JavaScript - Mini Tabbed Pages

Hey I was hoping someone could help me.

I have written a form in HTML. But it is very long -

I would like to make it a Tabbed form so that at the top there is tabs for each section to make it more managable and less intimidating.

I figured it was probably Javascript - but I don't know JS so I was wondering what I would have to do for that form to be made?

Is there a predefined function or something or does anyone know how to code a form like that?

Regards,

Angelous

I had written written a JS which is all junk. I could manage to get tab stay selected when i click on it. I am not even in a position to post it here

Here is what I am looking for:

1) all the tabs open the search in a new window/tab on submit/click except for the "Blog" tab which opens the search within the same page

2) The search should be directed to different URLs based on the tab selection.
i.e. web = http://www.testexample.com/web/?q="Entered search term"&invocationType="testinv"
blog = /search/?q="Entered search term"&invocationType="testinv"
images = http://www.testimages.com/image/?q="Entered search term"&invocationType="testinv"
video = http://www.testvideos.com/video/?q="Entered search term"&invocationType="testinv"
products = http://www.testproducts.com/product/?q="Entered search term"&invocationType="testinv"

3) an the above is for the header search and footer search modules.

Could someone please please help me with some code to achieve this. I know I am asking for too much. But I am helpless. please help me.

Thanks

Hi guys, I want to make a website and instead of having individual pages for each page, I would like it all to be on one page. I want to use jQuery to switch between the different tabs but I also need it to be able to stay on that certain tab when the page is reloaded. I also need to be able to link to the certain tabs which I think would be accomplished by using ID tags. If anyone can help, that would be great.

Hi

This is what I would like to do:

1. Create a tabbed interface
2. All tabs but one must be able to be closed by clicking a link
3. User must be able to add additional tabs

I want this to be done in Javascript but I have no clue how to program in javascipt and tutorials I have seen do not go in to great detail since they just show you basics that a Kindergarten kid could use.

Please help

Thanks

Thank you .......

Hey everyone! This is my first post, so let me go ahead and say hey to everyone at the forums. I myself don't know a whole lot about programming/coding, but I do run my business completely off the internet so I'm not clueless. I have a firm grip on HTML, and I can edit CSS files usually whenever I need to. All my sites use Wordpress now anyway, so there's rarely any need to check or edit the code.

Anyways, to my dilemma. I basically have an old website of my own (http://www.knowtheirbackground.blogspot.com). It's a pretty old site I hosted on Blogger, and if anyone is familiar with Blogger it's pretty simple. I downloaded that theme from a site and since all Blogger themes are XML I never really looked at the code.

Basically, I want to have a menu like you see on the right of the site I linked you to. A tabbed javascript menu (from what I looked at of the code recently I thought the menu was pretty much made using javascript and css). I've tried Googling and Bing-ing and yahoo-ing tutorials to make a tabbed menu and haven't been successful yet. I want one that operates just like the one on Know Their Background, only things I would change is the text and maybe the colors. I've looked and tried for days and have been unsuccessful. Any help I would GREATLY appreciate.

P.S. I also tried using jQuery or something along those lines and nothing. Tried some wordpress plug ins too but they only work in widgets when they do work.. I want my menu in a sticky post on the front page.

I am trying to place a different google map in each tabbed of a spry tabbed panel. There is a known issue with google map V3 where the map will function properly on the default tab, but when the hidden tabs are unhidden, the map on those previously hidden tabs has centred in the very top left of the container div and only fills a small part of the container.

( www.kimholt.co.uk/locations demonstrates this, the London tab is fine, but the South West tab doesn't work properly).

I have spent hours on this bug so far, and tried many fixes. The only one that has got me anywhere so far is adding
[CODE]
google.maps.event.addListener(map, "idle", function() {google.maps.event.trigger(map, 'resize'); });

after var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById(canvas), myOptions);

[CODE]

This doesn't resize the map automatically, but will resize it if the map is dragged slightly by the user. It also still has the marker centred in the top left of the screen rather than the centre of the canvas. The following solutions have also been suggested:

Re-centrering the map around the marker

[CODE]
google.maps.event.trigger({map}, 'resize'); {map}.setCenter({marker}.getPosition());
[CODE]

Zooming in and out again to trigger the resize:

[CODE]
map.setZoom( map.getZoom() );
[CODE]

Or using this to do the same thing:

[CODE]
this.map.setZoom( this.map.getZoom() - 1); this.map.setZoom( this.map.getZoom() + 1);
[CODE]

Suggested for use if there are multiple markers:

[CODE]
map.setZoom(map.getZoom()); map.fitBounds(bounds);
[CODE]

I haven't been able to get any of these to work, but I'm not sure if I am using them in the right place in the javascript, and I'm also not sure if there are any parts of this code that need amending to make them work in my particular code. How can I get the map to automatically resize when the tab is selected? How can I get the map to automatically recentre around the marker when the map is opened? Being fairly new to this I really need someone to look at my actual code and help me work out exactly what to put where, in other words assume I know nothing and will be extremely grateful for any help!

Hi there!

