JavaScript - Simple Run Function On Pageload
Goodafternoon!
What im trying to do is get the users location (from the iPhone) which I have working and store it in a MySQL database (semi works). My problem is that to get the location, you need to use javascript. So I thought of using Ajax to post that back to the server. I have very little knowledge in Javascript, and Ajax, so this has been a bit of a struggle. Iv tried to learn how to do it with a tutorial: http://www.tizag.com/ajaxTutorial/ajax-javascript.php And this is what I got: PHP Code: <?php function is_iPhone($agent='') { if(empty($agent)) $agent = $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']; if(!empty($agent) and preg_match("~Mozilla/[^ ]+ \((iPhone|iPod); U; CPU [^;]+ Mac OS X; [^)]+\) AppleWebKit/[^ ]+ \(KHTML, like Gecko\) Version/[^ ]+ Mobile/[^ ]+ Safari/[^ ]+~",$agent,$match)) { return "YES"; } elseif(stristr($agent,'iphone') or stristr($agent,'ipod')){ return "MAYBE"; } else { return "NO"; } } echo is_iPhone(); ?> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//WAPFORUM//DTD XHTML Mobile 1.0//EN" "http://www.wapforum.org/DTD/xhtml-mobile10.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <title>iPhone 3.0 geolocation demo</title> <meta content="width=device-width; initial-scale=1.0; maximum-scale=1.0; user-scalable=0;" name="viewport"/> </head> <body> <script language="javascript" type="text/javascript"> <!-- //Browser Support Code function ajaxFunction(){ var ajaxRequest; // The variable that makes Ajax possible! try{ // Opera 8.0+, Firefox, Safari ajaxRequest = new XMLHttpRequest(); } catch (e){ // Internet Explorer Browsers try{ ajaxRequest = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP"); } catch (e) { try{ ajaxRequest = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP"); } catch (e){ // Something went wrong alert("Your browser broke!"); return false; } } } // Create a function that will receive data sent from the server ajaxRequest.onreadystatechange = function(){ if(ajaxRequest.readyState == 4){ document.myForm.time.value = ajaxRequest.responseText; } } ajaxRequest.open("GET", "UpdateLog.php?lat=" + Lat + "&long=" + Long + "&acc=" + Acc, true); ajaxRequest.send(null); } //--> var Lat = "" var Long = "" var Acc = "" function handler(location) { var message = document.getElementById("message"); message.innerHTML ='<img src="http://maps.google.com/maps/api/staticmap?center=' + location.coords.latitude + ',' + location.coords.longitude + '&zoom=12&size=400x400&markers=color:blue|label:S|'+ location.coords.latitude +','+ location.coords.longitude +'&sensor=true" alt="some_text"/>'; message.innerHTML+="<p>Longitude: " + location.coords.longitude + "</p>"; message.innerHTML+="<p>Latitude: " + location.coords.latitude + "</p>"; message.innerHTML+="<p>Accuracy: " + location.coords.accuracy + "</p>"; Lat = location.coords.latitude Long = location.coords.longitude Acc = location.coords.accuracy } navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(handler); ajaxFunction(); </script> <div id="message">Location unknown</div> <a href="#" onclick="ajaxFunction();" >Send</a> </body> </html> Now this works if the user clicks on "Send" that I made, but I want it to do it without the user having to click send. If anyone could help me with this, or point me in a different direction that would be better then your help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for your help. EDIT: The PHP side of this works, that is something I know about lol. Similar TutorialsAnother general question... i have to nest another page within an iframe. It's a calendar system, that will have different length pages, depending on what calendar item the user opens. Is it possible/feasible to write a javascript that resizes the iframe dimensions based on the height of the nested page each time a new page loads? Hi, i need a javascript for my website. what i wanna do is that when smone loads my website, the script initiate the left mouse click automatically. that is on page load mouse click is stimulated. dnt know if its possible or not. need help. Thanx in advance How would I add up a array of numbers in a function? My numbers keep getting written as strings, instead of adding onto each other. I am a beginner. function (myNumbers) { var number = [6,9,10,13,14]; var total = 0; for(var total=0; total < number.length; total = total + 1) { total = total + number; document.write(total); } } myNumbers(); This is just an excercise. Hello I would like to know how this is not functional. surely passing the function to another function would work so I can use the same variables without having to write it out again.

It seems like it would be something super simple. I need visitors to my site to be able to search if we offer service in their area. i.e. Enter Zip Code: [Search Field] (Submit Button) Pop-up results or a results page with one of two responses. Yes, we offer service. No, we do not cover your area. Something similar to what this company has on their site, http://www.oilpatchfuel.com/Pages/Welcome.aspx Any help is a greatly GREATLY appreciated!! I made a 50th anniversary guestbook to add memories/etc about our organization. The people can look at the entries and then if they want to add one of there own, there's a link that should pop up a form in a new for them to add it. I have no idea why this pop is not working in Internet Explorer (both IE6 and 7). It works beautifully in Firefox. I have no idea how you can go wrong with window.open. I'm stuck. Again, only the actual pop up function doesn't work. Everything else seems to be working fine. I included all of my code though even for the tab navigation because the link to the pop up form changes based on what tab they are in (i.e. if they're looking at the past memories tab and click on the link, it takes them to the past memories form). I know it's probably TMI on the code, but I thought it might be somehow related and better safe than sorry, right?

