JavaScript - Using Form Elements In Array

I tried the following code based on a post I saw somewhere else about summing all the elements of an array together. When I tried it though I couldn't seem to get it working. Can someone please point out what I did wrong or tell me a different way to sum array elements together? Thanks.
Code:

<script type="text/javascript">

Array.prototype.sum = function() {
for (var i = 0, L = this.length, sum = 0; i < L; sum += this[i++]);
return sum;
}

var myArray=[1,2,3,4,5];

document.write(myArray.prototype.sum);

</script>

Hi again!!
This is my code to add and delete dynamic rows and auto calculate the amount field by multiplying qty and rate.

PHP Code:

I would like to know that how can I show the value of all the elements in array "amount" in total field??

I'm using the jquery plugin found here. I love the look but I have a form that uses functions like this:

Code:

function cascadeCountry(value) {
   if (document.getElementById("srchlookstate_province") != null) {
      http.open('get', 'cascade_search.php?a=country&v=' + value );
      document.getElementById('srchlookstate_province').innerHTML="  "+loadingTag;
      http.onreadystatechange = handleResponse;
      http.send(null);
   }
}

So, when you select a country and it retrieves the state/province text input, the jquery css is not applied to it. Is there something I need to add to the code above or to the jquery initialization code he

Code:

$(function() {
	$("form.jqtransform").jqTransform();
});

Hey guys. I need a little help with checking elements in my array. I created an array of size 50 and initialized all elements to 1. What i want to do is if the user types in the number "1" into the prompt box, i want it to check the first 15 elements and increase only one of the elements by 1, and if the element has already been increased by 1 then i want it to check the next element and see if its been increased, if the element has been increased then it needs to move on to the next one and check that. If the element is 1, then it can be increased by "1", if the element is 2 then i need it to check the next element. If all elements within the first 15 have increased by 1, it should just alert the user that all slots have been assigned. Is there a way to do this? Thanks for your time

Hey All,

I have completed most of a homework assignment that I am working on. I am able to .push desired elements into an array:

Code:

//Insert variable into the Array
function insertElem(){
	//Insert and sort first array, but not second array
	if(nameInput.value != ""){
		studName2.push(nameInput2.value);
	}
	else{
		alert("Value to be inserted cannot be Null");
	}
	
	//Refresh display area
	clearAndShow2();
}

What I would like to do is be able to store and display the created array "permanently" until I decide to remove the elements. My current method to hold the elements, until the page is refreshed, is:

Code:

//Refresh second array
function clearAndShow2(){
	nameInput2.value = "";
	messageBox2.innerHTML = "";
	messageBox2.innerHTML += "Groups: " + "<br />" + studName2.join("<br />") + "<br />";
}

I appreciate the assistance.

Hi All,

Simple newbie question here - I want to initialize an array with "myString.length" elements, and I want every element to be prepopulated with "*" instead of blank. Is there any way of doing this? Code:

 

var myString = '123456';

var trialVar = new Array[myString.length]
	
document.write('TEST ' + '<BR><BR>' + trialVar);

(I want every element of trialVar to be "*", I cant just manually add them as myString.length will vary)

Any help would be mega appreciated - thank you

Hi Guys

I am new to javascript programming and I am trying to get elements from one array to another, here is an example of what I am trying to do;

Code:

oneArray[0] = anotherArray[10];

Essentially, moving the data in index 10 of anotherArray to the index 0 of oneArray. I have tried using a variable as a place holder such as;

Code:

placeHolder = anotherArray[10];
oneArray[0] = placeHolder;

I know i'm doing something idiotic somewhere along the line, I just can't figure out what I need to do.

Years ago I created HTML that employs checkboxes and textboxes. I am now writing JS with the intention of adding flexibility and limiting redundancy. I am not sure I truly understand how to correctly interact the two though. For example, one of my scripts have arrays that contain the names of the checkboxes and textboxes, with a 'for' loop to document.write() them to references within the HTML code. This does not seem to be working for me though. Here is what I have thus far (in short):

Code:

<script language="javascript"> 
var teamNames = new Array(3);
 
teamNames[0]="South Africa";
teamNames[1]="Mexico";
teamNames[2]="Uruguay";

for (i=0; i<=31; i++) {
document.write("<p>" + teamNames[i] + "<\/p>");
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<tr><td>Jun 11</td><td><input type="checkbox" 
name="teamNames[0]" value="teamAbbr[0]"></td>
</body>

I've left out a lot of the code (to include the teamAbbr array, but you get the points. I've tried moving the JS within the HTML body and playing with the reference syntax, but nothing so far. Any help would be great!

i would like to change certain style elements of the array each time the button is clicked. I have 5 color sets i would like use for the page, so i would like the button to trigger the color change in a loop, ie when the last color group is reached, the next click returns to the original color set and it continues again.