I hope I posted this question in the right place. I've been working on a Spry Master/Detail region using Dreamweaver CS4 for months now and I just can't get it to work right. I know very little about coding Javascript; I'm altering a template from a tutorial book. Here's my problem:

I want at least 2 master/detail regions on a single page, each nested in a spry tabbed panel, and each filtered by a non-destructive filter. I'm having all kinds of trouble getting this accomplished.I did some troubleshooting and have pinpointed exactly where things go wrong.

First, I thought that the problem might be that both of my tables were on the same page as the master/detail regions, so I put them on their own pages. No problems there. Then I built one master/detail region, with selectable filter menu, in a spry tabbed panel. No problem. Then I started all over again, and built each master/detail region stepwise following the instructions in the book. The 2 master/detail regions, 1 in each tab, are no problem. Applying the non-destructive filter is where things get tricky for me.

When I apply the non-destructive filters, all of the data from the first table disappears! The table in the 2nd tab still works perfectly.

My 2 spry datasets are named rs_CasteAbilities and rs_ProfAbilities. Here's the code for just creating the 2 spry data sets:

[CODE] var rs_CasteAbilities = new Spry.Data.HTMLDataSet("gacasteabilitiesforactivetable.php", "GA_CasteAbilities");
var rs_ProfAbility = new Spry.Data.HTMLDataSet("gaprofessionabilitiesforactivetable.php", "GA_ProfAbilities"); [CODE]

No problems there. When I apply the nondestructive filter to the first spry dataset the first dataset filters just as it is supposed to and the second one does nothing, just as its supposed to. It looks like this:

[CODE] var rs_CasteAbilities = new Spry.Data.HTMLDataSet("gacasteabilitiesforactivetable.php", "GA_CasteAbilities");
rs_CasteAbilities.gallery = '1';
function chooseSet(dataSet, row, rowNumber)
{
if (row == rs_CasteAbilities.gallery) {
return row;
}
return null;
}
rs_CasteAbilities.filter(chooseSet);
var rs_ProfAbility = new Spry.Data.HTMLDataSet("gaprofessionabilitiesforactivetable.php", "GA_ProfAbilities"); [CODE]

The problem is that when I apply the same filter to the 2nd spry dataset, the 2nd dataset filters, but the first dataset totally disappears when I view the page (firefox and safari)! I can post screenshots if needed. Here's the code I'm using:

[CODE] var rs_CasteAbilities = new Spry.Data.HTMLDataSet("gacasteabilitiesforactivetable.php", "GA_CasteAbilities");
rs_CasteAbilities.gallery = '1';
function chooseSet(dataSet, row, rowNumber)
{
if (row == rs_CasteAbilities.gallery) {
return row;
}
return null;
}
rs_CasteAbilities.filter(chooseSet);
var rs_ProfAbility = new Spry.Data.HTMLDataSet("gaprofessionabilitiesforactivetable.php", "GA_ProfAbilities");
rs_ProfAbility.gallery = '1';
function chooseSet(dataSet, row, rowNumber)
{
if (row == rs_ProfAbility.gallery) {
return row;
}
return null;
}
rs_ProfAbility.filter(chooseSet); [CODE]

This problem has been stumping me for weeks and I'm getting to the point where I need to get this done. I hope that in my inexperience, I was able to communicate this problem articulately. Please somebody help!

Thanks so much to anyone who takes the time to help me out. The page itself, with nothing showing up in the first tab, can be viewed he

Hi,

I coded the following JavaScript:
Code:

var el = document.createElement("iframe");
el.setAttribute('id', 'ifrm');
document.body.appendChild(el);
el.setAttribute('height', 250);
el.setAttribute('width', 300);
el.setAttribute('frameborder', 0);
el.setAttribute('marginheight', 0);
el.setAttribute('marginwidth', 0)
el.setAttribute('src', 'http://example.com/?pub=1&format=image&size=300x250&url='+window.location);

And am putting it between <script type="text/javascript"> and </script> tags in the <body> section of my site. But, it only works in certain areas of the page. Can you guys think of any reason for this?

Let me know...
Thanks,
~Christian

Hi Forum,

to develop a "Digital Signage" applikation we need:

1) After loading the (main) html page get all the pages (.html, .pdf, .xls, .jpg) as members of the paylist.

- Is there a way to get the appr. 15 pages into the browser (as DOM Objects) ? Or rather to load in 15 iFrames ?

2) The mentionde pages should be displayed in a certain order (in ca. 20 sec tact).

- A possible solution would be to hide / unhide. Any other wy ?

Thanks in advance

Michel

how do i make something like this? so that instead of viewing a long list it will be divided into pages..?

How would you connect a HTML page wig a JavaScript page so a person could not reed JavaScript but it would still work.

Hi,

I know lot of scripts written by experts in JS that extracts urls from source code placed into DIV or TEXTAREA, but I would need just one to extract the links ending by ".html" or ".htm" or ".txt".

I would appreciate any helpful.

Just he!

Hi, I'm in year 11 studying GCSE Computing and I'm working on gathering some primary research for a project. I'd be really grateful if someone with experience in web developing would be able to explain to me some of the uses of JavaScript within web pages- what have you used it for specifically?
Also, any examples of how JavaScript is used outside of web pages would be really helpful.
Thank you!
