JavaScript - Replacing A Name With Variable Contents

hi,

I am curious about the use of appendChild() here... I have a solution that does what I want it to do, like this:

Code:

var sidebarEntry = createSidebarEntry(poly, html);
sidebar.appendChild(sidebarEntry);
sidebar.replaceChild((sidebarEntry),sidebar.firstChild);

but it seems to be going the long way around. Not that it matters much (I guess), but all I want to do is to add an item to the sidebar and when a new item is added, remove the existing one.

I tried just using relaceChild() on its own, but the code seems to need something to be replace... Is the above the best way to do it? Or is it possible to set the child to some dummy position like null to begin with, so that the code is not constantly reloading and replacing items (which is what I understand is going on now)?

here's the page I'm working on, if you want to see the rest of the code.

I appreciate any thoughts.

Hi,

I am quite new to JS and is currently building a website with a little of JS Function. Ok, so I have a Page tat consists of 10 images. Each images when on mouse over, will display a larger version on the images, using JS(onmouseover).

Then, I will have a next button that will replace all the images, using Ajax, which means my page will not be reloaded. The problem comes here when I have to replace all the onmouseover effect.

I can replace all the thumbnails without problem, but the onmouseover I have problem replacing. Is there anyway that I can dynamically replace all the onmouseover?

Any help will be appreciated. Thanks

Hey guys...

Basically I need a function that will remove numerous elements from a page based on their class. I then also need a function to bring those elements back afterwards. If anyone is wondering, I'm trying to add buttons to remove/add images.

Thanks!

I have the following code that works fine:

Code 1
Code:

<script type="text/javascript">
  AJS.AEV(window, 'load', function() {
          GB_show("Special Presentation", "http://www.site.net/temp/images/ads/special.jpg", 352, 600);
     }); 
</script>

I also have the following code that works fine:

Code 2
Code:

function DoTheCookieStuff()
{
 visited=getCookie('visited');
 if (visited==null) 
 {
setCookie('visited','yes',365)
 MyWindow=window.open('http://www.site.com','MyWindow','toolbar=yes,location=yes,directories=no,status=yes,menubar=yes,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,width=640,height=480,left=1,top=1'); 
 }
}

However, I want to replace the blue code in the Code 2 immediately above that opens the window with the red code in the Code 1 section that opens the GreyBox window. I tried the following but it's just not working:

Code:

function DoTheCookieStuff()
{
 visited=getCookie('visited');
 if (visited==null) 
 
 {
 setCookie('visited','yes',365)
 AJS.AEV(window, 'load', function() {
          GB_show("Special Presentation", "http://www.site.net/temp/images/ads/special.jpg", 352, 600);
     });
 }
}

Thank you.

Hi,

I know how to replace all the + signs in a url string by spaces, like this:

newstring=oldstring.replace(/[+]/g," ");


but how do I replace a substring by a comma easily? This doesn't do it:

newstring=oldstring.replace(/[&menuitems]/,",");


Thanks in advance for any help.

I have 16 links on a page, when each link is clicked, I need to change text that is on the page.

This is Page 1

link 1 This Is Page 1
link 2 This is Page 2
...
link 16 This is Page 16

How can I do this?
Excuse my ignorance, this is my first JS project

I'm a bit of a Javascript noob, so please bear with me!

I'm trying to create a piece of code that will check a webpage and replace any instances of a specific line of HTML with another line of HTML.

The code I have so far doesn't work, but I have a feeling that's down to my awful Javascript skills!

For example, in the following code I'd want to replace all instances of <li><a href="index.pdf">Index</a></li> with <li><a href="contents.pdf">Contents</a></li>

Code:

<div id="downloads">
    <p>Please click on your downloads below:</p>
    <ul>
        <li><a href="index.pdf">Index</a></li>
        <li><a href="chapter1.pdf">Chapter 1</a></li>
        <li><a href="chapter2.pdf">Chapter 2</a></li>
        <li><a href="chapter3.pdf">Chapter 3</a></li>
        <li><a href="credits.pdf">Credits</a></li>
    </ul>
</div>

The Javascript I have so far is:

Code:

<script type="text/javascript">

var aEls = document.getElementsByTagName('a');
for (var i = 0, aEl; aEl = aEls[i]; i++) {
	aEl.href = aEl.href.replace('index.pdf','contents.pdf');
			
}

Obviously this is meant to just replaces the a href elements, but I got a bit stuck after this!

Any pointers would be much appriciated.

