JavaScript - Change Css Property With Math

I'm making a 3d pie chart. I have the points and the correct method to fill everything but when the slice rotates I want to make the outer edge filled, but in order to do that I have to figure out what math I use to find the leading edge.
I made a picture to hopefully explin what I need to find. I figure it might be the tangent but I was hoping someone smarter than I could send me in the right direction. I just need someone to help me pinpoint my next step.

Right now the rendering uses start and end angles to first make the top and bottom sections, fills them and then it makes an arc along the top of the slice from start to end then from end to start on the bottom slice and completes the polygon by going back the first point in the arc.

I need to make two separate polygons if the end or start are further from the center than the( tangent?) point. Need some advice.

Hope someone has an idea.

I can't wrap my head around this at the moment so with the hope of finding someone willing to take a stab I am posting this to all of you.

I need to create a savings ticker that shows $ saved per second.

The data is as follows

then = date script is created
now = current date
std = savings to date in $
avg = average savings per second in $

It would need to calculate the difference in time between then and now, convert that to an integer that can then be multiplied by avg then std would be added.

thanks in advance

Either I made an uh-oh, or there is a serious problem with Javscripts math functions. Math.sin(x) returns the sine of x in radians. Last time I checked, the sine of pi radians is 0, but in javascript:
Code:

Math.sin(Math.PI) // returns 1.2246467991473532e-16

Any idea why?

I'm a student learning javascript, I'm having a very basic problem. I have to write a script that outputs XHTML text that keeps displaying in the browser window that multiples of the integer 2, namely 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, etc.

This is the code i have,

Code:

<!--
        var product=2; 

	    while {	
		product =2*product; 
	     }
		
             document.writeln( +product+ );
// -->

And it pretty much does nothing. Help would be much appreciated

I'm new to programming and can't figure out why this won't work:

Code:

print "   var 1A == Math.sqrt(Math.pow(B,2) - Math.pow(C,2)); \n";
print "   var 1B == Math.sqrt(Math.pow(A,2) + Math.pow((F + G),2)); \n";
print "   var 1C == B + D; \n";
print "   var 1D == C - B; \n";
print "   var 1E == E; \n";
print "   var 1F == (Math.sqrt(Math.pow(C,2) - Math.pow(A,2)) - G); \n";
print "   var 1G == (Math.sqrt(Math.pow(C,2) + Math.pow(A,2)) - F); \n";
print "   var 1H == ((F + G) / B); \n";

I have tried debugging it using Firebug and I get this error:
Quote:
identifier starts immediately after numeric literal
I get the error on the line with var 1A, but I'm pretty sure that 1B, 1F, and 1G would all have the same error. Thanks for the help in advance guys!

BTW the reason why the code is being printed is because I'm programming with Perl and running on a webpage using html and javascript.

i had to create a function to calculate percentage and round to integer

need 2 parameters of item and sum
function will return value of item variable divide the sum by 100 and round to nearest integer

using Math.round

this is my code that i came up with

Code:

function calcPercent(item,sum){ // script element to calculate the percentage which is rounded to the nearest integer
     var items = Math.round( (item/sum)*100); // script element to get the percentage
return items;
}
     calcPercent(1, 3);

Does this make sense?
thanks

ok so heres where I stand, I don't know too much about javascript. Just enough to get me by. I am a PHP developer, I know how to do this in PHP but the client insists on doing it through javascript.

Basically there are 3 different form values that determine the Premium Death Benefit Ratio.

This is the formula the client wants:
Premium to Death Benefit Ratio % (Created by formula = Annual (Level) Premium Amount (Divided by) Death Benefit Amount (equals a percentage) That percentage multiplied by Life Expectancy

The 3 form values in the formula would be Annual Premium Amount (fypremium), Death Benefit Amount (dbp), Life Expectancy (average_le)

I was messing around with javascript trying to figure it out and I have gotten no where since I am not used to writing formulas in JS. Anyways here is what I have so far:

Code:

function calculateLE(inputFieldId1, inputFieldId2, inputFieldId3, outputFieldId){
	var DBR;
	
	var input = document.getElementById(inputFieldId).value;
	
	APA = document.getElementById(fypremium).value;
	DBA = document.getElementById(dbp).value;
	LE  = document.getElementById(average_le).value;
	
	formula = document.getElementById(fypremium).value / document.getElementById(dbp).value = formula3;
	formula2 = document.getElementById(average_le).value * formula3;
	
	if { APA = "" } {
		document.getElementById(outputFieldId).value = "Error getting Annual Premium Amount";
	}
	else if { DBA = "" } {
		document.getElementById(outputFieldId).value = "Error getting Death Benefit Amount";
	}
	else if { LE = "" } {
		document.getElementById(outputFieldId).value = "Error getting Life Expectancy";
	}
	else {
		document.getElementById(outputFieldId).value = formula3;
	}
}

Now I honestly have no clue if I am on the right track but what i've found on the net hasnt really pointed me in the right direction

Here is the form values.