I'm trying to create a function that is triggered by a <select> onchange event. It's supposed to save the newly selected value in a variable, then refer the user to a link location + variable. This is what I tried: Code: <script type="text/javascript"> function categoryRef() { var a = this.options[this.selectedIndex].value; document.location = 'recommend.php?cat=' + a; } </script> <select name="category" onChange="categoryRef()"> <?php $getCategoryQuery = "SELECT category FROM categories ORDER BY category"; $ConnectQuery = $database->query($getCategoryQuery); while($category = mysql_fetch_array($ConnectQuery)){ if($getCategory == $category['category']){ echo "<option selected='selected'>" . $category['category'] . "</option>"; } else{ echo "<option>" . $category['category'] . "</option>"; } } ?> </select> When I try this and change option nothing happens. Any pointers? Hi, I have a small script that tries to open a child window. if successful, it then closes the child window and redirects the parent window. If this process fails, there is no child window, no redirection. the script below works fine in FireFox but in Chrome, if the process fails, the redirection still happens. I'm new to JS would appreciate your help many thanks Code: <script type="text/javascript"> function openwindow(){ testWindow = window.open("popup.php","interaction"); setTimeout(function() { testWindow.close(); },1000); setTimeout(function() { window.location = "http://www.google.com"; },1000); } </script> hi there i'm a newb so be nice lol --> I want to use javascript in an array to submit content.

I have a webpage and there are products for sale on it(this is not live it is merely being used as practice project). Beside each product is a description a price and an 'add to cart' button. My cart is simply a div with an id of 'cart' and it has a text box within it. I need the product name to be displayed within the div (this, I have working), I also need to display the product price in the text box once the button(add to cart ) for that particular product has been pressed. Also when the button for another product is pressed, I want the cost/value for that product to be added to the other value and displayed in the text box in the cart div... I apologise for rambling on but this is the best way of me explaining my needs.... Here's where i am right now.. The HTML snippet Code: <div id ="cart"> <p><img src="images/shopping-cart.png" alt ="cart"/>Your Cart</p> <div id="sum"><!--(this is the div where the total goes)--> <input type="text" id="total" value="0" /><p>€ Your Total <input type="reset" value = "reset" /></p> </div> </div> <h2 id ="black">Blackcurrent<br /></h2> <p>€ 12.00 <input type = "submit" value ="add to cart" onClick = "shoppingCart('Blackcurrent',12)" /></p> And the javascript: Code: alert ("working"); function shoppingCart (itemName,itemValue) { /* var thePrice = Number(itemValue); return thePrice;*/ document.getElementById ("cart").innerHTML += itemName + "<br/>"; document.getElementById('total').value = Number(document.getElementById('total').value) + itemValue; } I hope i have posted correctly and am aware that i have only posted a segment of the HTML..

So, 5 miles over the speed limit would be $100 (minimum value) 15 miles over the speed limit would be $150 (add a zero) 35 miles over the speed limit would be $350. etc. I know very little Javascript, if anyone could help me out with this, I'd appreciate it.

I am not a Javascript pro, but I am not a newbie either. here is the code I am working on: Code: function handleFileSelect(e){ var files = e.target.files; var output = []; for(var i=0,f;f=files[i];i++){ if(f.type.match('image.*')){ var reader = new FileReader(); reader.onload = (function(theFile){ return function(e){ var span = document.createElement('span'); span.innerHTML = ['<img class="thumb" src="',e.target.result,'" title="',theFile.nbame,'" />'].join(''); document.getElementById('list').insertBefore(span,null); }; })(f); reader.readAsDataURL(f); } } document.getElementById('list').innerHTML = '<ul>'+output.join('')+'</ul>'; } document.getElementById('files').addEventListener('change',handleFileSelect,false); To be a little more clear, the code in question is that is the very middle. The syntax I don't understand is: Code: class.event = (function(arguments){ //stuff you put in a function... })(more Arguments?); I tried to customize a simple one to learn for myself and I wrote this: Code: var a = 'A'; var b = 'B'; test = (function(t){ alert(t); alert(b); })(b); test(a); The browser would alert 'B' and that's it. The console would tell me that 'test is not a function.' OK, so I am confused. The topmost code works. What I am wondering is what the syntax is called for creating a function (or event listener?) that way, and how it works. Although if I new what it was called I could just google how it works. |
