JavaScript - Finding Specific Html And Replacing It

hi,

I am curious about the use of appendChild() here... I have a solution that does what I want it to do, like this:

Code:

var sidebarEntry = createSidebarEntry(poly, html);
sidebar.appendChild(sidebarEntry);
sidebar.replaceChild((sidebarEntry),sidebar.firstChild);

but it seems to be going the long way around. Not that it matters much (I guess), but all I want to do is to add an item to the sidebar and when a new item is added, remove the existing one.

I tried just using relaceChild() on its own, but the code seems to need something to be replace... Is the above the best way to do it? Or is it possible to set the child to some dummy position like null to begin with, so that the code is not constantly reloading and replacing items (which is what I understand is going on now)?

here's the page I'm working on, if you want to see the rest of the code.

I appreciate any thoughts.

Is it possible, when a page is reloaded, to replace a link to a javascript in the head with a link to a different script?

Hey guys...

Basically I need a function that will remove numerous elements from a page based on their class. I then also need a function to bring those elements back afterwards. If anyone is wondering, I'm trying to add buttons to remove/add images.

Thanks!

I have the following code that works fine:

Code 1
Code:

<script type="text/javascript">
  AJS.AEV(window, 'load', function() {
          GB_show("Special Presentation", "http://www.site.net/temp/images/ads/special.jpg", 352, 600);
     }); 
</script>

I also have the following code that works fine:

Code 2
Code:

function DoTheCookieStuff()
{
 visited=getCookie('visited');
 if (visited==null) 
 {
setCookie('visited','yes',365)
 MyWindow=window.open('http://www.site.com','MyWindow','toolbar=yes,location=yes,directories=no,status=yes,menubar=yes,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,width=640,height=480,left=1,top=1'); 
 }
}

However, I want to replace the blue code in the Code 2 immediately above that opens the window with the red code in the Code 1 section that opens the GreyBox window. I tried the following but it's just not working:

Code:

function DoTheCookieStuff()
{
 visited=getCookie('visited');
 if (visited==null) 
 
 {
 setCookie('visited','yes',365)
 AJS.AEV(window, 'load', function() {
          GB_show("Special Presentation", "http://www.site.net/temp/images/ads/special.jpg", 352, 600);
     });
 }
}

Thank you.

I'm sorry this is simple, but:

Code:

function printInput(f){
  var ifr = window.frames['printFrame'];
  var v1=readCookie('lesson');
  if (v1==1){v2='WORKNOTEPAD1'}
  if (v1==2){v2='WORKNOTEPAD2'}
  if (ifr){
     ifr.document.getElementById('content').innerHTML=f. v2 .value.replace(/\n/g,'<br />');
     ifr.focus();
     ifr.print();
  }
  else { something }
}

In this line:

Code:

ifr.document.getElementById('content').innerHTML=f. v2 .value.replace(/\n/g,'<br />');

How can I make it stop erroring and act as if the "v2" were, say, "WORKNOTEPAD2"?

If the line contains the string it all works fine.

It must be so simple...

Hi,

I know how to replace all the + signs in a url string by spaces, like this:

newstring=oldstring.replace(/[+]/g," ");


but how do I replace a substring by a comma easily? This doesn't do it:

newstring=oldstring.replace(/[&menuitems]/,",");


Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi,

I am quite new to JS and is currently building a website with a little of JS Function. Ok, so I have a Page tat consists of 10 images. Each images when on mouse over, will display a larger version on the images, using JS(onmouseover).

Then, I will have a next button that will replace all the images, using Ajax, which means my page will not be reloaded. The problem comes here when I have to replace all the onmouseover effect.

I can replace all the thumbnails without problem, but the onmouseover I have problem replacing. Is there anyway that I can dynamically replace all the onmouseover?

Any help will be appreciated. Thanks

I have 16 links on a page, when each link is clicked, I need to change text that is on the page.

This is Page 1

link 1 This Is Page 1
link 2 This is Page 2
...
link 16 This is Page 16

How can I do this?
Excuse my ignorance, this is my first JS project

Ok, i have a javascript that creates a table then appends it to an empty div. This works fine in FF, however it fails to work in IE8.
[edit]
I have decided to post the entire code since I wasn't having any luck getting any suggestions. Maybe now someone can help me out.

Code:

