JavaScript - Sort Array Of Numbers And Letters

Hello,
I have the following script, but I'd like to sort each nested array before it is written. How can I do this? I've tried putting Games.sort(); and Games[0].sort(); in different places, but it never seems to work.
Code:

var Games = new Array();

//PS3
Games[0] = new Array();
Games[0][0] = "ps3list";
Games[0][1] = "Uncharted: Among Thieves";
Games[0][2] = "Prince of Persia";
Games[0][3] = "Saboteur";
Games[0][4] = "Assassins Creed";

//Wii	
Games[1] = new Array();
Games[1][0] = "wiilist";
Games[1][1] = "Wii Play";
Games[1][2] = "Mario Party 8";
Games[1][3] = "Okami";
Games[1][4] = "Wii Sports";

function loadGames(){
    for (i = 0; i < Games.length; i++) {
        var list = "<ul>";
        for (j = 1; j < Games[i].length; j++) {
            list += "<li><input type = 'checkbox' class='checkbox' name = '" + Games[i][j] + "' />" + Games[i][j] + "</li>";
        }
        list += "</ul>"
        document.getElementById(Games[i][0]).innerHTML = list;
    }
}

Hi,
Can i sort an array of objects in javascript?.
I am having the value as

I have the following array called 'datacontent' that have the following data:
(4, RX33, )
(3, RX54, )
(102, RX44, )
(1, R100, Retail Branch 100)
(2, RX12, )
(100, RX55, )

I want them to be sorted into this order:
(1, R100, Retail Branch 100)
(2, RX12, )
(3, RX54, )
(4, RX33, )
(100, RX55, )
(102, RX44, )

But it is always not sorted and it will give me as follows:
(2, RX12, )
(3, RX54, )
(4, RX33, )
(100, RX55, )
(102, RX44, )
(1, R100, Retail Branch 100)

My code is as follows:
Code:

function sortby(i) {
	return function(a,b){a = a[i];b = b[i];return a.toLowerCase() == b.toLowerCase() ? 0 : (a.toLowerCase() < b.toLowerCase() ? -1 : 1)}
}
datacontent.sort(sortby(1));

Appreciate any help.

Hi all,

I have an array containing numbers. I want to order this numbers contained from major to minor in order to print them ..
Here's what I have done:

Code:

var arr = new Array(6);
arr[0] = "10";
arr[1] = "5";
arr[2] = "40";
arr[3] = "25";
arr[4] = "1000";
arr[5] = "1";


    function sortNumber(a,b)
    {
       return b - a;
    }

        for(var i=0;i < 6; i++){ 
         var myarray = arr[i];
         myarray.sort(sortNumber);
         alert(myarray);
      }

But I get no alert and a "myarray.sort is not a function" error.
What am I doing wrong? How can I solve this?

Thanks a lot in advance!

My array is like so...

shp[0][0] = 5; shp[0][1] = "A5"; shp[0][2] = "A2"; shp[0][3] = "A1"; shp[0][4] = "A4"; shp[0][5] = "A3";
shp[1][0] = 4; shp[1][1] = "C3"; shp[1][2] = "C4"; shp[1][3] = "C1"; shp[1][4] = "C2";
shp[2][0] = 3; shp[2][1] = "E1"; shp[2][2] = "E3"; shp[2][3] = "E2";
shp[3][0] = 3; shp[3][1] = "G3"; shp[3][2] = "G2"; shp[3][3] = "G1";
shp[4][0] = 2; shp[4][1] = "I2"; shp[4][2] = "I1";

the results I am after is...

shp[0][0] = 5; shp[0][1] = "A1"; shp[0][2] = "A2"; shp[0][3] = "A3"; shp[0][4] = "A4"; shp[0][5] = "A5";
shp[1][0] = 4; shp[1][1] = "C1"; shp[1][2] = "C2"; shp[1][3] = "C3"; shp[1][4] = "C4";
shp[2][0] = 3; shp[2][1] = "E1"; shp[2][2] = "E2"; shp[2][3] = "E3";
shp[3][0] = 3; shp[3][1] = "G1"; shp[3][2] = "G2"; shp[3][3] = "G3";
shp[4][0] = 2; shp[4][1] = "I1"; shp[4][2] = "I2";

so it sorts all from the second part of the array to the end in alpha-numerical order.

I tried the following but i get errors about Cannot call method 'unshift' of undefined.

