JavaScript - Having Trouble Getting A Date

Using Adobe Form Javascript validation, how would I do this code for Visual Basic in Javascript (non web)

Code:

If PurchaseDate.Value > Date Then
MsgBox ("PurchaseDate cannot be greater than Today's Date!")
Cancel = True
End If

Something along these lines but this isnt working:

Code:

If (PurchaseDate.Value > Date) Then 
{
app.alert ("Purchase Date cannot be greater than Today's Date!");
}

Thanks

Hi,

I've inherited a Form which calculates a future date based on a calculation and then inserts today's date and the future date into a database. The day part of the date is formatted as a number. This is fine, but up to 9 the numbers display in single figures with no leading zeros. I want them to display leading zeros (e.g. 01, 02, 03, 04, 05, 06, 07, 08, 09, 10, 11... 30, 31)

So;
1/12/2010 is NOT wanted
01/12/2010 IS wanted

The inherited code originally set the Month names as "Jan", "Feb" etc, and it was easy to kludge these to 01, 02... 12, but I suspect there's a more elgant solution to this as well, this bit of the code works so it's not as vital to neaten this but my database needs dd/mm/yyyy format (it's a third party email program).

Code:

 </script>

<script type="text/javascript">
var todaysDate = new Date();

function updateExpiryDate(){

	var weeklyMileage = document.getElementById('AvWeeklyMileage').value;
	var expiryDate;
	var weeks = 0;
	var expiryDateString = '';

	if (!isNaN(parseInt(weeklyMileage))){
		weeks = 700/weeklyMileage;
		expiryDate = new Date(todaysDate.getTime() + (1000 * 3600 * 24 * 7 * weeks));

		var expiryDateString = expiryDate.getDate() + '/' + getMonthString(expiryDate.getMonth()+1) + '/' + expiryDate.getFullYear();

		document.getElementById('expiryDate').innerHTML = expiryDateString;
		document.getElementById('ShoeExpiryDate').value = expiryDateString;
	} else {
		document.getElementById('ShoeExpiryDate').value = '';
		document.getElementById('expiryDate').innerHTML = 'Please enter a valid weekly average mileage'
	}

}

function getMonthString(monthNumber){
	var monthString = "";
	switch(monthNumber){
		case 1:
			monthString = "01";
			break;
		case 2:
			monthString = "02";
			break;
		case 3:
			monthString = "03";
			break;
		case 4:
			monthString = "04";
			break;
		case 5:
			monthString = "05";
			break;
		case 6:
			monthString = "06";
			break;
		case 7:
			monthString = "07";
			break;
		case 8:
			monthString = "08";
			break;
		case 9:
			monthString = "09";
			break;
		case 10:
			monthString = "10";
			break;
		case 11:
			monthString = "11";
			break;
		case 12:
			monthString = "12";
			break;
		default:
			// do nothing;
	}
	return monthString;
}

function setTodaysDate(){
	var todaysDateString = todaysDate.getDate() + '/' + getMonthString(todaysDate.getMonth()+1) + '/' + todaysDate.getFullYear();
	document.getElementById('todaysDate').innerHTML =todaysDateString;
	document.getElementById('DateOfPurchase').value = todaysDateString;

}

Can someone point me in the right direction please?

I have a form that does not validate when in a modal.

Here is the page:
http://www.varsitytrainers.com/purchase1.html

It works well. It does not work when viewed on this page:
http://www.varsitytrainers.com/bosto...ltrainers.html
- Then click "Apply Now" and then click "Featured Membership" then click "Submit"

You will see that the validation does not take place. I have been banging my head against the desk for days now. Please help.

All,
I have the following code:
Code:

var http_request = false;
   function makePOSTRequest(url, parameters) {
	   alert(parameters);
      http_request = false;
      if (window.XMLHttpRequest) { // Mozilla, Safari,...
         http_request = new XMLHttpRequest();
         if (http_request.overrideMimeType) {
         	// set type accordingly to anticipated content type
            //http_request.overrideMimeType('text/xml');
            http_request.overrideMimeType('text/html');
         }
      } else if (window.ActiveXObject) { // IE
         try {
            http_request = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP");
         } catch (e) {
            try {
               http_request = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
            } catch (e) {}
         }
      }
      if (!http_request) {
         alert('Cannot create XMLHTTP instance');
         return false;
      }
	  
      http_request.onreadystatechange = alertContents;
      http_request.open('POST', url, true);
      http_request.setRequestHeader("Content-type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
      http_request.setRequestHeader("Content-length", parameters.length);
      http_request.setRequestHeader("Connection", "close");
      http_request.send(parameters);
   }

   function alertContents() {
      if (http_request.readyState == 4) {
         if (http_request.status == 200) {
            result = http_request.responseText;
            document.getElementById('myspan').innerHTML = result;
         } else {
            alert('There was a problem with the request.');
         }
      }
   }
      
   function getjob(obj) {
	  var poststr = "job_id=" + encodeURI( obj );
      makePOSTRequest('getnextjob.php', poststr);
   }

I call the getjob but doing the following:
echo "<li><a href=\"#\" onclick=\"javascript:getjob($resultsetjob[job_id]); return false;\">$resultsetjob[name]</a></li>";

It's weird, only sometimes does it pass the variable and other times it doesn't. Is there a better way to do this??

Thanks in advance.

Hi all,

I have created the following page http://kylehouston.com/new/index_new.html

I have used JQuery to add animated load icon followed by my images fading in, the load works fine and the images appear but the problem is the fade in wont work.

