Javascript putElement(s)By via PHP Follow Up Tutorial
Today we continue the Javascript DOM journey as explained yesterday with Javascript putElement(s)By via PHP Primer Tutorial as shown below, as to whether we can come up with some useful “meaningful” functionality for …
- putElementById()
- putElementsByClassName()
- putElementsByTagName()
… in Javascript … and though, today, we’ve improved, it still needs more work, such as catering for relative URLs, Ajax mode, perhaps, and the way it will not work with all URL data input.
Today, to improve the program, we can, at times use the PHP DOMDocument class functionality, and this link was very useful. It allows PHP to simulate some of Javascript’s DOM capabilities, and in our case it is used to parse HTML from within PHP.
Today we make it more user-friendly with a text input button to accept a user-defined URL to use as the data base (small blank chortle).
And we worked out the window.open approach doesn’t work everywhere, so we may end up falling back, a bit, on the underlying PHP, sometimes.
Today’s downloadable PHP is putElementsBy.php

If you are into Javascript DOM you will be into …
… and being into programming, for every get you ever see in a function or method name, you may be accustomed to looking for the set or put reverse functionality function or method.
Gadzooks … there is no …

- putElementsByClassName()
- putElementsByTagName()
… and no set versions either, in Javascript … but today we imagine a set of Javascript functions (minus the document. bizzo though … a poet who doesn’t know it… chortle, chortle) … how could they work? … well, you could try packing them off with a couple of vegemite sandwiches and an orange off up the road to get the bus … or, well, maybe a transfer of HTML element’age (elementary … no end to the chortles today!) to the end of our own webpage (optionally from another URL, perhaps … (we’ll need PHP) … haven’t dealt with relative URLs yet, though).
So, try it if you like …
Today’s downloadable PHP is putElementsBy.php (whose code would improve with the relative URL issue disappearing … and if this disappears you know we got to that first!)
