are using for innerHTML is correctly enclosed in quotes. Here is a revised version:
document.getElementById("flag").innerHTML = "<img src='images/flags/'+nation+'.jpg'>";
Additionally, make sure that your onClick function is targeting the correct object. Consider using the following code instead:
onClick="flag('scotislands');"
write a function called displayFlag that takes a parameter called country. Inside this function, find the HTML element with the ID "flag" and get the first image within it. Set the source of this image to be "images/flags/"+country+".jpg".
Defining what is considered "correct" can vary depending on the context. Assuming that you are referring to the use of the innerHTML property, it may not necessarily align with recognized standards such as the Document Object Model (DOM). However, the following code snippet demonstrates a function that can dynamically display a flag based on the input nation:
function displayFlag(country) {
var flagElement = document.getElementById("flag");
while (flagElement.firstChild) {
flagElement.removeChild(flagElement.firstChild);
}
var img = document.createElement("img");
img.src = "images/flags/" + country + ".jpg";
flagElement.appendChild(img);
}
