JavaScript - Javascript Code Currency Format, Help

This post will contain a few guidelines for what you can do to get better help from us. Let's start with the obvious ones:

- Use regular language. A spelling mistake or two isn't anything I'd complain about, but 1337-speak, all-lower-case-with-no-punctuation or huge amounts of run-in text in a single paragraph doesn't make it easier for us to help you.

- Be verbose. We can't look in our crystal bowl and see the problem you have, so describe it in as much detail as possible.

- Cut-and-paste the problem code. Don't retype it into the post, do a cut-and-paste of the actual production code. It's hard to debug code if we can't see it, and this way you make sure any spelling errors or such are caught and no new ones are introduced.

- Post code within code tags, like this [code]your code here[/code]. This will display like so: Code:

alert("This is some JavaScript code!")

- Please, post the relevant code. If the code is large and complex, give us a link so we can see it in action, and just post snippets of it on the boards.

- If the code is on an intranet or otherwise is not openly accessible, put it somewhere where we can access it.

- Tell us any error messages from the JavaScript console in Firefox or Opera. (If you haven't tested it in those browsers, please do!)

- If the code has both HTML/XML and JavaScript components, please show us both and not just part of it.

- If the code has frames, iframes, objects, embeds, popups, XMLHttpRequest or similar components, tell us if you are trying it locally or from a server, and if the code is on the same or different servers.

- We don't want to see the server side code in the form of PHP, PERL, ASP, JSP, ColdFusion or any other server side format. Show us the same code you send the browser. That is, show us the generated code, after the server has done it's thing. Generally, this is the code you see on a view-source in the browser, and specifically NOT the .php or .asp (or whatever) source code.

Hello,

I am in the process of using the split function for splitting strings into an array. The problem I am dealing with is how to do this with local language. Not all languages us the space " " delimiter between words to write a phrase or sentence.

I have a list of all of delimiters for english, japanese, chinese, korean in Decimal Code Point format. For example, the decimal code point equivalent for " " is 32. Is it possible to use the javascript split function with decimal code points? If not, how can I reformat them into a format that js would understand?

Many thanks.

Hello.

I have got this kind of array:
Code:

$days = array('Monday' => '2012-03-19',
                    'Tuesday' => '2012-03-20'
                   );

I'm iterating like this:
Code:

foreach($days as $key => $value){
       echo '<a href="javascipt:confirmDelete('.$value.');">Delete</a>';
}

Script:
Code:

function confirmDelete(day)
{
	if (confirm('Delete?')) {
		window.location.href = 'processDay.php?action=delete&day=' + day ;
	}
}

While i hover over the link with coursor, it show it good: javascript:confirmDelete(2012-03-19), but when I submit the delete confirmation, i get &day=1987. Where is the problem?

Hi All,

I have a snippet of Javascript that changes date format from yyyy/mm/dd to dd/mm/yyyy:

Code:

<script type="text/javascript">
var myString = "[[date]]";
var mySplitResult = myString.split("-");document.write(mySplitResult[2] + "/" + mySplitResult[1] + "/" + mySplitResult[0] );
</script>

However, I want it to return the format as dd/mm/yy (the last two number of the year rather than the full four).

Is this possible to do?

Thanks,
Neil

hello,

is there a date format for an existing date?

all I see is a var d = new Date();

but i need to format an existing date?

thanks!

I'm trying to find a way to display a future date in short format (as an expiration date) with Javascript. I've figured out how to do it with long format, but have no idea how to convert it and I'm not great with Javascript.

Here is code that I found on another forum and modified:

Code:

<!doctype html>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>Untitled Document</title>
</head>

<body>


<!doctype html>
<head>
<title>Expires</title>
</head>
<body>

<script>

var myDelayInDays=6, myDate=new Date();
myDate.setDate(myDate.getDate()+myDelayInDays);

document.write('Expires: ' + myDate.toLocaleDateString());

</script>
</body>
</html>

</body>
</html>

Which displays:

"Expires: Monday, May 21, 2012"

I would like it to display:

"Expires: 05/21/2012"

Can anyone help?!

