JavaScript - Automatic Daily Text Update With Javascript?
I work at a bar in Louisiana and have been put in charge of the website.
Every day (Sun-Sat) we update the main page with who is bartending that night, along with a few other edits. I don't come into the office until 2pm, Mon-Fri. I would really prefer if the website could be updated 'automatically' at like, 4am or something, every day. Instead of me struggling to figure out how I'll update it on weekends. I have to use FrontPage, so I'm limited in the types of codes I can use. But Javascript seems to work well. What I'm thinking is have an 'updates' folder with pages labeled either by weekday (sunday.html monday.html tuesday.html, etc) or by date (072410.html, 072510.html, etc). Then the main page having some code that pulls from those files. (I'd prefer the weekday setup if I have the option) Since the bar doesn't close until 2am most days, I'd rather not have it change over at exactly midnight, but I'm willing to work with that if it means I know it's being updated every day regularly. Similar TutorialsI have a Java Script that displays a Daily Affirmation on a webpage from an array of 365 Affirmations within the same html webpage file. This makes the html file size way too large. So I would like for the java script to read the array from an external text file on the same website server. Please provide me the Code to insert within my script which will read the array from an external text file - and also the format that the array of 365 lines must be typed into the external text file. I am not a Javascript Programmer - and know nothing about Javascript, so please write your reply at my (lack of) knowledge Level. Thank you in advance! Here is the code I am using. <script language=javascript> <!-- Date.prototype.getDOY = function() {var onejan = new Date(this.getFullYear(),0,1); return Math.ceil((this - onejan) / 86400000);} var today = new Date(); var DOY = today.getDOY(); var HL=new Array() //Configure the following array to hold the 365 HLs for each day of the year HL[1]='HL 1 goes here' HL[2]='HL 2 goes here' HL[3]='HL 3 goes here' // Jump to Day 224 of the year for this example only HL[224]='I am surrounding myself with positive and supportive people. When I nurture relationships that give me energy and enjoyment, I mirror my beliefs that I deserve such gifts.' HL[225]='Today I affirm my own worth and value, and discover that the world agrees with me.' HL[226]='I am sowing seeds based on a healthy belief in my own self-worth. My life is flourishing with growing love, contentment, and exciting possibilities.' HL[227]='HL 227 goes here' HL[228]='HL 228 goes here' // Jump to last HL for Day 365 of year - for this example only HL[365]='HL 365 goes here' document.write(HL[DOY]) //--> </script> I work at a college radio station and our brand new website just went live, but we're having one particular issue... We have a set list of shows that air each day, and on the site we have a marquee tag on the homepage that scrolls through showing each show and its broadcast time. Right now we're stuck changing this schedule each day by hand, but it's tough considering we're all college students ourselves and sometimes our own schedules simply don't allow the time. Is there a code that would allow this kind of a daily update to happen automatically? The format for the schedule is such: 4 - 5 pm // "Show 01" 5 - 6 pm // "Show 02" 6 - 8 pm // "Show 03" 8 - 10 pm // "Show 04" 10 - 12 am // "Show 05" Any help would be very much appreciated!

