JavaScript - Which Language Is Most Similar To Javascript?
I would like to ask people's opinions as to which "offline" language is most similar to javascript? I don't program for a living, but I have been learning javascript in my spare time. I would now like to have a shot at making a desktop application, and I think it would help to choose one which is most similar, if at all possible, to javascript?
e.g. python, ruby, C#, visual basic ... I have no idea and haven't had much luck googling this Thanks Matt Similar TutorialsHi, I'm currently trying to get javascript to work with internet explorer. I managed to get one part of the translation file to work. It's a javascript to change some of the words on Facebook from English to Secwepemc (native american language). The original file works in Firefox and Chrome but not in safari. I knew it was because internet explorer has its own parameters. A file works completely for FF and chrome but not for IE. So, I changed the language a bit so that IE can understand it. Now I have one part of the translation working but not the others. I am wondering if it would be better to use ID's, names, and class all together to get the english words I want to change. I am using grease monkey for IE to use this script. I know firefox and chrome are much better but the plan is for everyone to use and some people still use IE. I know that if I have part of the words translating, then it must be the wrong identifiers. If someone can either help me find the right identifiers or if I missed changing syntax from FF and Chrome to IE, that would be amazing! Here is the javascript file. Code: var es = new Array();
es["Home"] = "Tsitcw";
es["News Feed"] = "Lexeyem";
es["Friends"] = "Kweselkten";
es["Like"] = "Xwexwisten";
es[" likes this."] = " r xwexwistes.";
es["Today"] = "Pyin Te Sitqt";
es["Say hello."] = "Say weytk.";
es["Say hi."] = "Say weytk.";
es["Tomorrow"] = "Pexweyt";
es["What are you planning?"] = "Me7 Stemi ke7 tsuwet?";
es["Where?"] = "T'he7en";
es["Who's invited?"] = "Sweti7?";
es["What's on your mind?"] = "Stemi ke7 peti'nesme?";

Hi, I need to allow some other websites to show certain portions of my website as though it were part of theirs. Simplest way would be in an iframe, but I would prefer to make the content available similar to the google map api where something like this is included in the header:- Code: <script src="http://maps.google.com/maps?file=api&v=2&sensor=true&key=blahblahblah" type="text/javascript"> </script> and in the body something like this:- Code: <div id="map" style="width: 740px; height: 520px; margin: 5px 0px 20px 0px; padding: 5px; border: 3px solid #FFDD00;"></div> So I am guessing that something in the file being called in the src of the script tag is replacing the div with id="map" with other contents. Can someone give me a simple example of doing this? Thanks. Hello all i need to be able to make small peace of js code that the user can drag to is IE browser and then invoke it on the page . Hello, I have the code in the annexe wich is working but grossly redondant, clearly, I would like to have only one function toggleEditor(), that would manage the global variables editInstance with a parameter or something equivalent to avoid having 2 twin like functions. Thanks for your suggestions. HJS Annexe : Code:
<html>
<body>
<script src="../flovinax.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script>
var editInstance= null;
function toggleEditor1(edtN) {
if(editInstance===null) {
editInstance = new flovinaxa({fullPanel : true}).panelInstance(edtN);
} else {
editInstance.removeInstance(edtN);
editInstance= null;
}
}
var editInstance2= null;
function toggleEditor2(edtN) {
if(editInstance2===null) {
editInstance2 = new flovinaxa({fullPanel : true}).panelInstance(edtN);
} else {
editInstance2.removeInstance(edtN);
editInstance2= null;
}
}
</script>
<div>
<textarea style="width: 800px; height: 200px;" id="myArea"></textarea>

