JavaScript - Forms And Functions

Is there a way to activate a function from another function? It has to be in the script tag, it can't be in the HTML section. Can I use something similar to this following code? If not, can anyone give me some help? I have tried to do it various ways, and have looked it up a few times, but to no avail. Can I use something similar to this following code? If not, can anyone give me some help?

if (condition)
{activate functionname();}

Any help I can get would be appreciated. Thanks a lot to anyone who can help.

I would really like to thank the guys that have been helping me. I think my brain would have exploded otherwize. Some of the problems have been simple misspellings, but when you have been staring at the same thing for hours it can sorta slip by.

HOPEFULLY this will be the last thing that I need some help with.

Bascially Im not sure if Im using the function command properly. When Submit Details is click it should validate the form and then when Calculate is pressed calculate the form (obviously).

I think maybe my var Array table is wrong? And the way the functions are set out doesnt seem it sit right.

Code:

 <script type="text/javascript">
				
				var element;
				var itemArray = new Array();
				itemArray [0] = "Bike"		//not sure if these are properly writen?//
				itemArray [1] = "TV"
				itemArray [2] = "iPod"
				itemArray [3] = "Car"
				var flag="OK";
				var count = 0
				
				document.write ("<form name='myform'><br><table>");
				while (count <= 3)
					{
					if (count < 3)
						{
						document.write ("<tr><td><value>Enter money from " + itemArray [count] + " sale.</td><td><input type='text' name=" + itemArray [count] + "></td></tr>");
						count++
						}
					else
						{
						document.write ("<tr><td><value>Enter the price of " + itemArray [count] + ".</td><td><input type='text' name=" + itemArray [count] + "></td></tr>");
						document.write ("<tr><td><input type='submit' value='Submit Details' onClick='validateform'</td></tr>");
						document.write ("<tr><td><input type='submit' value='Calculate Details' onClick='calculateform'</td></tr></table></form>");
						count++
						}
					}

function validateform()		//<=== doesnt run
{				
				element=document.getElementsByTagName ('input');
				for (counter=0; counter<element.length; counter++)
				{
					
					switch (element[counter].type)
						{
							case "submit":
							break;
							default:
							if (isNaN(element[counter].value) || (element[counter].value == "") )
								{
									alert("You need to enter a number into " + element[counter].name);
									flag="NotOK"
								}
							else
								{
									Bike=element[0].value;
									TV=element[1].value;
									iPod=element[2].value;
									Car=element[3].value;
								}
							break;	
						}
				}
}

function calculateform()	//<=== Doesnt run either
{
			if (flag=="OK")
				{
					if	(	(Number(element[Bike])) && (Number(element[TV])) && (Number(element[iPod])) && (Number(element[Car]))	)   //<========= Gets Bike is not defined error easy//
						{
						
						TotalMoney= parseFloat (Bike) + parseFloat (TV) + parseFloat (iPod)
						if 	(TotalMoney >= Car)
							{
							alert ("The total money is " + TotalMoney + " and the car price is " + Car + " and you can afford the car")
							}
						else
							{
							alert ("The total money is " + TotalMoney + " and the car price is " + Car + " and you cannot afford the car")
							}
						}
				}
}

Hi,
I am creating a mashUp with google maps and have a function that creates the map, marker, infowindow and all works great.
I want to add more functions to that functions file.
Do I start with another function Name() put my function in the {} and then I am going to use the onclick event when I want the function to run.
I also am going to add more functions to this file

Is that the correct way to keep adding functions?

And what is the best way of calling them in my html file?

Answers and examples would be great

thank you

I'm a newbie student coder for now, hoping to enter the wonderful world of software engineering in another year.

I put together a very simple site for a class and all is well, but my "Contact SRS" form doesn't seem to want to run my JavaScript code even though I've used a JS debugger which returned no errors.

When I click the Submit button it's supposed to validate the form. But I keep getting "Error on page" in the bottom IE 7 message bar (where it usually says "Done" when you load a page). There is another function that also does not work - it's in the Telephone number fields - it' supposed to check that the values entered are numbers.

Would anyone be kind enough to try to run this page in your browser and see if the validation functions runs for you? If they don't, could you offer any suggestions as to code errors or possible browser settings that might be causing the problem?