I have tried a few methods to try and get them to fade including adding spans round my images but the only thing that seems to work for me is setting all divs to fade in which I dont want to happen.

Anyone got any advice?

Thanks in advance!

Kyle

Hi i start of with a some csv data and convert this into an array. The resulting array looks like the following

[["Apple", "64"], ["Banana", "20"], ["pear", "12"], ["Orange", "16"]]

But i need this to be formatted as below without the quotes around the second value.

[["Apple", 64], ["Banana", 20], ["pear", 12], ["Orange", 16]]

Im not sure how to achieve this. I guess i need to loop through the array and strip out the quotes but im failing to get this working. Help!

Hi, I am trying to understand the countdown above but I am having some problems. I am trying to remove some of the fields under preferences, I just want to show "Time in Seconds" and "warning start" and not any of the other fields. When I try to remove something from the script the entire thing just stop working. So my question is simple, how do I hide/remove fields under preferences without breaking the countdown?

I am not great at using JavaScript but I am working on it. I really need help with my script. I can't seem to find out why my images won't load correctly.

Hi, the cookies I am trying to read are values from a form that were stored. The problem I am having is that one value form the form, the value is 5000, was stored as a cookie but I cannot read it. When I display it, it returns: [object HTMLInputElement].

The code for storing the value is this:
Code:

document.cookie = "bankRoll=" + encodeURIComponent(money) + "; expires=" + expireDate.toUTCString();

, where money = 5000.

The code for reading the cookies is this:
Code:

var cookies = decodeURIComponent(document.cookie);
 var cookieNumber = new Array(10);
 cookieNumber = cookies.split("; ");   
	for(var i = 0; i < cookieNumber.length; ++i)
{
	var equalPos1 = cookieNumber[i].search("="); 
if (cookieNumber[i].substring(0, equalPos1) == "firstName") 
	firstName = cookieNumber[i].substring(equalPos1 + 1); 
if (cookieNumber[i].substring(0, equalPos1) == "lastName") 
	lastName = cookieNumber[i].substring(equalPos1 + 1); 
if (cookieNumber[i].substring(0, equalPos1) == "pCode") 
	pCode = cookieNumber[i].substring(equalPos1 + 1); 
if (cookieNumber[i].substring(0, equalPos1) == "bankRoll") 
	bankRoll = cookieNumber[i].substring(equalPos1 + 1); 
if (cookieNumber[i].substring(0, equalPos1) == "lastVisit") 
	lastVisit = cookieNumber[i].substring(equalPos1 + 1); 
	
}

The only one that does not display properly is the variable bankroll. All the others return the proper value.

I would like to know how to fix my code so that the value 5000 is displayed.

I am getting an error: "document.getElementById("gender") is null"

Any ideas how I can get this to work?

Code:

<head>
	<script type="text/javascript">

	var lname = document.getElementById("lastname");
	
	var boyarray=new Array();
		boyarray[0]="Joseph James";
		boyarray[1]="Robert Michael";
		boyarray[2]="Brian Shawn";
		boyarray[3]="Joseph Duke";
	var boymax=(boyarray.length - 1);
	var boychoose = Math.round(Math.random() * boymax);
	
	var girlarray=new Array();
		girlarray[0]="Christine Louise";
		girlarray[1]="Cheyenne Lynn";
		girlarray[2]="Kelly Anne";
		girlarray[3]="Julia Marie";
	var girlmax=(girlarray.length - 1);
	var girlchoose = Math.round(Math.random() * girlmax);
	
	function randomname() 
	{
		if (selected = "2") {
			alert((girlarray[girlchoose]) + lname);
		}
		else if (selected="1") {
			alert((boyarray[boychoose]) + lname);
		}
		else {

I am working on converting something and this is what I have come up with:
http://www.msnsportsnet.com/content/ravenstest.htm

However, the width of that is 845 px and I wanted it to drop down to 650 px and make the arrows have the same effect as they did with the 845 px. First I moved the 845 to 650 in the css file, then changed the 845 to 650 in the JS files, I have been unable to figure this out though.

If someone could please help that would be great!

This is the JS file that I tried to edit:
http://www.baltimoreravens.com/includes/jsbin/ravens.js

This is the css file:
http://www.msnsportsnet.com/content/ravens.css

I've got a problem at the bottom where the "ignore case" bit is, I simply need the code to loop whether the user types a uppercase "Y" or a lowercase "y". The error I am getting right now is that it doesn't loop whether i type a lowercase or uppercase "Y".

Code:

console.log("Calculator program"); 
console.log(" "); 
console.log("1. Add numbers");
console.log("2. Subtract numbers");
console.log("3. Multiply numbers");
console.log("4. Divide numbers");

do
{
var option = prompt("What operate do you want to choose? ");
var first = prompt("Enter your first number: ");
var second = prompt("Enter your second number: ");

if (option == 1)
{
  var total1 = (first+second);
  console.log("The total is "+total1);
}
  
else if (option == 2)
{
  var total2 = (first-second);
  console.log("The total is "+total2);
}

else if (option == 3)
{
  var total3 = (first*second);
  console.log("The total is "+total3);
}

else if (option == 4)
{
  var total4 = (first/second);
  console.log("The total is "+total4);
}
  var retry = prompt("Another calculation?");
  var yes = "y".ignoreCase;

} while (retry == yes);

while ((retry == "y") || (retry == "Y"))

Be aware that prompts and alerts are considered to be long obsolete. You should use DOM methods to obtain input from and display messages to your users. If you do use prompts get rid of the ugly 'undefined'.