Hi. I have the following line in my HTML file <table class="bz_buglist" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="4" width="100%">
And I need to use javascript to change this line to <table id="main_table" class="bz_buglist" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="4" width="100%"> . I just need to add the ID part.

How can I do this? Is there a method of replacing the line, or a way to "add attribute"? thanks!

kev.

Ok, i have a javascript that creates a table then appends it to an empty div. This works fine in FF, however it fails to work in IE8.
[edit]
I have decided to post the entire code since I wasn't having any luck getting any suggestions. Maybe now someone can help me out.

Code:

function createTable() {
var machine = document.Catalog.machine.value;
var dSearch = document.Catalog.dSearch.value;
var section = document.Catalog.section.value;
var x = xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName('record');
var y = xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName('data');
var newEl = document.createElement('TABLE');
newEl.className = 'resultsTab';
var tmp = document.createElement('TBODY');
newEl.appendChild(tmp);
var row = document.createElement('TR');
var n = 1;
var headings = new Array("Col1", "Col2", "Col3", "Col4", "Col5");
var dcount = 0;
//for (t=0;t<10;t++) {
for (t=0;t<y[0].childNodes.length;t++) {  
	if (y[0].childNodes[t].tagName == "record") { // it is required for FF to work properly
		dcount++;
	}
}
if (document.Catalog.thumbImg[0].checked) {  
	var container = document.createElement('TH'); 
	var theData = document.createTextNode("Pic"); 
	container.className = "topline1"; 
    container.appendChild(theData);
    row.appendChild(container);
}
for (h=0;h<headings.length;h++) {
     var container = document.createElement('TH');
     var theData = document.createTextNode(headings[h]);
	 container.className = 'topline' + n;
     container.appendChild(theData);
     row.appendChild(container);
	 n++;
}
tmp.appendChild(row);
switch (searchtype) {
    case 1:
	var objRegex = new RegExp(machine);
    break;
    case 2:
	var objRegex = new RegExp(section, "i");
    break;
    case 3:
	var objRegex = new RegExp(dSearch, "i");
	break;
    default:
	document.getElementById("replaceTxt").innerHTML = "<p>There was an error processing your request.</p>";    
}
var rowColor = 1; 
var noResult = "false"; 
for (i=0;i<dcount;i++) {
	var row = document.createElement('TR');
	var searcharr = new Array();
   	for (j=0;j<x[i].childNodes.length;j++) {  
    	if (x[i].childNodes[j].nodeType != 1) continue;  
		searcharr.push(x[i].childNodes[j].firstChild.nodeValue);
	}
	var searchstrg = searcharr.toString();
	if (searchstrg.match(objRegex)) { 
		var t;
	 	var m=1;
		if (document.Catalog.thumbImg[0].checked) { 
			var pn = "images/"+searcharr[2]+".jpg"; 
			var container = document.createElement('TD'); 
			var refLink = document.createElement("A");
			refLink.setAttribute('href', "javascript:viewImg(\""+pn+"\")");
			var imgHolder = document.createElement("IMG"); 
			imgHolder.setAttribute("src", pn); 
			imgHolder.style.height = "75px";  
			refLink.appendChild(imgHolder); 
			container.appendChild(refLink);   
			container.className = "img"+rowColor; 
			row.appendChild(container);
		}
		for (t=0; t<searcharr.length; t++) {
	    	container = document.createElement('TD');
    		var theData = document.createTextNode(searcharr[t]);
			container.appendChild(theData);
			container.className = 'line' + rowColor + '_' + m;
			row.appendChild(container);
			m++;
		}
		tmp.appendChild(row);
		rowColor == 1 ? rowColor++ : rowColor--;
		document.getElementById("replaceTxt").innerHTML = "";
		document.getElementById("replaceTxt").appendChild(newEl);
		noResult = "true";
	} 
}
if (noResult=="false") { 
	document.getElementById("replaceTxt").innerHTML = "<h3>Sorry, there was no match to your search. &nbsp;Please try again</h3>";
}
}

xmlDoc is the xml object from my import xml function. it is working correctly. IE does not give any JS errors, it just does nothing. If I put text in the
Code:

document.getElementById("replaceTxt").innerHTML

field, IE displays the text in the correct spot so I know the code is working. I also verified the data is being written correctly to "newEl" via IE 8 debugger. IE just does not want to append the newEl child to the <div> tag. This is where I assume the problem is.