Thanks in advance to anyone offering their time!!!

im no jQuery rookie

but for the first time ...instead of simply writing out the animation

jQuery('element').hide()

in that way.... i instead needed to keep track of the functions so i wrote it like

function hidetheElement() {
jQuery('element').hide()
}

but now i need to run 2 of those functions together after a click ...for example

jQuery('ClickedElement').click(
movethelement,hidethelement
)

see what i mean?....i dont know how to properly run two defined functions
whats the proper syntax....


and here is my actual code for reference
(its basically a menu link being clicked...hiding one page...and showing another....i needed to define the functions so if a menu link is clicked it could hide every other page first...by function....and then call a function to show the page


Code:

jQuery(document).ready( function() {
jQuery('#ladiesmenu').click(
previewoff,ladieson
);

function previewoff() {
	jQuery('#preview').fadeOut(500);
}

function ladieson() {
	jQuery('#ladies').fadeIn(500);
}

I need to input the functions for the buttons ( Push, Pop,Peek, Enqueue, and Dequeue) nothing I try works. Can anyone possible help me with one of the push, pop or peek, and then one of the Enqueue or Dequeue (any information I see online always has to do with wordpress which im not using) . Im really not asking for someone to do all the work for me, I just need a start. ok here is my code with the buttons just no functions

Why do we have functions without parentheses at times?

Ex 1)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OHYFNDzlDTE (On 2:18)


Ex 2)

At the bottom:
Code:

var panel, flag;

function mousemoveResponse(e)
{ 
 var x, y;

  if( window.event )
  { 
    x= event.x; y=event.y; 
  }
  else if(e)
  { 
    x=e.pageX; y=e.pageY; 
  }

  if(flag)
  {
    panel.innerHTML = "Mouse is at X: " + x + ", Y: " + y ; 
  } 
}

function mouseoverResponse()
{  
  flag = false; 
  panel.innerHTML = "Mouse is Over"; 
}

function mouseoutResponse()
{ 
  flag = true ;
}

function init()
{
 panel=document.getElementById("panel");
 flag = true;
 panel.innerHTML="Move the mouse..." ;
 
 document.onmousemove=mousemoveResponse;
 panel.onmouseover=mouseoverResponse; 
 panel.onmouseout=mouseoutResponse; 

}
 onload=init; 

Code:

<html>
<head>


<script>
//declare variable
//var temp = 0;
var Num = parseInt(prompt('Enter an Intger'));


// starts the function factorial
factorial(Num);

//The function is declared
function factorial(currentNumber) {

  if(currentNumber > 1) {
      //temp = temp + (currentNumber);
      factorial(currentNumber - 1);
      alert(currentNumber);
  }
  else {
      alert("here");
  }
}
</script>

</head>

<body>
</body>

</html>

This code is suppose to take the prompt number and keep subtracting one if > 1 but it seems to be not doing that at all and doing the else statement first then + till it gets to the prompt number. I have been staring at it for a while now and cant work it out.

Thanks

I created a For Loop and counter starts at 0, then increase in increments of 1
after each iteration of loop i run a command
1( add html code such as Code:

<td>named (part)</td>
<td class= 'num'>votes</td>

Then create variable of named percent use totalV for value of sum parameter

then i add html code of Code:

<td class='num'>(percent%(</td>

then i add a function named createBar(0 using race[0], name1, party1, and votes1 in parameter values

this is my coding
Code:

for (var i=0; i < name.length; i++)
{
document.write("<tr>");
document.write("<td>" name[i] + "(" + party[i] + ")</td>");
document.write("<td class='num'>" + votes[i] + "</td>");
 
var percent=calcPercent(votes[i], totalV)
 
document.write("<td class='num'>(" + percent +"%)</td>");
 
createBar(party[i],percent)
document.write("</tr>");
}
document.write("</table>");
}
</script>

</head>

so any improvements or what i am missing in my functions.

Hi, I'm very new to Javascript and I need some help on calling some existing functions.

What i want to do is create a new function to call the first test1 and then call test2 to turn on the checkbox. i hope this isn't confusing.

