JavaScript - Changing Save As Filename

Hey, I'm trying to make a game, I learned how to do so by reading tutorials but the problem is that I do not know how to implement the save/load function into the game, the tutorial surrounding that area was very unclear to me, and here I am...
Any tips on how to make this work is greatly appreciated, I wouldn't asked if I hadn't tried my best and every way I could think of. I'm still quite new to coding so...

The first piece of code is the game, the second one is what I'm trying to make the game work with.
I tried for a while and got the game to reset back to values, but only the values I set in the code so it never actually worked.
The tutorial doesn't give any live examples and I really am... not that bright when it comes to coding

Sorry and thanks, all inputs are appreciated.

I read tutorial from links below,
Javascript String Compression | Almost Idle Tutorial for save code
Incremental Lesson 9 - For Loops | Almost Idle Tutorial for the game code

Code:

/*Pleae refer to Lesson 9.txt for a full description on this lesson*/

//The timer to run code every second
var Timer = window.setInterval(function(){Tick()}, 1000);
var buildings = [];

//The object declaration for game saves
function GameSave() {
	this.money = 0;
	this.buildings = [];
	for (var i = 0;i < buildings.length;i++) {
		this.buildings[i] = 0;
	}
}

//The object declaration for buildings
function Building() {
	this.Name = "Lemonade Stand";
	this.Cost = 10;
	this.PerSec = 1;
}

//The function to initialise all buildings
function InitBuildings() {
	LoadBuilding("Lemonade Stand",10,1);
}

//The function to automatically load a building into the buildings array
function LoadBuilding(name,cost,persec) {
	var cur = buildings.length;
	
	buildings[cur] = new Building();
	buildings[cur].Name = name;
	buildings[cur].Cost = cost;
	buildings[cur].PerSec = persec;
}

//The function used to gather money
function GatherMoney() {
	game.money++; //++ tells javascript to add 1 to the variable
	
	//Display the player's current money
	document.getElementById("money").innerHTML = game.money;
}

//The function that gets run every second
function Tick() {
	for (var i = 0;i < buildings.length;i++) {
		game.money += game.buildings[i] * buildings[i].PerSec;
	}
	document.getElementById("money").innerHTML = game.money;
}

//The function to buy a lemonade stand
function Build(id) {
	if (game.money >= buildings[id].Cost) { //Check if the player has enough money, then subtract it and add a new building if they do
		game.money -= buildings[id].Cost;
		game.buildings[id] = game.buildings[id] + 1;
		document.getElementById("money").innerHTML = game.money;
		document.getElementById("Building1Qty").innerHTML = game.buildings[id];
	}
}

//Run this code once the page has loaded fully
window.onload = function() {
	InitBuildings();
	window.game = new GameSave();
};

Code:

/*Pleae refer to Compression.txt for a full description on this lesson*/

function NewGame() {
	this.name = "Our Game";
	this.description = "Our Game's Description";
	this.numbers = [];
	for (var i=0;i<10;i++) {
		this.numbers[i] = i;
	}
}

var Game = new NewGame();

window.onload = function() {
	var SaveGame = JSON.stringify(Game);
	SaveGame = encode_utf8(SaveGame);
	SaveGame = lzw_encode(SaveGame);
	window.localStorage['SaveName'] = SaveGame;
	
	
	SaveGame = window.localStorage['SaveName'];
	SaveGame = lzw_decode(SaveGame);

	window.GameTwo = JSON.parse(SaveGame);
	
	document.getElementById("name").innerHTML = "Name: " + GameTwo.name;
	document.getElementById("desc").innerHTML = "Description: " + GameTwo.description;
	var numbers = "";
	for (var i=0;i<10;i++) {
		if (numbers.length == 0) {numbers = i;} else {numbers += ", " + i;}
	}
	document.getElementById("numbers").innerHTML = "Numbers: " + numbers;
}

// LZW-compress a string
function lzw_encode(s) {
    var dict = {};
    var data = (s + "").split("");
    var out = [];
    var currChar;

            phrase=currChar;

the problem is that I do not know how to implement the save/load function into the game


save it where? that particular question is important as JavaScript has only limited places where it can save something at all.

1) save it on the server => call a server script with the appropriate data (e.g. via AJAX)
2) cookies, very limited storage space, only works on the same browser
3) WebStorage, more space than cookies, but still only the same browser
4) IndexedDB (same as above)

Hello,

Is it possible to store the edited value in the div tag in the original file, such that next time i open the HTML file the new edited value appears.
Thanks in advance.