Hey folks. I currently have a PTZ camera that is taking screenshots every minute (or so) and sending a copy of that image (overwriting the previous one) to my website. Basically, the visitors to the website will be greeted with a live screenshot. The problem is if the visitor hits the website at just the right time, the screenshot won't be loaded completely while the 2nd most screenshot is being overwritten... creating an empty image load (the dreaded red X). What I am looking to do with Javascript is to be able to load a generic image in the scenario in which no image loads. Is that possible?

I tried doing something like the following and onload-ing it, but it wouldn't work. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Code:

<script type="text/javascript">
		<!--		
		function replaceSrc() {      
			var images = document.getElementsByTagName('img');      
			
			for(var i = 0; i < images.length; i++) {         
				var img = images[i];          
				if(img.src.length == 0) {             
					img.src = 'images/garbage.gif';         
					}     
				} 
			}   			
			
		-->
</script>

Code:

var bakaBanner;
bakaBanner = document.getElementById('head');
if (bakaBanner) {
var str=/\/images\/banners\/[A-Za-z0-9_]+.[a-z]+/;
document.write(str.replace(/\/images\/banners\/[A-Za-z0-9_]+.[a-z]+/, "http://img218.imageshack.us/img218/5904/revyblacklagoon1.png"));
}

Alright, here's the deal... This is a script to be used in Greasemonkey. The page this is for changes their banner every 5 minutes, the name changes and it could be either jpg or png.

I'm fairly certain my regex itself:
\/images\/banners\/[A-Za-z0-9_]+.[a-z]+
Is correct... Here's an example of what it's looking through:

Code:

<div id="head"  style="background-image: url(/images/banners/kiminitodoke.jpg);" >
	<div id="header_left">
		<div id="rss">

My guess is that it has something to do with this line:
document.write(str.replace(/\/images\/banners\/[A-Za-z0-9_]+.[a-z]+/, "http://img218.imageshack.us/img218/5904/revyblacklagoon1.png"));

I'm new with Javascript, so I don't really understand why it's not working... :/

Hi

I need to produce some code to get the contents of the particular TD I am running a function in.

I have the following code which works fine up the point of wanting to delete a row. In order to make it work again I have to go into the code and adjust all the numbers in the functions (not sure that's the correct terminology)

Code:

<head>

<script language='javascript'>

exchRate = '1.12'; 

function gettheUKP(which) {
// This is the line I think I need to change
 var x = document.getElementsByTagName("span")[which].innerHTML; 
var s = Math.round(x / exchRate);
	document.write('(&pound;' + s + ')')
}

</script>

</head>

<body>
<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" class="charges">
       <tr>
		  	<td><strong><span>368</span>&euro;</strong> <script type="text/javascript">gettheUKP(0);</script></td>
       </tr>
       <tr>
            <td><strong><span>471</span>&euro;</strong> <script type="text/javascript">gettheUKP(1);</script></td>
       </tr>
       <tr>
            <td><strong><span>598</span>&euro;</strong> <script type="text/javascript">gettheUKP(2);</script></td>
       </tr>
       <tr>
            <td><strong><span>720</span>&euro;</strong> <script type="text/javascript">gettheUKP(3);</script></td>
       </tr>
       <tr>
            <td><strong><span>998</span>&euro;</strong> <script type="text/javascript">gettheUKP(4);</script></td>
       </tr>
</table>
</body>

So in essence I think I need to change the highlighted line to say "get the contents on the span within this TD".

Is this possible?

Thanks

I'm working on stripping specific HTML tags in order to do a selected string comparison.
Stripping the tag, done.
Re-calibrating the selection start and end points, done.
Capturing the tags for re-insertion, done.
Getting the start point of the tag, done.

What I am having trouble with is finding the content between the tag so that I can put it back after altering the selected text.

<span class="something">find this content!</span>

Any ideas are more than welcome!
Thanks,

Hey all,
Hopefully I can explain this so it makes sense.

I have a div with some buttons in it going horizontally. Kind of like a top menu of sorts. The div is of a fixed width and these buttons are spaced evenly across it. What I would like to do (and the hardest part is finding the right words for all this) is add more buttons. But because of the limited space I want to leave the current buttons as they are but provide a way, either by hovering over the left or right end of the div ideally or clicking << or >> types of links to 'cycle' through the buttons. So end result would be the user would see lets say 5 buttons upon load but be able to access the other buttons by cycling/scrolling left or right. It would be great if the buttons would loop around so they would never reach the 'end' going left or right. Does this make sense? I haven't been able to find anything close to this but that could possibly be because I am not sure what to call it.

Thanks for any help!