//
var shp;
var shpbk;
var shpbktemp;
//

shpbk = shp.slice();

shpbktemp[0] = shpbk[0][0];
shpbk[0] = shpbk[0].shift; shpbk[0] = shpbk[0].sort; shpbk[0] = shpbk[0].unshift(shpbktemp[0]);

shpbktemp[1] = shpbk[1][0];
shpbk[1] = shpbk[1].shift; shpbk[1] = shpbk[1].sort; shpbk[1] = shpbk[1].unshift(shpbktemp[1]);

shpbktemp[2] = shpbk[2][0];
shpbk[2] = shpbk[2].shift; shpbk[2] = shpbk[2].sort; shpbk[2] = shpbk[2].unshift(shpbktemp[2]);

shpbktemp[3] = shpbk[3][0];
shpbk[3] = shpbk[3].shift; shpbk[3] = shpbk[3].sort; shpbk[3] = shpbk[3].unshift(shpbktemp[3]);

shpbktemp[4] = shpbk[4][0];
shpbk[4] = shpbk[4].shift; shpbk[4] = shpbk[4].sort; shpbk[4] = shpbk[4].unshift(shpbktemp[4]);

Hi all,

I'm trying to change our shopping cart code by making a small modification.

When editing a product, there is a dimensions box which currently only allows numbers. We want it to allow numbers and letters (don't ask why).

The code we have is the following which we think is related to why our shopping cart won't allow letters in the box.

Could someone please edit the following code to allow letters? Thank you.

Code:

		if(isNaN(dimensionsFormat(prodWidth.value)) && prodWidth.value != "" && !sellingDP) {
			ShowTab(0);
			alert("%%LNG_EnterWidth%%");
			prodWidth.focus();
			prodWidth.select();
			return false;
		}

		if(isNaN(dimensionsFormat(prodHeight.value)) && prodHeight.value != "" && !sellingDP) {
			ShowTab(0);
			alert("%%LNG_EnterHeight%%");
			prodHeight.focus();
			prodHeight.select();
			return false;
		}

		if(isNaN(dimensionsFormat(prodDepth.value)) && prodDepth.value != "" && !sellingDP) {
			ShowTab(0);
			alert("%%LNG_EnterDepth%%");
			prodDepth.focus();
			prodDepth.select();
			return false;
		}

Hey everyone

Okay so...
I'm working on a site, which will include a registration form for users that wish to register. In this registration form I would like it to have an AJAX based effect, such that when the user types each letter out for his username in the field, his username will appear (letter upon letter) itself below, at the end of their unique url.

To explain further:-
Say I type my username to be Owen
Below the field I would like it to display:
http://www.mydomain.com/Owen
http://Owen.mydomain.com/
As I type it. Is this possible?

I've done my research, but had little luck. I'm sure it is possible as I've seen it before in a slightly different manner.

Hope you can or are willing to help

Thank you
Owen Ayres

I have a document list of several hundred drug names where some are lower case and some are all caps. I want to bold only the lower case drug names but don't want to do it manually. Is there a java script that I can apply where it automatically does that for me?

I'm working on a script to check password strength "onkeyup",so when the user enters a password after every character i call a function to check the passwords strength.I'm almost ready,but i stucked with one thing:
I want to check the same characters in the password,so i can deduct some point from the score if there are identical characters.
Here is my code:
PHP Code:
var multis = 0;
        for(var x = 1; x < passLength; x++)
            {
                actChar = new RegExp(password.charAt(x),"g");
                multis += password.match(actChar).length;
            } 


I know it seems an easy task,but i've spent at least 6 hours with it,(the first pitfall was that i didn't know the RegExp function and took my variables into the match() function,i think you can imagine the results)and i just can't figure this out,i always get crazy results,i've tried a few more versions as well without any luck.
Thx in advance for anybody who can help me!

Hi wise javascript gurus, I am working on a small form that on the click of a button, it calls a function to validate a string that consists of 3 portions delimited with a dash("-") in the following format
XXX-NNNN-XXX
where X are letters only
where N are numbers only

I have to use regular expressions to validate the first portion and verify that its exactly 3 characters long that are letters only

if the first portion or "plant code" is larger then 3 characters long an alert gets display

also if the first portion contains alphanumeric or numeric characters an alert gets displayed, the first portion has to be in letters only.

down below is my code that is not functional at the time because I know for sure the way I check for regular expressions is a bet washy but thats the only thing I was able to come up with, any help will be appreciated.

thanks for making time to read my thread

Code:

<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function validateit()
{
	var number = document.myform.product_number.value;
	var charnum = number.length;
	if (number =="")
	alert("you must enter a product number, field cannot be empty");
	
	else if (charnum < 12 || charnum > 12)
	alert("the product numbre has to be exactly 12 characters long");
	
	else
	
	validate_number(number);
}

function validate_number(num)
{
	var objRegEx = /^[a-z]+$/;

	split=num.split("-",3);
	if (split[0].length!=3)
	alert("the Plant Code portion of the Product Number has to be only three charactes long")
	if!(objRegEx.test(split[0])
	alert("the Plant Code portion of the Product Number has to be letters only")
}

