JavaScript - Color Not Defined?
I am writing a greasemonkey userscript that simply just takes the underlying width of a td tag, and prints the text in white font over the table so it is viewable to everyone. I wrote the following code
Code: function main() { var page = document.getElementById("container"); var td = page.getElementsByTagName("td"); for(i=0; i<td.length; i++) { if(td[i].background-color != "") { td[i].style.color = "#ffffff"; td[i].innerHTML = td[i].width; } } } however, When i installed the script.. firefox tells me that "color" is not defined. Is there another way of doing this? Just wanting the width is white font. Similar TutorialsHi! New to JS... have been trying to rework this to call additional, independent sets of colors to cycle through (so it would loop thru a set of grays, a set of primary colors, etc). I would use perhaps a different function name in the HTML to call different sets of colors. If this is more complex than I think it is, I think 3 sets would be plenty. Would be hugely grateful for any help, thanks so much in advance. (demo link of script in current state at bottom) Code: <html><head><title></title> <script language=javascript> colors = ["#cacdca", "#b2b4b2", "#969896", "#7d7f7d", "#ffff00"]; cRGB = []; function toRGB(color){ var rgb = "rgb(" + parseInt(color.substring(1,3), 16) + ", " + parseInt(color.substring(3,5), 16) + ", " + parseInt(color.substring(5,7), 16) + ")"; return rgb; } for(var i=0; i<colors.length; i++){ cRGB[i] = toRGB(colors[i]); } function changeColor(target){ var swapper = navigator.appVersion.indexOf("MSIE")!=-1 ? toRGB(document.getElementById(target).style.backgroundColor) : document.getElementById(target).style.backgroundColor; var set = false; var xx; for(var i=0; i<cRGB.length; i++){ if(swapper == cRGB[i]){ if(((i+1)) >= cRGB.length){ xx = 0; }else{ xx = i+1; } document.getElementById(target).style.backgroundColor = colors[xx]; document.getElementById(target).style.backgroundImage.show; set = true; i=cRGB.length; } } set ? null : document.getElementById(target).style.backgroundColor = colors[1]; } </SCRIPT> </head> <body bgcolor="#333333"> <div> <div id="a1" onmouseover=changeColor(this.id); style="left: 120px; background-image: url(background1.png); width: 180px; background-repeat: no-repeat; position: relative; height: 80px; background-color: none"></div> <div id=a2 onmouseover=changeColor(this.id); style="left: 120px; background-image: url(background2.gif); width: 180px; background-repeat: no-repeat; position: relative; height: 80px; background-color: #666633"></div> <div id=a3 onmouseover=changeColor(this.id); style="left: 120px; background-image: url(background3.png); width: 180px; background-repeat: no-repeat; position: relative; height: 80px; background-color: #666633"></div></div> </body> </html> Demo: http://theclutch.com/rollover_color_..._bgndimage.htm Hi, I'm faced with a problem trying to set background color under IE7. I have the following Javascript: Code: function showLayer793BKColor(id) { var txtObj = document.all(id); if (txtObj.style.display == 'none') { txtObj.style.display = '' txtObj.style.backgroundColor = 'grey'; } } function hideLayer793BKColor(id) { var txtObj = document.all(id); if ( txtObj.style.backgroundColor == 'grey' ) txtObj.style.display = 'none'; } These functions are used to show or hide div blocks. These blocks are, for example, specified in the following way: Code: <div id="l_gct5tekst" style="display:none"> <b>GCT 5. Eerste verkenning problematiek</b> and, for example, Code: <div id="l_Keuze" style="display:none"> <br/> <b>GCT 5</b> <br/> </div> The whole configuration works smoothly when using IE8. However, when using IE7 I get an error msg like "Invalid value for property". When I use the Color propert iso the BackgroundColor property I get no error anymore but of course I don't have a background color anymore then. In what way can I specify the use of a background color under IE7 ? Or is just not possible in one way or the other. Furthermore, what more differences between JS under IE7 and IE8 do I have to take into account ? Do I also have to rewrite my div block in some way (using some attribs ?) to cope with IE7 ? Thanks in advance, Diederick van Elst Code: $(document).ready(function(){ var theText=["Text one","Text two","Text three", "Text four"]; // Build the array of text var arrayRows = theText.length; //Get the length of the array (Note: This starts at 1 not 0 like the array) var i=0; //Set a counter document.getElementById('textHere').innerHTML =theText[i]; //Fill in the space with the first piece of text time = setTimeout("next()", 2000); function next() { if (i == (arrayRows-1)) { i = 0; }else { i++; } $("#textHere").fadeOut("slow", function(){ document.getElementById('textHere').innerHTML =theText[i]; $("#textHere").fadeIn("slow"); }); } function prev() { if (i <= 0) { // If its below 0 go to the max i = arrayRows-1; }else { i--; } $("#textHere").fadeOut("slow", function(){ //Fade out the area document.getElementById('textHere').innerHTML =theText[i]; //Change the text to the next piece of text $("#textHere").fadeIn("slow"); // Fade in the area }); } $("#prevText").click(function(e) { e.preventDefault(); // Stop the link being a link prev(); }); $("#nextText").click(function(e) { e.preventDefault(); next(); }); }); When i click the links the functions work, however the setTimeout doesnt, can anyone