This is a demo page, not for actually publication. I am trying to teach myself javascript and this is an idea that came to me.

The things i want to change are the background color of two div's and the top row of a table. My style sheet is seperate, and I will also do the same for the javascript once I can get it to work properly.

Thank you in advance for any help.

I'm writing a simple Chess Record keeping app (still ), and i'm having a problem with the Screen.X and Screen.Y variables to compare with the coordinate variables stored in an Array.
The project is a little large, so here's the live version (on my website). Though it will only work if you run it from your local disk.

http://daomingjin.googlepages.com/ScoreMate.html

the zip archive of this is he

http://daomingjin.googlepages.com/ScoreMatev1.zip

the main JavaScript function file is he

http://daomingjin.googlepages.com/Core.js

the particular function in question is this:

Code:

var PieceThere = isPieceHere(ClosestX, ClosestY);


function isPieceHere(x, y)
{
 // Test to see if there is an Element at  point  x,y
 for (var i = 0; i < 32; i++)
     {
	  if (PieceLocationXcoord[i] == x)
	     {
	      if(PieceLocationYcoord[i] == y)
		     {
			  // There is a piece there
			  var Result = "True";
			 }
		 }
	 }
return Result;
}

i have placed alert() boxes in many places in the code above, and i can tell the following:
the function is being activated the coordinates of x and y are able to be accessed inside the function the arrays called PieceLocationYcoord and PieceLocationXcoord both have the values in them that are returned by the ClosestX and ClosestY function
however, every time , the function continues to return "Undefined". I have even tried manually setting var Result = "True" inside the last if-then block, and still returns undefined.
i have also tried using the alert box inside this function (before the variable return Result; is called) and still get undefined as the message from the alert box.

I wrote js functions to reset a php form (multiple questions). The below works:

Code:

function resetForm(){
  	   resetGroup(document.forms[0].answer1);
  	   resetGroup(document.forms[0].answer2);
	}

Answer1 and answer2 are the elements of $_POST array. (<input name="answer1"> in php). In this example, I tried with only two questions, but I have up to 35 questions in one form. Instead of writing the above resetGroup() 35 times, I want to for-loop it. I tried

Code:

function resetForm(){
	   for (var i=1; i<3; i++){
  	   resetGroup(document.forms[0]."answer"+i);
	}

That didn't work. Could someone help me to make the loop work? Or would someone have better or simpler idea? Thanks.

Hi all,

Forgive my ignorance, I'm quite new to Javascript...

I'm looking to do two things: the first is to move elements of an array to the next index using a function. I have managed to do this like so:

Code:

var letters = ['h','i','j','k'];
function moveElements(anArray){

var newArray = anArray;
newArray.unshift(newArray[newArray.length-1]);
newArray.pop();
}
moveElements(letters);

(this may or not be great, but it seemed to work) ... but I want the original array to reset to its original state if the function is called again (thus producing the same answer as opposed to shifting the elements again).

Secondly, and this is the bit I'm really struggling with: I want to compare each letter of a string to elements within an array and display the indices. For instance:

Code:

var myArray = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e', 'f'];
var text = 'dead';

Hence I want the result '3,4,0,3'.

I know the answer will use for and if statements but I can't wrap my head around it at all. Help would be appreciated, thank you.

I have one question about <style> elements, are they counted in document.styleSheets array? and can I add rules to them by using insertRule() and deleteRule() methods?

Here is the code in question:

Code:

for (var x = 2; x < 6; x++) {
  var form = document.playerAction["action" + proNum];
  form[x] = null;
  form[x] = z[x-2];
  if (Player[x-1].health == 0) { form.splice(x-2,1) }
}

The code retrieves document.playerAction["action1"] (A select input type) and removes options 2-end (there is a max of 6). Then, if a certain player (x-1 causes it to loop 1-4) has a health of 0, it splices out that element).

Everything works fine, except I get an error saying that
"Object #<an HTMLSelectElement> has no method 'splice' "
and it refuses to execute the if.

How do I work around this?