</script>

Hey I'm trying to make a script which will check if the string which the user sent from a form contains ONLY letters. The problem is if the user entered something like this "25 years old" it allow that to be submitted. It only blocks submissions of the form if the user submits NO letters like this "12345". I want it to block submissions if at least one character isn't a letter. Here's my code:

Code:

var message = document.myform.formtest.value;
var allowed = /[A-z+]/;
if(!allowed.test(message)) {
   alert("The field only allows letters (a-z).");
   return false;
}

Hi,
can anyone tell me how to detect any word (a-z only, surrounded by whitespace) less than 5 letters long?

Edit - this is what I have currently:

Code:

var RE=/\s([a-z]{1,4})\s/gi;
var string="some words"; //should be turned to "words"
string=string.replace(RE, "");

This is taking 4 letter chunks from the end of words.

Cheers,
Gus

Edit - fixed (replaced \s with \b)

Hello JS experts:

I simply want to sort this output by date:

Code:

document.write(x[i].getElementsByTagName("cdate")[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue);

Why can't I simply just do this?
Code:

document.write((x[i].getElementsByTagName("cdate")[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue).sort());

XML :
Code:

<item>
<number>10-0057-FW</number>
<title>Supervisory Contract Specialist</title>
<link>http://test.usaid.com/careers/TESTgscover.html#1826296</link>

</item>

Partial JS:
Code:

var x=xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("item");

for (i=0;i<x.length;i++)
  {
			 . . .

document.write(x[i].getElementsByTagName("cdate")[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue);
document.write("</td><td>");

Hi I'm working on displaying a list of events on my site and need to display them in ascending order. i've got an xml document that looks like this(with multiple events obviously, i've just put one here):

Code:

<EventList>
  <Event>
    <Title>title example</Title>
    <myDescription>description example</myDescription>
    <myLink>http://www.example.com</myLink>
    <dayDate>10</dayDate>
    <monthDate>5</monthDate>
    <yearDate>2010</yearDate>
    <EventPic>Event.gif</EventPic>
  </Event>
</EventList>

Then on my html page, I have this javascript:

Code:

<script type="text/javascript">
if (window.XMLHttpRequest)
  {
  xhttp=new XMLHttpRequest();
  }
else // Internet Explorer
  {
  xhttp=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
  }
xhttp.open("GET","Events.xml",false);
xhttp.send("");
xmlDoc=xhttp.responseXML; 

  var jDate=new Date();
  var jYear=jDate.getFullYear();
  var jYearStr=jYear.toString();
  var jMonth=jDate.getMonth()+1;
  var jMonthStr=jMonth.toString();
  var jDay=jDate.getDate();
  var jDayStr=jDay.toString();
  var currentDate=jYearStr+jMonthStr+jDayStr;

document.write("<div>");
var x=xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("Event");

for (i=0;i<x.length;i++)
  { 
  var theMonthDate=x[i].getElementsByTagName("monthDate")[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue;
  var theDayDate=x[i].getElementsByTagName("dayDate")[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue;
  var theYearDate=x[i].getElementsByTagName("yearDate")[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue;
  var theDate=theYearDate+theMonthDate+theDayDate;
  if (theDate>=currentDate)
  {
  document.write("<br>");
  document.write("<a href='");
  document.write(x[i].getElementsByTagName("myLink")[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue);
  document.write("'>");
  document.write(x[i].getElementsByTagName("Title")[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue);
  document.write("</a>");
  document.write("<br>");
  document.write(x[i].getElementsByTagName("myDescription")[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue);
  document.write("<br>");
  document.write(x[i].getElementsByTagName("monthDate")[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue);
  document.write("/");
  document.write(x[i].getElementsByTagName("dayDate")[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue);
  document.write("/");
  document.write(x[i].getElementsByTagName("yearDate")[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue);
  document.write("<br>");
  }
  }
document.write("</div>");
</script>

Can anyone help me with sorting this? So far I have it displaying only events that are occuring after the present date(currentDate). How would I go about displaying them so that the events displayed will be in the order of the earliest date displaying first?

Thanks so much,
Alex

I have a status page on my website, but I have multiple servers, and they cramp up the one page.
I was wondering if it was possible if I could have a link that says "CSS Server Status" and it drops down with the code for the CSS server, and say for "SAMP Server Status" drops down with the code/html for the samp server.

I haven't a clue about Javascript, so as much help as possible would be appretiated.