Hello
I have this script
Code:

/* This script and many more are available free online at
The JavaScript Source!! http://javascript.internet.com
Created by: Mario Costa |  */
function currencyFormat(fld, milSep, decSep, e) {
  var sep = 0;
  var key = '';
  var i = j = 0;
  var len = len2 = 0;
  var strCheck = '0123456789';
  var aux = aux2 = '';
  var whichCode = (window.Event) ? e.which : e.keyCode;

  if (whichCode == 13) return true;  // Enter
  if (whichCode == 8) return true;  // Delete
  key = String.fromCharCode(whichCode);  // Get key value from key code
  if (strCheck.indexOf(key) == -1) return false;  // Not a valid key
  len = fld.value.length;
  for(i = 0; i < len; i++)
  if ((fld.value.charAt(i) != '0') && (fld.value.charAt(i) != decSep)) break;
  aux = '';
  for(; i < len; i++)
  if (strCheck.indexOf(fld.value.charAt(i))!=-1) aux += fld.value.charAt(i);
  aux += key;
  len = aux.length;
  if (len == 0) fld.value = '';
  if (len == 1) fld.value = '0'+ decSep + '0' + aux;
  if (len == 2) fld.value = '0'+ decSep + aux;
  if (len > 2) {
    aux2 = '';
    for (j = 0, i = len - 3; i >= 0; i--) {
      if (j == 3) {
        aux2 += milSep;
        j = 0;
      }
      aux2 += aux.charAt(i);
      j++;
    }
    fld.value = '';
    len2 = aux2.length;
    for (i = len2 - 1; i >= 0; i--)
    fld.value += aux2.charAt(i);
    fld.value += decSep + aux.substr(len - 2, len);
  }
  return false;
}

and I call it like that:
onKeyPress="return(currencyFormat(this,',',',',event))"

the ouput is:
100,000.00

How can I get rid of of the last 2 ziros after the last dot

I need this kind of output

1,000
10,000
100,000
1,000,000

any help ?

Hi I have the following currency converter code which works fine, but I need to make it possible for someone else to edit the euro price using a visual editor such as contribute.

Code:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
<title>Untitled Document</title>

<script language='javascript'>
exchRate = 1.13; 
function getUKP(price) {
document.write('(&pound;' + Math.round(price / exchRate) + ')');
}
</script>

</head>
<body>

<strong>&euro;526</strong> <script type="text/javascript">getUKP('526');</script><br /><br />

<strong>&euro;1999</strong> <script type="text/javascript">getUKP('1999');</script>

</body>
</html>

This code requires someone to change the figure in the javascript as well as the html. I guess I need to somehow automatically pick up the numeric characters only from the html which appear on the same line of code... or perhaps there's an easier way.?


Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Hi,
I'm really stupid and haven't been working with javascript long, so forgive my incompetence. I need to create a simple currency convertor. Not with live rates or anything like that.
It needs to allow a user to input a dollar amount, add a bank fee to that and convert the amount into one of six currencies.

here is my code
Code:

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

function fees()
{
var Amount=document.getElementById('amount');
var Fees=document.getElementById('bankComm');
	if (Amount.value>=1&&Amount.value<5001)
	{
	Fees.value=20
	}
	if (Amount.value>=5001&&Amount.value<10001)
	{
	Fees.value=30
	}
	if (Amount.value>=10001)
	{
	Fees.value=40
	}
}
function addFees()
{
var Amount=document.getElementById('amount');

I've tried using getElementbyId and using the names, as far as I can tell, it's sytactically correct, but It doesn't seem to work no matter what I do.

I have a headache, actually I have two.
If anyone can help me, I'd be extremely grateful.