help me figure this out? JavaScript: Code: function test() { alert('dsd'); } HTML: Code: <a href="#" onClick="test()">Test Link</a> JS Error: Code: Error ``ReferenceError: test is not defined'' [x-] in file ``file:///C:/Users/Martyn%20Ball/Desktop/test.php#'', line 1, character 0. Okay wtf. Ok, I have an event handler for a click - ala: using prototype and here is a snippet. Code: spotL = some_length_of_an_array; $R(1,spotL).each(function(n) { $('spot_btn_' + n).style.display = 'block'; $('spot_btn_' + n).observe("click", function(){countdwn_clear();} ); }); Now, that code above fires off AFTER I call an init function that just runs thru some things... But not only that, that function "countdwn_clear()" loads before I call the code above... so its there. Now, the "element" I am trying to attach that event handler in an anchor tag in a UL element ala. Code: <ul id="buttons" style="display: none;"> <li id="spot_btn_1" class="selected"><a href="javascript://" id="btn1">1</a></li> <li id="spot_btn_2"><a href="javascript://" id="btn2">2</a></li> </ul> so, I originally thought it that I was trying to attach an event handler to an element in another that had a display of none -- so I switched it to block and I'd still get this error: countdwn_clear is not defined NOW -- if put this right below the function call, ala: Code: function countdwn_clear(){d_some_code_here} $$("#buttons li")[0].observe("click", function(){countdwn_clear();} ); $$("#buttons li")[1].observe("click", function(){countdwn_clear();} ); ^^^^ that works! why? In one case, i am calling it right below the function and I am using a different reference: $$("#buttons li")[1] in the code where I "build" it, I have: $('spot_btn_' + n).observe("click", function(){countdwn_clear();} ); ???? could it be the event is on the "li" instead of the "a" or ? I don't get it. Any ideas? Whole thread based on my mistake.

Hello again, CodingForums. I have a .php page that generates the following javascript which is intended to hide/show a form somewhere on the page. (It only shows right now because it's not done yet.) However, after the page is rendered and given to the client, the function calls do not work, and the error console reports that "[function name] is not defined." Code: <script type="text/javascript"> function showEdit(num) { var elem = document.getElementById("form-wrap"+num); var str = "<form action=\"./blog.php\" method=\"POST\" class=\"blogform\">"; str = str + "<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"u\" value=\"Webmaster\"/>"; str = str + "<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"q\" value=\"edit\"/>"; str = str + "<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"n\" value=\""+num+"\"/> str = str + "<label for=\"title\">Title</label>"; str = str + "<input type=\"text\" name=\"title\" value=\""+document.getElementById("title"+num).innerHTML+"\"/>"; str = str + "<label for=\"picture\">Picture</label>"; str = str + "<input type=\"file\" name=\"picture\"/>"; str = str + "<label for=\"caption\">Picture Caption</label>"; str = str + "<input type=\"text\" name=\"caption\" value=\""+document.getElementById("post-image"+num).getAttribute("title")+"\"/>"; str = str + "<label for=\"content\">Entry Text</label>"; str = str + "<textarea name=\"content\" cols=\"100\" rows=\"20\" class=\"blogtextarea\">"+document.getElementById("content"+num).innerHTML+"</textarea>"; str = str + "<input type=\"submit\" value=\"Edit Post\"/>"; str = str + "</form>"; elem.innerHTML = str; } function showDelete(num) { var elem = document.getElementById("form-wrap"+num); var str = "<form action=\"./blog.php\" method=\"POST\" class=\"blogform\">"; str = str + "<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"u\" value=\"Webmaster\"/>"; str = str + "<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"q\" value=\"delete\"/>"; str = str + "<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"n\" value=\""+num+"\"/> str = str + "<label for=\"really\">Delete this post?</label>"; str = str + "<input type=\"radio\" name=\"really\" value=\"Yes\">Yes</input><br/>"; str = str + "<input type=\"radio\" name=\"really\" value=\"No\" checked=\"checked\">No</input><br/>"; str = str + "<input type=\"submit\" value=\"Confirm\"/>"; str = str + "</form>"; elem.innerHTML = str; } function showNew(num) { var elem = document.getElementById("new-form-wrap"); var str = "<form action=\"./blog.php\" method=\"POST\" class=\"blogform\">"; str = str + "<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"u\" value=\"Webmaster\"/>"; str = str + "<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"q\" value=\"new\"/>"; str = str + "<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"n\" value=\""+num+"\"/>"; str = str + "<label for=\"title\">Title</label>"; str = str + "<input type=\"text\" name=\"title\"/>"; str = str + "<label for=\"picture\">Picture</label>"; str = str + "<input type=\"file\" name=\"picture\"/>"; str = str + "<label for=\"caption\">Picture Caption</label>"; str = str + "<input type=\"text\" name=\"caption\" />"; str = str + "<label for=\"content\">Entry Text</label>"; str = str + "<textarea name=\"content\" cols=\"100\" rows=\"20\" class=\"blogtextarea\"></textarea>"; str = str + "<input type=\"submit\" value=\"Create Post\"/>"; str = str + "</form>"; elem.innerHTML = str; } </script> These are all the elements that call the javascript functions.

