不使用该getElementById
方法如何测试元素的存在?
我已经建立了一个现场演示供参考。我也将在此处打印代码:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<script>
var getRandomID = function (size) {
var str = "",
i = 0,
chars = "0123456789abcdefghijklmnopqurstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQURSTUVWXYZ";
while (i < size) {
str += chars.substr(Math.floor(Math.random() * 62), 1);
i++;
}
return str;
},
isNull = function (element) {
var randomID = getRandomID(12),
savedID = (element.id)? element.id : null;
element.id = randomID;
var foundElm = document.getElementById(randomID);
element.removeAttribute('id');
if (savedID !== null) {
element.id = savedID;
}
return (foundElm) ? false : true;
};
window.onload = function () {
var image = document.getElementById("demo");
console.log('undefined', (typeof image === 'undefined') ? true : false); // false
console.log('null', (image === null) ? true : false); // false
console.log('find-by-id', isNull(image)); // false
image.parentNode.removeChild(image);
console.log('undefined', (typeof image === 'undefined') ? true : false); // false ~ should be true?
console.log('null', (image === null) ? true : false); // false ~ should be true?
console.log('find-by-id', isNull(image)); // true ~ correct but there must be a better way than this?
};
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="demo"></div>
</body>
</html>
Basically the above code demonstrates an element being stored into a variable and then removed from the DOM. Even though the element has been removed from the DOM, the variable retains the element as it was when first declared. In other words, it is not a live reference to the element itself, but rather a replica. As a result, checking the variable's value (the element) for existence will provide an unexpected result.
The isNull
function is my attempt to check for an elements existence from a variable, and it works, but I would like to know if there is an easier way to accomplish the same result.
PS: I'm also interested in why JavaScript variables behave like this if anyone knows of some good articles related to the subject.
该代码对我有用,我对此没有任何问题。