Hey I've been working on my Spanish Clubs' website over the summer and I need some help when making this converter. I want to make it so when someone chooses a different country, it will change the answeres and do the equation in the text boxes and also if they change the numbers manually they will also do the equation.

I've tried it out and it's making me go mad. PLEASE HELP!

Here is the javascript code I made:

Code:

function calculatecountry()
{
	var country = calculate.countrys.options[calculate.countrys.selectedIndex].text;
	
	//===============================COUNTRIES====================================
if (countrys=="--Country--")
{
	var usd1 = 0;
	var other1 = 0;
}
if (countrys=="Argentina")
{
	var usd1 = 0.2553;
	var other1 = 1;
}
if (countrys=="Bolivia")
{
	var usd1 = 0.14245;
	var other1 = 1;
}
if (countrys=="Chile")
{
	var usd1 = 0.0018;
	var other1 = 1;
}
	//================================EQUATIONS=====================================
	
	var c1 = calculate.other.value;
	var c2 = calculate.usd.value;
	
	var ans1 = c1 * other1;
	var ans2 = c2 * usd1;
	
	calculate.usd.value = ans1;
	calculate.other.value = ans2;
}

Here is the form code:

Code:

     
<html><head><title></title>

<script type="text/javascript" src="js_money_calc.js"></script>

</head><body>

 Converter
		<form name="calculate">
          <select name="countrys" onChange="calculatecountry()">
          <option selected>--Country--</option>
          <option>Argentina</option>
          <option>Bolivia</option>
          <option>Chile</option>
          </select><p>
            <input type="text" name="usd" onKeyUp="calculatecountry()" /> = <input type="text" name="other" onKeyUp="calculatecountry()" /></p>
          </form>

</body></html>

Thanks.

Hey guys. I am in an introductory computer science class and I am having trouble writing JavaScript code for a currency converter. I can get it to where it spits out numbers, but its always the same numbers. I think there's something wrong in the calculations part of my code but I can't figure it out. I am posting it below, and any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

convertedValue.value = result;
} // end if

if (unit[2].selected)
{
var result = eval(unit[2].value*0.492);
convertedValue.value = result;
} // end if

if (unit[3].selected)
{
var result = eval(unit[3].value*0.706);
convertedValue.value = result;

... or at least adding the commas? I need to format this number as currency. It is within the "flot" code, which is a charting framwork. I dont know anything about javascript at all so bear with me.

Here is part of the code, the piece in red calls for the number. This is what I need displayed with commas, so its easy to read. I have found a few examples on the web but I have no idea how to apply them to this code. Can anyone help?

Code:

var previousPoint = null;
$("#placeholder").bind("plothover", function (event, pos, item) {
$("#x").text(pos.x.toFixed(2));
$("#y").text(pos.y.toFixed(2));
 
if ($("#enableTooltip:checked").length > 0) {
if (item) {
if (previousPoint != item.datapoint) {
previousPoint = item.datapoint;
                    
$("#tooltip").remove();
var x = item.datapoint[0].toFixed(2),
y = item.datapoint[1].toFixed(2);
                    
showTooltip(item.pageX, item.pageY,
'<b>' + item.series.label + '</b> '+ ": " +  y );

Dear All,
On my HTML page, I am trying to use as a snippet the script for automatic currency conversion. It is well known that exchange rates between currency are being changed very often (most of times even daily) and I don't want to republish either page with script or entire website every time the exchange rate changes. For website design I am using xsitepro software because I don't know programming.
So what I would like to have on specific page of website is something similar to table (if anyone has any better recommendation than using a table, please share). In this table I would like to state prices of my services. Primary currency is only one. So in this column, the numbers shouldn't be changed unless I want to change the prices (and of course therefore republish the website, no need to republish sitemap). In the rest of the columns the numbers should be changed immediately, without needing to republish anything (thats the point of the script) and also rounded to each 5. What I mean with ''each 5'' is shown on few of the following random chosen examples (1500):

1500.03 is rounded to 1500
1500.30 is rounded to 1500
1500.50 is rounded to 1500
1502.49 is rounded to 1500
1502.50 is rounded to 1505 (!)
1504.99 is rounded to 1505
1505.01 is rounded to 1505
1507.49 is rounded to 1505
1507.50 is rounded to 1510

and so on. Idea is to prevent from getting coins. So the break point is on 2.50, 7.50, 12.50, 17.50, 22.50, 27.50 and so on. Not sure how to mathematically describe this. Hopefully I was understandable.