Hi, I am trying to implement something like a javascript that can click and focus the Status Update Box on Facebook. Till now, I have nothing in hand that can perform the task so I thought about a javascript that can do it. I am not even a newbie to javascript but I know that it can perform various complicated tasks on client side. Can anyone here tell me how do I click the Status Update box and set it to focused by a javascript so that when I start typing the Status box receive the text ? Thanks Hi, I am new to javascript,this is my first time using it, I am wishing to have 2 buttons on my website, one that scrolls to the bottom of my page when clicked and then stops at the bottom and one that scrolls back up the page when clicked, but I want my viewers to be able to see this movement. I have some code (below) which works fine in firefox but it doesn't work in explorer, and I can't get this code to work moving upwards (after taking away the minus from -50). Can anybody please help me I have been battling for days trying to make it work although I am finding it hard to understand javascript being a first time user. I currently have this javascript : [CODE] <head> <script language="JavaScript"> function pageScrollup() { window.scrollBy(0,-50); // horizontal and vertical scroll increments if (window.pageYOffset) { scrolldelay = setTimeout('pageScrollup()',5); } } </script> </head> <body> <a href="JavaScriptageScrollup()">Back to Top</a> </body>[ICODE] Any help is greatly appreciated. OrangeAnt Hello im trying to update a text area value with edited code with javascript, i dont know how to and im asking if you guys know
Hi all, I'm a JavaScript newbie and I am trying to create a situation where a user clicks a button, a popup is launched in which they have a textarea to enter some text. Once they hit submit, the popup should disapear and a certain text element on the previous page should be updated to show what they entered. Its like this, but obviously it wouldn't be on the same page: http://www.tizag.com/javascriptT/jav...-innerHTML.php - updating text based on user input. I have the popup part working just fine: index.php Code: <script type="text/javascript">
<!--
function editText() {
sList = window.open("editText.html", "list", "width=300,height=300");
}
// -->
</script>
which is triggered by an onclick="editText()" however I can seem to figure out how to update the box with the text they enter in the popup part. I'm sure it is something do with innnerHTML. editText.html Code: <script type="text/javascript">
function changeText2(){
var userInput = document.getElementById('userInput').value;
document.getElementById('boldStuff2').innerHTML = userInput;
}
</script>
<p>Welcome to the site <b id='boldStuff2'>dude</b> </p>
<input type='text' id='userInput' value='Enter Text Here' />
<input type='button' onclick='changeText2()' value='Change Text'/>
Can anybody help me out here? Many thanks As of right now I have a code that will work in IE but wont work in FireFox...go figure. Basically what I want to have happen is when you type in an area code it will provide an output in a predetermined area of the page. For Example: Input- 512 Output - Austin, TX The code that I have doesn't work with firefox and I was just wondering if there was a code that would allow that to happen. Thanks! Hello All, I'm working on a project which requires a small portion from a large table of information to be displayed on a webpage (sort of like a magnifying glass). The display will be a table of fixed size (m by n cells). Some of the cells will be merged. When the table updates, different sets of cells may be merged. It needs to be coded in HTML5, which I assume includes the use of JavaScript and CSS (The specs of this is rather unclear at the moment, so I'm going to cover all bases). Anyhow, looking through the HTML5 and JavaScript tutorials, I found two ways to solve this problem. One way would be to have a script to parse out the relevant information, and have it output into a table (dynamically generating the HTML required). The second way would be to have the script draw the table on its own in a canvas. User events (such as arrow keys on the keyboard) will change the position of the focus (move the magnifying glass in a cardinal direction). I hit a small snag with the first solution - Is it possible to update the table on the page (including changing the structure of it) without having to refresh? If you could point me to a relevant tutorial or example on the web, I'd greatly appreciate it. Using the following script: <script language="JavaScript">TargetDate = "01/22/2010 7:50 AM UTC-0500"; BackColor = "palegreen"; ForeColor = "navy"; CountActive = true; CountStepper = -1; LeadingZero = true; DisplayFormat = "%%D%% Days, %%H%% Hours, %%M%% Minutes, %%S%% Seconds."; FinishMessage = "Call In Now!!! Lines Are Open" </script> Want target date to equal every day so it resets after the target date and time is hit. Optionally, it would be nice to have it reset 60 minutes after target is hit (so the FinishMessage can display) but if that's too complicated, I'd be happy to not have to manually reset the date every day. I apologize in advance for being a newbie and this may be a straight-forward and simple issue. Greetings. I am trying to create an "image of the day" for a site where the image will change automatically every 24 hours. Currently, I have 30 images in a folder named "petday" (no quotes) and I tried the following code (found in this forum) but I cannot get it to work. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. On a side note, I am very new to JavaScript and I know there is an easier way to write this but I am not real clear on how to do it. I have been reading the lessons found at W3 schools and I think I can use a switch statement? Is that correct? Code: <SCRIPT Language="JavaScript">
var now = new Date();
var dd = now.getDate();

document.write('<img src="petday/image1.jpg">');

I am completely a beginner at coding and really do not know much right now. This is the day of week link rotation script which works just great: Code: <script type="text/javascript">

Thanks I'm using a image of the day script and my pictures will not be located at the site where the code will be. Code: images[0] = "<img src='yourimage.jpg'>" Do I/can I use the link such as <a href="http://www.sample.com/mphases.htm"> right where (yourimage) is, in between the quotes to link to an offsite picture? Could someone retype this snippet of code showing how it would look for me? Thanks I'm attempting to modify a facebook app I purchased that allows friends to send gifts to each other. The problem with the program is that when gifts are accepted, they continue to show on the "accept gift" page. I'd like to change it so that after gifts are accepted, they no longer show on that page, preventing the user from wondering "which gifts have I already accepted?" Later, I'd like to also create a reject gift option, but 1st things 1st. The program is written in php, html, and javascript. I decided one solution was to add a new empty column to the sql table called "accepted". When the user presses "accept gift" I'm thinking an onclick event could be used to add a "y" (for yes) to that record in the database. Then modify the code that displays the gifts to only show gifts from the table 'WHERE' accepted is equal to null. My questions a Is this a logical approach? If so, is the process: create a javascript function that updates mysql and call that function with an onclick event? What about sql injection vulnerabilities? I've read a lot about ajax and HTTP request being the way to do things like this, but could not find an example that represented what I want to do. After weeks of reading, I'm still lost. |
