How To Determine If A Visitor Is Using A Phone Or Computer	View Content

Hi everyone,

Is it possible to determine at the startup of the page if the visitor is using a computer or a phone to access the site?

I would like to make the intro process much better than a simple "click here for HTML version or click here for Flash version". I would like for it to simply redirect to the page I set it to go to depending on whether or not they're using a regular browser or a mobile browser.

How would I go about this?

Thank you all very much in advance.

Computer Object

Hey guys,

I need to create a constructor for a computer object. This object must have three properties: speed, and mem_live mem_dead. Then I need to create a new object using this constructor and then have its properties displayed on the screen.

Look at what I'm up to so far:

Quote:
function Computer(speed, mem_live, mem_dead)

{
this.speed = speed;
this.mem_live = mem_live;
this.mem_dead = mem_dead;
}

var computer1 = new Computer("4.0ghz", true, false);

document.write(computer1.speed + " " + computer1.mem_live + " " + computer1.mem_dead);
What am I doing wrong? It always just shows : 4.0ghz, true, false

Visitor Welcome Message

Hi all new guy on the block here,

I've got a website, and I want to add a welcoming message which hovers on a certain part of the page which only loads for the visitor for the first time they login, and won't again(presumably cookies used). And says something like "adjust your settings here.." I don't want it to be an external popup but something that loads on the page in a certain area, defined by me (PX-pixle reference)

I think i nutted something out in a bit of PHP, this is what i've got so far
PHP Code:
<?php
    if (firstLogin()){
        genSpecial(***load jquerie or css etc***);
    }
    else{
        genRegular();
    }
?>

can anyone help me figure out how to make this all work and load a box from jquerie or something similar? thanks

How To Get Visitor's Country?

View Content

First off, I'm working with tumblr.com which allows Javascript, but not PHP embedded in the HTML pages. It strips them out.

I want to be able to get the country code (us, ca, uk, etc.) when a visitor visits my webpage so I can provide links for their locale.

I'm having a very hard time finding correct information with examples to get this working. There was some .js libraries out there, but they don't work properly and say I'm in CA when I'm in US, like the jsapi from Google.

Is there a way to execute a .php script which would output the country code of the visitor and be able to read/capture this result within the Javascript?

Thanks in advance.

How To Determine If Someone Clicks Outside Of A Textbox

Similar Tutorials

View Content

Hi,

I have a click event that changes an element from a span that acts like a text link, to a textbox that the user types in:

Code:

Event.add(area_el_rename, 'click', function(e) 
			{
				if(!currently_renaming)
				{
					area_el.innerHTML = '<textarea name=\"renaming_area\" id=\"renaming_area\" style=\"width:100px;height:10px;background-color:#DCDCDC; resize:none;font-size:8px;\"></textarea><br>';
					currently_renaming=true;
				}
			});

I am wondering if there is any way to determine if the user has clicked outside the textbox, and if so, perform an action (in my case revert back to the <span>. The solution probably doesn't need to be tied to anything. It probably just has to be something like:

if(click_outside_id("renaming_area"))
{
//do my desired action
}

How To Determine A Page Offset?

THIS IS NOT HOMEWORK

Hi all,

See this image:

The image represents an "entire" web page and the bright part the area currently scrolled into by the web browser.

I can get the client's screen SIZE, but I don't know how to figure how many pixels down into a page the browser happens to be.

To clarify, the distance shown as a question mark would be "zero" if the browser were scrolled all the way to the top of the page and some positive number as the browser scrolls down.

Is there any way for me to get this number (in Javascript).

What I need it for is to position a pop-up window centered left-to-right and 1/3-2/3 top to bottom on the screen REGARDLESS of where in the page the browser is scrolled.

Thanks.....

so here is my "Project

http://sw.cs.wwu.edu/~strickk/Project2/project2.html

and here are the directions where im stuck at, just right click view source to see the code. I believe what i am doing wrong is where i enter my variables and i dont know how to get an alert message to pop up using an if statement as well as getting the values for the distances to show up correctly

directions:

8. Now we will write some JavaScript to validate the input. We don’t want the user to be able to enter the same origin and destination city when they book a ticket. So we will use an if statement to check that. If they have entered the same origin and destination city then we will tell them that by using an alert statement and make them select again.
All of your code to validate the input code goes in between the single quotes of the onClick event in the Calculate Fare button.
Follow these steps:
a) Assign the value of the origin city to a variable called origin
Note that the value that gets assigned to origin is actually 0, 60, 90, 120 or 150 (and NOT Bellingham, Everett, Seattle etc.) since the value we gave to the each element of the list was its distance from Bellingham. This will make our lives easier later when we compute the fare.
b) Assign the value of the destination city to a variable called destination in a similar fashion.
c) Write an if statement that will test whether origin is equal to destination and if it is then do two things.
i. Issue an alert message that says
Please input different origin and destination cities
ii. Stop the execution of the JavaScript code in the onClick event. Use return; as the second statement inside the if statement. Remember to use curly braces to denote that two statements are contained within the if statement. Your if statement will have the following structure to it.
if (<put the test you want to do here>)
{
alert(<put the message here>);
return;
}

I need to use Javascript to validate 3 textboxes, whereby the users can only key in numbers (because they are phone numbers related fields). If any of the textbox is empty, display an alert message to show which textbox is empty. I do not want to show many alert messages to show that, for example, text1 and text2 are empty, it will show two alert messages. I would need to show one "summarized" alert message instead.

Next, check if the textbox matches the pattern (which is to check if it has the skeleton of a phone number). If it is, show an alert message that it is alright. Else, show that it does not match.

Arrrgggghhhhhhhhh - help.... - LOL

Now I've got that over with, hope someone can help.

Am just learning regular expressions and am trying to validate UK format telephone numbers (have had an extensive look on the web and only examples I can find are US tests). Anyway, I want to learn to do it myself.

UK phone number rules a

Must start with a 0 in position 1
Next 2 to 4 characters must be a number
Next character can be a space or a dash
Next 6 to 9 characters can be a number, space or dash only

Anyway, as I say, am new to regular expressions and trying to learn so I tried to write the expression to fit the rules above - see below:

Code:

^[0]{1}\d{2,4}\s|-{1}\d|\s|-{6,9}$

My logic (for what it's worth - LOL) tells me this should work, but it doesn't - it accepts letters as well - which I really don't understand yet.

Anyway - hope someone can help.

Thanks
