Can't Run JavaScript from Custom Widget
-
Hey,
New to WordPress. I’m trying to create a dynamic widget options form in the Admin Panel for my custom widget. I can’t seem to modify any DOM elements of this form from an external JavaScript file. I am able to run alert(“hello from JavaScript”) though, so I know I am successfully loading the script via wp_enqueue_script(). I have also tried running the script from a test HTML script, and when invoked from my test page, the script functions as it should.
The Script (monthAngel.js) :
function addAngelForm() { //alert("hello from javascript"); var form = document.getElementById("addAngelButton").parentNode; var paragraph = document.createElement("p"); var text = document.createTextNode("test text for new paragraph"); paragraph.appendChild(text); form.appendChild(paragraph); }
Enqueue Script (in functions.php) :
function add_header_scripts() { wp_enqueue_script('monthAngelScript', get_bloginfo('template_directory') . '/js/monthAngel.js'); } add_action('admin_print_scripts', 'add_header_scripts');
In WP_Widget Subclass (declared in functions.php) :
function form($instance) { ?> <p> <label for="<?php echo $this->get_field_id('title');?>">Title: </label> <input id="<?php echo $this->get_field_id('title');?>" name="<?php echo $this->get_field_name('title');?>" type="text" value="<?php echo esc_attr($instance['title']);?>" /> <input class="button-primary" style="margin:5px; float:right;" id="addAngelButton" type="button" onClick="addAngelForm()" value="Add Angel"/> </p> <?php }
Any ideas?
