Guardian-Mage Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 I have an external javascript file linked to in my HTML, but when I call document.getElementById('id').innerHTML it returns null. I call my function using <body onload="myfunction"> and nothing different. I am using XHTML 1.1. Any ideas?

GB_001 Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 Why don't you include it into the page with php? Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/98669-solved-getelementbyid-in-external-files/#findComment-507952 Share on other sites More sharing options...
haku Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 Post your code - getElementById works fine in external functions, so its likely that your problem lies somewhere else. Show us the javascript in question, as well as the tag which you are trying to access. Finally, don't use body-onload. This isn't recommended anymore. Add this to the bottom of your external js file: window.onload = function() { // in here place the code you want executed when the page loads } Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/98669-solved-getelementbyid-in-external-files/#findComment-508050 Share on other sites More sharing options...