Have a Good day.

Hey guys, I think this is some pretty basic JavaScript but I'm not too familiar with the language and would really appreciate some help here.
I have an image switcher script setup. Its very basic and changes the image displayed on click of a link. Here is what I currently have:

Javascript:
Code:

<script type="text/javascript">
function changeIt(imageName,objName)
{
var obj = document.getElementById(objName);

var imgTag = "<img src='"+imageName+"' border='0' />";

obj.innerHTML = imgTag;

   return;
}

</script>

HTML:
Code:

<div id="image1">
<img src="http://profile.ak.fbcdn.net/hprofile-ak-snc4/49057_100001550995222_9679_q.jpg" border="0" alt="one" />
</div>

<br>

<a id="one" href="#" onclick="changeIt('http://profile.ak.fbcdn.net/hprofile-ak-snc4/49057_100001550995222_9679_q.jpg','image1');">one</a>

<a id="two" href="#" onclick="changeIt('http://profile.ak.fbcdn.net/hprofile-ak-snc4/174411_100002333675750_7453320_q.jpg','image1');">two</a>

<a id="three" href="#" onclick="changeIt('http://profile.ak.fbcdn.net/hprofile-ak-snc4/41512_100000999943382_7276_q.jpg','image1');">three</a>

<a id="four" href="#" onclick="changeIt('http://profile.ak.fbcdn.net/hprofile-ak-snc4/41477_100001406980454_629_q.jpg','image1');">four</a>

<a id="five" href="#" onclick="changeIt('http://www.dead-paramour.org/fans/fanMCR4.jpg','image1');">five</a>

Its very basic but does what I want. What I'm attempting to do is store the image selected as a cookie so that when users refresh/navigate to other pages the image stays to the one they selected.
Is anyone able to help me out with this?

Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Chris

Hello all,

i am a newbie here.
I am starting to programme with javascript.

I am designing a website.
in This website there is an input with type = text and beside this input, there is another input with type = submit.

If i open this website: The default value on the search text is "Enter a text",
and if I click submit button, this button can recognize the value of the search text which is "Enter a text".


<input id="searchText" type="submit" value="Enter a text"/>
<input id="searchSubmit" type="submit" value="Submit"/>


And then i modified a little bit. I have this javascript:

var searchInput = $('#searchText');
searchInput.focus( function() {
searchInput.attr('value', '');
});

The goal is, when I click on the search text, the default text is gone.
And it worked.
But if i write a new text on the search text, the submit button still recognized the value of search text as empty string.

Can anyone please help me??

Thank you

Hey Guys,

I'm working on a Gameserver for a Game, written in JavaScript.
I want to save all console.log()'s with Timestamp into a txt-file but I don't know how :/

Could you help me with it and tell me how I can do this?
for example, I want to save User-Logins into the logs. This is the code I'm using right now.
Code:

            case "LOGIN":
                var data = PacketModels.login.parse(datapacket);
                User.login(data.username, data.password, data.is_banned, data.is_online, function(result, user){
                    if(result){
                        if(user.is_banned == 1){
                            console.log("[WARNING] ".red + data.username + " tried to login. It failed because the User is banned!");
                            c.socket.write(packet.build(["LOGIN", "ISBANNED"]));
                        }else if(user.is_banned == 0){
                            if(user.is_online == 1){
                                console.log("[WARNING] ".red + data.username + " tried to login. It failed because the User is already online!");
                                c.socket.write(packet.build(["LOGIN", "ALREADYLOGGEDIN"]));
                            }else if(user.is_online == 0){
                                c.user = user;

JS will not save a text file. You need to do this with a server side language like PHP and if your going to all of that trouble you might want to study a database at the same time or soon after.

Hi..

I have checkbox and I need to get his value.

I create function for checkbox if checkbox is clicked it is true then the checkbox value is H else W.

Code:

function chk(){
 
if(document.getElementById('H').checked==true){
 var H = document.getElementById('H'). value = H;
}

else if(document.getElementById('H').checked==false){
var H = document.getElementById('H'). value = W;
}
 
}

and I have function for save :

Code:

function ApproveLeaveOP(){
    var H = document.getElementById('H').value;
    document.sampleform.action="AddLeave.php?H="+H;
    document.sampleform.submit();  

}
<input type="checkbox" name="H" id="H" value="" onclick="chk()">

I don't know how can I add value to the checkbox if I click the value will be H if not the value is W.