function createTable() {
var machine = document.Catalog.machine.value;
var dSearch = document.Catalog.dSearch.value;
var section = document.Catalog.section.value;
var x = xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName('record');
var y = xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName('data');
var newEl = document.createElement('TABLE');
newEl.className = 'resultsTab';
var tmp = document.createElement('TBODY');
newEl.appendChild(tmp);
var row = document.createElement('TR');
var n = 1;
var headings = new Array("Col1", "Col2", "Col3", "Col4", "Col5");
var dcount = 0;
//for (t=0;t<10;t++) {
for (t=0;t<y[0].childNodes.length;t++) {  
	if (y[0].childNodes[t].tagName == "record") { // it is required for FF to work properly
		dcount++;
	}
}
if (document.Catalog.thumbImg[0].checked) {  
	var container = document.createElement('TH'); 
	var theData = document.createTextNode("Pic"); 
	container.className = "topline1"; 
    container.appendChild(theData);
    row.appendChild(container);
}
for (h=0;h<headings.length;h++) {
     var container = document.createElement('TH');
     var theData = document.createTextNode(headings[h]);
	 container.className = 'topline' + n;
     container.appendChild(theData);
     row.appendChild(container);
	 n++;
}
tmp.appendChild(row);
switch (searchtype) {
    case 1:
	var objRegex = new RegExp(machine);
    break;
    case 2:
	var objRegex = new RegExp(section, "i");
    break;
    case 3:
	var objRegex = new RegExp(dSearch, "i");
	break;
    default:
	document.getElementById("replaceTxt").innerHTML = "<p>There was an error processing your request.</p>";    
}
var rowColor = 1; 
var noResult = "false"; 
for (i=0;i<dcount;i++) {
	var row = document.createElement('TR');
	var searcharr = new Array();
   	for (j=0;j<x[i].childNodes.length;j++) {  
    	if (x[i].childNodes[j].nodeType != 1) continue;  
		searcharr.push(x[i].childNodes[j].firstChild.nodeValue);
	}
	var searchstrg = searcharr.toString();
	if (searchstrg.match(objRegex)) { 
		var t;
	 	var m=1;
		if (document.Catalog.thumbImg[0].checked) { 
			var pn = "images/"+searcharr[2]+".jpg"; 
			var container = document.createElement('TD'); 
			var refLink = document.createElement("A");
			refLink.setAttribute('href', "javascript:viewImg(\""+pn+"\")");
			var imgHolder = document.createElement("IMG"); 
			imgHolder.setAttribute("src", pn); 
			imgHolder.style.height = "75px";  
			refLink.appendChild(imgHolder); 
			container.appendChild(refLink);   
			container.className = "img"+rowColor; 
			row.appendChild(container);
		}
		for (t=0; t<searcharr.length; t++) {
	    	container = document.createElement('TD');
    		var theData = document.createTextNode(searcharr[t]);
			container.appendChild(theData);
			container.className = 'line' + rowColor + '_' + m;
			row.appendChild(container);
			m++;
		}
		tmp.appendChild(row);
		rowColor == 1 ? rowColor++ : rowColor--;
		document.getElementById("replaceTxt").innerHTML = "";
		document.getElementById("replaceTxt").appendChild(newEl);
		noResult = "true";
	} 
}
if (noResult=="false") { 
	document.getElementById("replaceTxt").innerHTML = "<h3>Sorry, there was no match to your search. &nbsp;Please try again</h3>";
}
}

xmlDoc is the xml object from my import xml function. it is working correctly. IE does not give any JS errors, it just does nothing. If I put text in the
Code:

document.getElementById("replaceTxt").innerHTML

field, IE displays the text in the correct spot so I know the code is working. I also verified the data is being written correctly to "newEl" via IE 8 debugger. IE just does not want to append the newEl child to the <div> tag. This is where I assume the problem is.

Hi Guys/Gals

Anchor View Residence
123456

when i click on submit
it shows this on FormB

666, ST Avenue #03-09 Anchor View Residence 123456

666, ST Avenue
#03-09
Anchor View Residence
123456

in FormB

in my formB.asp, for the particular code, all i wrote was Code:

{Form.address}

I am in need of advise, have been stuck here for the past 1 day, not knwing wat to start or how to start.

Thank you

Hey folks. I currently have a PTZ camera that is taking screenshots every minute (or so) and sending a copy of that image (overwriting the previous one) to my website. Basically, the visitors to the website will be greeted with a live screenshot. The problem is if the visitor hits the website at just the right time, the screenshot won't be loaded completely while the 2nd most screenshot is being overwritten... creating an empty image load (the dreaded red X). What I am looking to do with Javascript is to be able to load a generic image in the scenario in which no image loads. Is that possible?

I tried doing something like the following and onload-ing it, but it wouldn't work. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Code:

<script type="text/javascript">
		<!--		
		function replaceSrc() {      
			var images = document.getElementsByTagName('img');      
			
			for(var i = 0; i < images.length; i++) {         
				var img = images[i];          
				if(img.src.length == 0) {             
					img.src = 'images/garbage.gif';         
					}     
				} 
			}   			
			
		-->
</script>

Code:

var bakaBanner;
bakaBanner = document.getElementById('head');
if (bakaBanner) {
var str=/\/images\/banners\/[A-Za-z0-9_]+.[a-z]+/;
document.write(str.replace(/\/images\/banners\/[A-Za-z0-9_]+.[a-z]+/, "http://img218.imageshack.us/img218/5904/revyblacklagoon1.png"));
}

Alright, here's the deal... This is a script to be used in Greasemonkey. The page this is for changes their banner every 5 minutes, the name changes and it could be either jpg or png.

I'm fairly certain my regex itself:
\/images\/banners\/[A-Za-z0-9_]+.[a-z]+
Is correct... Here's an example of what it's looking through:

Code:

<div id="head"  style="background-image: url(/images/banners/kiminitodoke.jpg);" >
	<div id="header_left">
		<div id="rss">

My guess is that it has something to do with this line:
document.write(str.replace(/\/images\/banners\/[A-Za-z0-9_]+.[a-z]+/, "http://img218.imageshack.us/img218/5904/revyblacklagoon1.png"));

I'm new with Javascript, so I don't really understand why it's not working... :/

Hi there I have this problem where there is something wrong with the variable scope, but I cannot find it, the first problem I have is that the program doesn't work, and the second is the error with the variable scope. Please can you help me fix it.

Code:

var count = 0;

function gimmeRandom()
{
  var rand = Math.floor(Math.random()*10)+1;
  count++;
}

function countToRandom()
{
  for (count = 1; count <= rand; count++)
  {
     console.log(count);
  }
}

console.log("Counting to a random number");
gimmeRandom();
countToRandom();
console.log("Counting to another random number");
gimmeRandom();
countToRandom();
console.log("There has been "+count+" random numbers");

Any variable declared (using the var keyword) *inside* a function is ONLY visible inside that function.

So your rand variable can NOT be seen, at all, in your countToRandom( ) function.

Can anyone direct me to the source of this carousel or something similar?