I want to have in the columns only the currencies that I am willing to accept if potential client cannot change the currency to my primary one (given in second most left column) in his local exchange office. But I repeat that what Im trying to do is having automatically and immediately updated numerical values on particular HTML page based on most recent exchange rates (of course trustful source is needed).
Since I don't know programming, I did some research on google and discovered this:

http://coinmill.com/webmaster_options.html

The downer script on the right side looks ok but its not even close to what I need due to five reasons:
- it is being converted outside the table
- with such way i cannot clearly show which currency is primary (prefered) one
- conversion is being done to only one other currency at the same time
- no rounding to ''each 5''
- unknown source (and therefore untrustful one) of updating most recent exchange rates

Table such as this one:

http://www.x-rates.com/

looks great but still not meeting my requirements. I would like to replace flags in the left column with ''service 1'', ''service 2'', ''product 1'' etc. Also I have no idea how rounding could be done.
So at the end I would end up with something like (here Im showing only two ''still willing to accept'' currencies just to show an example):


Currency:Euro Currency:American Dollar Currency:Japanese Yen
Service1 500 670 51535
Service2 400 535 41228
Service3 200 265 20614

Top left corner as it is on x-rates.com would be even better.

note: when I previewed my post before submitting, I noticed that the forum doesn't let me make so much spaces but I think those numbers are still understandable where do they belong.

Any help would be muuuuuch appricated

Hi,

I need to create a currency converter using a drop down menu. Firstly i needed to do a regular expressions check to make sure only numerics are entered and I got that. The one thing im pretty confused on is how to do the calculations in the actual function. Ive popped the code below, and if anyone could give me some hints on how to get the data from the drop down menu and calculate it properly that would be awesome. Thanks.
-oh and i know all my coding is here but i think its relevent that you can view it all.
Code:

<html>
<head>
<style type ="text/css">
 @import url(style.css);
</style>

<script type="text/javascript">
  function convert()
  {
    var OK = true;
	var inDollar= document.getElementById('dollars').value;
	var regex= /^\d{1,}$/;
	if (!regex.test(inDollar))
	{
	  OK=false;
	  alert('Australian Dollars must be entered as numeric with no decimal places');
	}
	return OK;
	
	var rate= country.conversion.value;
	
	if (document.getElementByID('conversion').selectedIndex == 0)
	{
	 var rate= country.conversion.value;
	 var convert = inDollar*rate;
	 alert('$'+inDollar+' converts to'+rate+' US Dollars');
	}
	if (document.getElementByID('conversion').selectedIndex == 1)
	{
	 var rate= country.conversion.value;
	 var convert = inDollar*rate;
     alert('$'+inDollar+' converts to'+rate+' Euro');
	}
	if (document.getElementByID('conversion').selectedIndex == 2)
	{
	 var rate= country.conversion.value;
	 var convert = inDollar*rate;
     alert('$'+inDollar+' converts to'+rate+' Yuan');
	}
	if (document.getElementByID('conversion').selectedIndex == 3)
	{
	 var rate= country.conversion.value;
	 var convert = inDollar*rate;
     alert('$'+inDollar+' converts to'+rate+' Yen');
	}
	
  }
 </script>
</head>
<body>
 <h1>Currency Page</h1>

I can only seem to find really complicated ones online, nothing simple which i think this is. Thanks
