Problem with "document.getElementById()"
-
Hi, I am having a problem in javascript, im trying to implement autocomplete on a textbox named "txtAddress". i found a JS file from net which does all processing of autocomplete using AJAX. following code in my script tag gives error: var txt=document.getElementById("txtAddress").value; or var txt=document.getElementById("txtAddress").text; I get the error document.getElementById(txtid) has no properties When I try var txt=document.getElementById("txtAddress"); txt gets the null value. I am new to javascript and dont know much about it, kindly tell me what i am missing here. Thanks in advance... Regards, Affan Ahmad Toor

You're missing the bit where you need a text input with an Id of txtAddress. It doesn't exist, and so the code won't work.

Thanks for reply... i checked the textbox, its 'id' & 'name' properties exists but im not sure whether it has initialized/loaded when this code executes. how can i ensure this? Regards, Affan Ahmad Toor

View the source of the page itself. For example, if this is an ASP.NET server control, the Id is autogenerated for the client side and is not what you see in your code.

It's about parentesis more than likely - try the following:
var txt=(document.getElementById("txtAddress")).value;"Knock me down, I'll get straight back up again, I'll come back stronger than a powered up pacman" (Lilly Allen / Kaiser Chiefs) -

Actually very much less than likely. The extra parentheses are completely superflous.