<button onClick="toggleEditor1('myArea');">+</button>

I have searched for a rotating image script to use at mrsgriffins.com and am currently using Tony Foster's Picture Cube slideshow downloaded from javascript.com. This is EXACTLY the effect I wanted, but it only works with IE since it uses MS-only code. Is there a similar script that is more universal? Thanks for any help! I have created a slideshow before but I want to create a slideshow where a person clicks on a link and it goes to a certain picture which might have one or more links embedded into the picture something like this: http://www.myeloma.org.uk/ any guides on how to do this? help much appreciated Hi There, I really need your help. I am aware that there is no isDate() function for javascript, however, how could one check a date against a validator to ensure that the date entered is either returned true or false the date format that I would like to check would consist of the dd/mm/yyyy so essentially: isDate("12/01/2012") would return as true isDate("N/A") = would return as false I have searched high and low and am counting on the experts on this forum for some major help. A huge thanks in advance and I really appreciate everything. Cheers, Jay So what I'm actually refering to is something similar to facebooks sign up page. Where you have a form and you start typing the name of a high school or college and they automatically match what your typing in a drop down window. Here's an example pictu Any help pointing me in the right direction would be outstanding. Also I am pretty sure this is javascript, so I figured this was the right section for it. Thanks in Advance, Ryan http://www.premierleague.com/page/Ga...047853,00.html
I have created a program that works great but sometimes it does not finish. It is the exact same as the one we see in this forum when you want to insert an image into a forum post. The program takes in a users image url through prompt, then regenerates the information within the textbox with [img] tags. The problem is I try to do this once and it will work great, but then I will try it again and fill out all of the information the exact same way and nothing happens. By nothing happens I mean after I hit enter the text box will remain empty with no regenerated code. But if I do a page refresh it works. That leads me to believe there is nothing wrong with my code b/c I do it once and get a sound result, then again and get nothing. Anyone have any experience with broken programs like this before or any words of advice? PHP Code: <script language="javascript"> function imgGenerator(){ var question=confirm("Share a Picture?"); if (question==true){ var obj=document.getElementById("mngl-board-post-input"); var imgurl = prompt('To Share an image paste the image url here \nSupport .jpg .jpeg .gif .bmp and .png'); if (imgurl == "" || imgurl == null) {return false;} var txt=document.createTextNode("[a][img]"+imgurl+"[/img][/a]"); obj.appendChild(txt); } else {} } </script> PHP Code: <a href="javascript:void(0);" onClick="imgGenerator();"><img src="http://instride.org/images/image.png" alt="Share an Image" /></a> Hello Coding Forums, I am working on building a watch app for the Pebble smartwatch that works in combination with a Bluetooth light bulb that could trigger on and off functionality. I have bits of the source code from a the same bulb project someone started from another site that is coded Java, so I imported them into cloud pebble their java library. I've been working on this since last year and I'm wondering what at all could I be doing wrong. I get the "cards" to show up, but as far as a connection to the bulbs I have not established that yet. I've attached my source code and if anyone has any time to give me some pointers that would be appreciated massively. I know that Hubble worked on a similar project, to control lighting from a pebble smartwatch so I know it can be done. I've even tested this code with other developers who are experienced and they are also wondering why the connection does not take place. It would be really neat if I got this to work. Thank you everyone. Attached Thumbnails The code I will am including is far from finished, but some of what I do have works (the "submit" code does not work yet). I am able to prevent certain kinds of input including Shift-Ins pasting, but Ctrl-v pasting still works (and I do not want it to). Could you please tell/show me what code needs to be entered to my existing functions, or what new function I need to create (and call from my existing functions) to eliminate any kind of CtrlKey input?

Hi Guys , This is the urgnt requirement , I want to change the Browsers setting languge through java script ,and according to it , The data wht I enter dhould be change .Thanks In advance I'm currently using an automation software to automate a series of steps I perform on my computer. One of the tasks involves hundreds of If/Then loops, extracts text from websites using an embedded web browser, computes equations and write text files. The thing is, in order to share this with somebody else, they also need the same automation software installed, and then need to import it. So it's a process I'm trying to replace by creating a small program with a GUI that involves a simple installation on the user's PC (or ideally without installation). The language must be flexible enough to perform the same actions that I listed above - and more preferably. I'm a complete novice with anything besides HTML/CSS so I'm looking for A flexible programming language that isn't rocket science to learn from scratch and is ideal for small stand-alone programs The ability to create a GUI. I'd be happy to read any good reference you have about the language/design knowledge needed for GUI's. Thanks in advance Any one have any idea how to make a Java scorecard... If any one have code than please send me i have to submit it on my project... please help mee...
Hey everyone I just signed up to this forum. I have been doing a cert IV in Networking IT and part of my course involves javascript.

I know its all a bit sloppy, but Im just trying to rush though so much work... Any help would be great. If everyone is active tonight I probably will be. Normally I dont have this many problems, but I guess its just exam pressure... Cheers 5hifty Hello, I would like to add multi-language support on the website. So far i have the following code which enables a drop down menu. I would rather prefer a flags instead of a drop down menu. Please help. Thank you very much. PHP Code: <div id="google_translate_element" class="right"></div> <script> function googleTranslateElementInit() { new google.translate.TranslateElement({ pageLanguage: 'en', includedLanguages: 'en,fr,de,it,es', gaTrack: true, gaId: 'UA-28770952-1', layout: google.translate.TranslateElement.InlineLayout.HORIZONTAL }, 'google_translate_element'); } </script><script src="//translate.google.com/translate_a/element.js?cb=googleTranslateElementInit"></script> I am not super familiar with code - I can easily take code and with a little direction get the desired end result so anyone who can help me with this it will be VERY appreciated. I don't even know what terms to search in order to create a page that I am looking for.... So here goes: I want to model our distributor page after a R E D K E N.com Distributor Locator Page. Here is what happens.... There is a drop down menu of the 50 states, and when you select the state the table of information below changes. screen shots below I am sure this is fairly easy to resolve, however I don't know where to begin. Thank You in advance for your time. Kristi |