(I'm not sure it's possible). (I know- for a normal variable there are no pointers in JS.) Normally, you can get an object reference: Code: obj.a = {...}; var pointer = obj.a; //now, changes to pointer cause changes to obj.a However, I would really like to be able to get a reference to a "variable" defined with a setter: Code: obj.__defineSetter__("a",function(input){...}); var pointer = obj.a; //but now: pointer = "..."; //does absolutely nothing! (as expected) Anyone know a way to do this? (without using __defineSetter__ to create pointer). If you are wondering, this is what I would like to be able to do: Code: obj = { a:function(value) { obj.other=value; this.__defineSetter__("a",function(input){ //do something with input, depending on obj.other //reset obj.other //reset obj.a to its original definition }); return ? //return pointer to obj.a } } obj.a("...") = OtherFunctionOutput(); obj.a("...2") = OtherFunctionOutput2(); //etc... (This would be extremely useful in the context I'm working with. Basically, obj.a would be oscillating between a function that modifies some obj properties and a variable that can be set using cleaner syntax than is otherwise possible.) (The simple alternative would look like: ) Code: obj.a("...",OtherFunctionOutput()); (But, I'd really like to get the syntax described above working, if possible) Thanks for any help anyone!

Hi all, I am relatively new to java; hence I know the basics, but have been thrown into trouble because I am currently working with a cms system that doesnt keep within the correct name conventions (pre defined). Within a form, I simply want to set a date to todays date: <script type="text/javascript"> function initdt(mf) { var t = new Date; mf.01-date.value = t.getDate(); mf.02-month.value = t.getMonth() + 1; mf.03-year.value = t.getFullYear(); } onload="initdt(document.WBForm);" </script> This works perfect on a form I create, but sadly I must use a form within a pre defined system that uses "01-date" Is there a way around this? A simple way of setting 01-date to t.getDate(); Your help will be very much appreciated Regards Damon Simpson Hello, I want to read tag values of an xml using xpath in firefox extension (basically javascript). The example from w3schools works perfectly fine as long as the XML does not have XMLNS attribute to the root element. The same example code does not work with xmlns attribute specified. Similarly, the xml I receive from my SOAP service has xmlns as below: <DescribeInstancesResponse xmlns="http://ec2.amazonaws.com/doc/2009-07-15/"> However, I am unable to read values from my xml, inspite of specifying a 'name space resolver'. I have tried with simple namespace resolver which just returns the above URI as a string and also tried creating NSResolver following the instructions given here. Could anyone help me how to solve this? Regards, vcage In jquery-1.4.2.js I find the following - - - hide: function( speed, callback ) { ... } - - - Where is this syntax defined? ... and is it semantically different than - - - function hide( speed, callback ) { ... } - - - I have a good understanding of javascript although I am new to working xml.

(snip) ] var i = 0; function writeDivs(){ document.write("<link href='css/css1.css' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css' />") while (i<=447){ document.write("<div class='posDiv' id='div"+i+"' onclick='javascript:if(\""+urlArray[i]+"\" != \"none\"){window["+urlArray[i]+"()]}' onmouseover='javascript:if(\""+urlArray[i]+"\" != \"none\"){this.style.cursor=\"pointer\"}' onmouseout='if(\""+urlArray[i]+"\" != \"none\"){this.style.cursor=\"default\"}'>"+textArray[i]+"</div>"); i++; } } The script as it appears here runs great in chrome, but Firefox tells me that "main" is undefined whenever I click or roll over the div, and IE says "object expected" when I click. "main" is the name of a function defined in an external js file (though pasting the function into the main document doesn't do anything). In fact, the whole of the above script may not even be relevant, since the following doesn't work either: Code: document.write("<div class='posDiv' id='div"+i+"' onclick='javascript:main()' >"+textArray[i]+"</div>"); I need a fresh set of eyes on this. Any volunteers? ~gyz |