I am new in using checkbox.
Thank you so much..

Hi all, I found this script online that lets users on an iPhone drag boxes around the screen. The problem is that when you reload the page, the boxes are in different positions than what they were before the reload. Like, you would drag the boxes around and then reload the page, but the boxes would be in the default locations. I want the boxes to stay in the same spot that they were the previous time they moved them. Does that make sense? Anyways, here's the example I found online:

http://www.manifestinteractive.com/iphone/touch/

Only works on iPad/iPhone/iPod Touch. It uses jQuery too so if you know of any way to do this, that would be excellent. Thanks.

I am trying to do this and have some code im working with.

I can load the file through a browse button then save it using the existing code.

However, I want instead of the browse option to just preload the file into the textarea and then be able to save it.

Code:

<script language="javascript">
<!--//
 var oFileSystem;
  oFileSystem = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");
   function ShowFile(sFilePath){
     frmEditHTML.tarHTMLText.value = oFileSystem.OpenTextFile(sFilePath).ReadAll();
   }

   function SaveAfterEditing(){
    var oFile;
     oFile = oFileSystem.CreateTextFile(frmEditHTML.filPath.value,1);
     oFile.WriteLine(frmEditHTML.tarHTMLText.value);
     oFile.Close();
   }
</script>

Code:

<form name="frmEditHTML">
<input type="file" name="filPath" onchange="ShowFile(this.value)">
<br><textarea name="tarHTMLText" cols=60 rows=20></textarea><br>
<input type="button" value="Save" name="cmdSave" onclick="SaveAfterEditing()">
</form>

im trying to have it save the values in the menu, i was think either cookies or
storing it in the .window thing but i am unsure of how to do these, any help would be great.



Code:

<script type="text/javascript">

function setCookie(c_name,value,exdays)
{
var exdate=new Date();
exdate.setDate(exdate.getDate() + exdays);
var c_value=escape(value) + ((exdays==null) ? "" : "; expires="+exdate.toUTCString());
document.cookie=c_name + "=" + c_value;
}


function getCookie(c_name)
{
var i,x,y,ARRcookies=document.cookie.split(";");
for (i=0;i<ARRcookies.length;i++)
{
  x=ARRcookies[i].substr(0,ARRcookies[i].indexOf("="));
  y=ARRcookies[i].substr(ARRcookies[i].indexOf("=")+1);
  x=x.replace(/^\s+|\s+$/g,"");
  if (x==c_name)
    {
    return unescape(y);
    }
  }

Hi , i have got this img src html..

how do i write a javascript to auto save this image in C:\ without right click on the image?

<img src="/user_images/V/VI/VIR/Virgo001/1135356474_ylittlekid.jpg" alt="1135356474_ylittlekid.jpg"></img>

thanks for help!

I have a long survey form and once its submitted it gets recorded into a database. I would love to be able to save a PDF version of the HTML form with all their radio buttons and textfields filled out at the same time its submitted. It would need a unique name that matches their record in the database (maybe it pulls the data that was entered into one of the form fields for the name).

Whether it gets uploaded to an ftp or just emailed to a mailbox doesn't really matter. The purpose of this is to basically have a visual interpretation of the data by a single user.

Is something like this even possible?

I'm trying to find the best approach for saving the checked value of a checkbox in SQL

With this script the FieldName "Active" toggles yes/no onClick...
That we can post to the database no problem...

What I am having trouble with is saving the checked value.

I want to make the FieldName Active =hidden, and only display the
checkbox with correct value checked yes/no.

Code:

<script type="text/javascript">
var YesOrNo = (function() {
  if(document.select.checkbox.checked) {
    document.select.Active.value = 'yes';
  } else {
    document.select.Active.value = 'no';
  }
});
</script>
<form name="select">
    <input type="hidden"   name="Active"   size="10" /> 
    <input type="checkbox" name="checkbox" onclick="YesOrNo();"  value="on" />
</form>

Hi,
In Google Chrome the 'chrome.tabs.captureVisibleTab(integer windowId, function callback)' method will return a data URL of the JPEG encoding of the visible area of the captured tab.

We want to save that content as image to hard disk without opening/passing the contents into new html page.

Does anybody know how it can be done by javascript.
Please provide help.

Thanks.