Code:

<input type="text" name="fypremium" id="fypremium" onblur="calculateLE('fypremium', 'dbp', 'average_le', 'premium_dbr')">
<input type="text" name="dbp" id="dbp" onblur="calculateLE('fypremium', 'dbp', 'average_le', 'premium_dbr')">
<input type="text" name="average_le" id="average_le" onblur="calculateLE('fypremium', 'dbp', 'average_le', 'premium_dbr')">

In a nut shell the values for the 3 inputs stated above will determine premium_dbr's value.

fypremium / dbp = percentage;
average_le * percentage = DBR (death benefit ratio);

If someone could point me in the right direction to finishing this id be very greatful.

Hi. I am new to javascript programming so please go easy on me. I am creating a site for a flooring store and need to include a price calculator/estimator.
What I need to do is allow the visitor to input the room size (length x width) and choose a flooring material from a pulldown list, and receive a price.
The pulldown list would have flooring materials such as carpet, tile, wood, etc and each of these would have a fixed dollar amount associated with them (which would be hidden).
So basically it is just a script that would multiply 3 numbers, with two of the numbers being input by the visitor, and th tird being selected from the pulldown.
Can someone please educate me on how to do this?

Im trying to get all of these math functions into one table with each one going into an individual row. The following is what my Grad Assistant gave us as instructions..he is not real helpful..lol

The goal of project to is to create a webpage that makes use of javascript to perform a dynamic number of operations. The program must first ask for a number of operations to perform (n).It is therefore required that a loop construct be used. The program will then ask the user n times what operation they would like to perform and the appropriate inputs for that operation. All of the operations will use integer type inputs except ceiling, floor, and round which will use float types.
The required operations for this project will be

1. +
2. *
3. /
4. %
5. min
6. max
7. floor
8. ceil
9. round

The output of each operation will be stored in a table. The required outputs for each row are the operation requested, the expression for the operation showing its structure (see below), the result of the operation and additionally a random number. The random number should be within one and the number of operations requested. (ex: 5 operations requested, random number is in the range 0-5)
A sample of what this output will look like is shown here.

let me know if you can help it is much appreciated..the course book does not cover most of what is being taught and in class time could be better spent self taught! lol ..midterms suck and its almost time for the weekend so I could really use some help!! thx again

Hi. I'm in JS kindergarten.

I have a form with a field that asks for a full year. If the year is greater than 20 years ago, I'd like additional form fields to be revealed. If the year is equal to or less than 20 years ago, it will not reveal the fields. (And it should be based on getFullYear(), so I don't have to update the script every year, yeah?)

I figured out how to script onclick functions and some basic .value == functions in order to show/hide just about every type of form field. So I don't need that info. But I'm unsure of how to calculate the value. I'd be interested to see your solutions. No rush. Thanks in advance.

Code:

<script type="text/javascript">
function countItDown(){
	var current=parseFloat(document.getElementById("currentsecondscount").value);
	var seconds=current;
	document.getElementById("debug").innerHTML="S "+current;
	var minutes=Math.floor(seconds/60);
	document.getElementById("debug").innerHTML+="<br>M "+minutes;
	var hours=Math.floor(minutes/60);
	document.getElementById("debug").innerHTML+="<br>H "+hours;
	var days=Math.floor(hours/24);
	document.getElementById("debug").innerHTML+="<br>D "+days;
	var remainingseconds=seconds-(minutes*60);
	document.getElementById("debug").innerHTML+="<br>RS "+remainingseconds;
	var remainingminutes=minutes-(hours*60);
	document.getElementById("debug").innerHTML+="<br>RM "+remainingminutes;
	var remaininghours=hours-(days*24);
	document.getElementById("debug").innerHTML+="<br>RH "+remaininghours;
	
	if(days<10){ days="0"+days; }
	if(remaininghours<10){ remaininghours="0"+remaininghours;}
	if(remainingminutes<10){ remainingminutes="0"+remainingminutes;}
	if(remainingseconds<10){ remainingseconds="0"+remainingseconds;}
	
	document.getElementById("days").innerHTML=days;
	document.getElementById("hours").innerHTML=remaininghours;
	document.getElementById("minutes").innerHTML=remainingminutes;
	document.getElementById("seconds").innerHTML=remainingseconds;
	document.getElementById("currentsecondscount").value=(current-1);
}
</script>
.......
<input type="hidden" id="currentsecondscount" value="<?=$seconds;?>" />

Chrome/IE/etc on Left... FF 3.6.3 [windows] on Right


im not sure why Firefox is doing this. it seems to work fine on Firefox 3.6.3 for Mac...

I am at a lost, new to JavaScript and not sure why I am getting Nan

Code:

<script type="text/javascript">
    
    var num1;
    var num2;
    var num3;
    var ave_num=Math.round((num1 + num2 + num3) / 3);
    
    
//follow prompts to enter numbers and print average

    </script>

I have been asked by a friend to create a math sheet generator for their child, however i don't have a clue where to start with javascript.

Similar to this..
http://cemc2.math.uwaterloo.ca/mathf...sheetgen.shtml

It doesn't need to be advanced as that as all i'm looking for is how to create the sums.

If someone could help either by informing me where to start or even an online tutorial i would be extremely greatful!

Many thanks,
James