Code:

function test1(inStore,onSale,newItem)
{
var daURL;
if (inStore==true)
{
BSSetStoreOnly(true);
daURL="s-2-Online-Store.aspx?ms=bsm1";
if (onSale==true){
daURL+='&SaleOnly=1';
} 

} else {
BSSetStoreOnly(false);
daURL="s-1-Our-Products.aspx?ms=bsm1"; 

if(newItem==true)
{
daURL+='&NewOnly=1';
}
}

location=daURL;
}

function test2()
{
var pInc;

chk=document.getElementById("chkAll");
pInc=readCookie("overrideURL");

if (pInc==null)
{
pInc=0;
}
if (pInc==0) {
chk.checked=false;
} else {
chk.checked=true;
}


} 

function callingTest1Test2 {

}

Hello, I have a very large function that activates on one click. It does many individual events that modify my site. They all work seperately but when I put them in a single function they all break. Is there a way, order or priority for putting large things of code in functions?

I tried doing {} blocks but it didn't help.

Hello,

I'm very very new to javascript and HTML but i've gotten pretty far untill i hit this problem.

In my HTML i have 3 div's each of them has an Id. Now when i load the page all of them are hidden. The idea is that when you push a link (a thumbmail) the div (which is basically an embedded video) pops up. All of this worked fine with a small java function that changes the display setting in the CSS file from block to none and back again. The problem is that when you open a second div the first one doesn't disappear. I though i would try writing a very simple functions that hides every div besides the one you just clicked on. Even though I combined the functions in one master function, I can't get the hide part to work.

Here's the HTML code
Code:

 
<div id="blokReel" style="display:none;">

content

</div>

<div id="blokDiner" style="display:none;">

content

</div>

<div id="blokKitsune" style="display:none;">

content

</div>

<div id="bloklinks">

<p>(click once to open player click again to close)</p>
<p class="title">animation reel</p>
<ul id="galleryMOV">
	<li>
		<a href="javascript:void(0)";
			onclick="Eval('blokReel','blokDiner','blokKitsune');">
		<img src="img/stringsfini.jpg" alt="description"class="thumb"/>
		<span class="caption">caption caption caption</span>
		</a></li></ul>

<p class="title">full movies</p>
<ul id="galleryMOV">
	<li>
		<a href="javascript:void(0)";
			onclick="Eval('blokDiner','blokReel','blokKitsune');">
		<img src="img/stringsfini.jpg" alt="description"class="thumb"/>
		<span class="caption">caption caption caption</span>
		</a></li>
	<li>
		<a href="javascript:void(0)";
			onclick="Eval('blokKitsune','blokReel','blokDiner');">
		<img src="img/stringsfini.jpg" alt="description"class="thumb"/>
		<span class="caption">caption caption caption</span>
		</a></li></ul>
</div>

So 3 div and 3 thumbnail links that have an onclick event called Eval().

Here's the javascript code

Code:

function Eval(element1, element2, element3) {
	
	ShowHide(element1);
	Hide(element2);
	Hide(element3);
}

function ShowHide(elementId)
{
	var wijzig = document.getElementById(elementId);
	if(wijzig.style.display != "block")
	{
		wijzig.style.display = "block";
	}
	else
	{
		wijzig.style.display = "none";
	}
}

function Hide(blok) 
{
	var verborgen = document.getElementByld(blok);
	verborgen.style.display = "none";
}

I'm viewing the html in safari 3.2.1

thanks for your time,

I'm trying to create a script that has a countdown and at each second, a div is created on the page with some content. How to run both functions at the same time at the click of a button? Thanks to the answer!

I made a wait time (3 seconds) in a function I made, yet when I call the function, it spam throws "iterating"
and crashes Chrome.

Code:

function Check() {
	setTimeout(Check,3000);{
		location.reload();
		document.getElementsByClassName("Item")[0].click();
	}
}
while (document.getElementById('ctl00_cphRoblox_rbxUserPane_lUserOnlineStatus').getAttribute("class") === "UserOfflineMessage" || document.getElementById('ctl00_cphRoblox_rbxUserPane_lUserOnlineStatus').getAttribute("class") === "UserOnlineMessage") {
	Check();
}
