JavaScript - Why My Code Is Not Working-inserting New P
I am trying to insert a new paragraph with javascript, however my code is not working, even though i pretty much copied my code from the book. Could someone please tell me why i have a problem with a script below?
Thank you very much. <script type="text/javascript"> function newtext() { var myPara=document.createElement("p"); var text="We sincerely hope that you are enjoying learning Javascript"; var paratext=document.createTextNode(text); myPara.appendChild(paratext); } </script> <p> <a href="#" onclick="newtext()"; return: true;> Insert new text </a> </p> Similar TutorialsHow would I insert bbc code around selected text in a textbox like it is in this forum? I'm quite new to javascript, so please try to explain it simply Thank you, ~AngelMare So im working on a case where I need to make a random ad pop up every time I refresh that web page. I've got all the steps down except to where I need to insert a command to write the text to the document. *Insert a command to write the following text to the Web document: Code: <a href="URL"> <img src="adn.jpg" alt="description" /> </a> where URL is the value of the rLink variable, n is the value of the rNumber variable, and description is the value of the rAD variable. what I have so far (all steps completed) is Code: <script type="text/javascript">
var rNumber= randInt(5);// generate a random integer from 1 to 5.
var rAd= adDescription(rNumber);// description of the random ad.
var rLink= adLink(rNumber);// URL of the random ad.
document.write('<a href'"+rLink+"'><img src="ad'+rNumber+'.jpg" alt="'+rAd+'"/></a>');
</script>
the bolded is the question, I know some quotes are out of order but I cant figure out which. any help would be appreciated I've been trying to figure this out for quite a while now and I am at the end of my rope here. Ok a guy wanted me to edit the template to his ZenCart installation, this is no big deal as I am a graphics guy with a tiny bit of knowledge for actually doing websites. He wants a popup menu on the top he says later and the list he gave had like 37 links...lol I didn't want to write all that out - so I bought a program that makes the menu and you just insert the code. (This works fine if I insert it into a normal html file) So I get these instructions from the program - copy this code and insert it into the webpage: Code: <script language="javascript">var MenuFolderName="";</script><script charset="UTF-8" language="javascript" src="sftmp6arrays.js"></script><script charset="UTF-8" language="javascript" src="sfmenutmp6ie.js"></script> To copy two generated files to the web directory: sftmp6arrays.js sfmenutmp6ie.js That is it. Except - ZenCart is apparently more frustrating than my girlfriend. So I find out I need to put all the JS files in a jscript folder of the template. Then I need to paste the code above into a file and save it as jscript_topmenu.js I find out - that a file called "html_header.php" makes the site load all javascript. This template doesn't have it - so I copy that file from another template and put it in the template/common/ folder. And nothing is happening. Even if I dance in circles and say magic words...nothing happens. I swear. I'm going bald. So look - I presume that I need to call that script in the tpl_header.php file but I don't know how. Then I read that I also need to get rid of the <script> </script> stuff in the js file mentioned above. I am so confused. Can someone please tell me - the idiot <- that's me so talk to me like one so I get it please. - what I need to do. I will cook you grilled cheese. I will do whatever it takes. Please put an end to this misery. Please. Thanks. Hey everyone here is my code for looking up a city, and state by zip code. I am getting no errors and i believe it should work, but the code does not seem to want to function. Any ideas?

I wrote a script that should loop through the list of countries, and if the entry's width exceeds 70px, it should cut the extra letters and insert "..." at the end of the entry; My codes produces unexpected results. The script only modifies the entry"United States", by replacing it with "Cook Isla...". I suspect I don't use the while loop properly. Plus the script does not work at all in IE. Could someone have a look and give me a hint what went wrong. Thank you very much!!! Code: <html>

Hey all, I have a javascript object which I have created and it works fine until I remove the second message box from the program steps. The alert box was only ever meant to be there for error debugging to steop me through the code. Any ideas? Code: function hyper() {
this.test = "";
this.load = function(lib, ver) {
alert("Starting API Library Load");
var oHead = document.getElementsByTagName('HEAD').item(0);
var oScript= document.createElement("script");
oScript.type = "text/javascript";
oScript.src=lib + "/" + ver + "/api.js";
oHead.appendChild( oScript);
alert("Finished Loading Library");
switch(lib) {
case "test":
this.test = new test();
break;
case "ads":
this.ads = new HAds();
break;
case "chat":
this.chat = new HChat();
break;
case "survey":
this.survey = new HSurvey();
break;
default:
alert("No Library");
};
}
}
This code originally worked, but now it doesn't. It's suppose to count the number of characters you type. The form processes fine, but it's not counting, it always says 1,000 in the box. Any ideas? Thanks Code: <script type = "text/javascript">
var maxLen = 1000; // max number of characters allowed // global variable
var max = "You may enter up to " + maxLen + " characters"; // global variable
function OnPaste () {
//return false; // cancels (blocks) the onpaste event. Uncomment this line to block pasting
setTimeout(checkMaxInput,100); // delay is necessary
}
function initCount() {
document.getElementById("limit").innerHTML = max;
document.getElementById("remLen").value = maxLen;
}
function checkMaxInput() {
var form = document.myform; // or document.forms[0] or document.getElementById("myform");
if (form.txtarea.value.length > maxLen) { // if too long.... trim it!
form.txtarea.value = form.txtarea.value.substring(0, maxLen);
document.getElementById("message").innerHTML = "Too many characters were entered!! The excess over " + maxLen + " have been removed.";
}
else {
document.getElementById("message").innerHTML = "";
}
form.remLen.value = maxLen - form.txtarea.value.length;
}
</script>
<body onload = "initCount()">
<form name = "myform" id = "myform">
<span id = "limit" style="font-size: 10pt;color: #FF0000;font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"></span>
<br>
<textarea name="txtarea" wrap=physical cols=48 rows=10 onkeyup="checkMaxInput()" onblur="checkMaxInput()" onpaste="OnPaste ()" >
</textarea>
<br>
<input readonly type=text name=remLen id = "remLen" size=3 value = ""> characters left</font>
</form>
<span id = "message" style="color:red";></span>
Hi all, I've found a small script that displays the current time. The only problem is that it only works with IE and I'd like to make it work on all browsers (or at least Mozilla) Would you mind helping me ? Note: I'd like to keep the code using the "span" tag Here's the html code (to show the way I call the script): Code: <html> <head> <SCRIPT language="JavaScript" SRC="clock.js"></SCRIPT> </head> <body onLoad="clock()" bgcolor="#ECEDF3"> <font face="Verdana" size="1" color="#88A6C0"><span id="pendule" ></span> </body> </html> and here's the script I use (It's an external script that I called clock.js): I believe the declarations are OK and the problem comes from "document." I know there are differences the way IE and other browsers manage scripts but I'm not enough experienced to find all variants. Code: <!-- Begin
function clock() {
if (!document.layers && !document.all) return;
var digital = new Date();
var hours = digital.getHours();
var minutes = digital.getMinutes();
var seconds = digital.getSeconds();
var amOrPm = "AM";
if (hours > 11) amOrPm = "PM";
if (hours > 12 ) hours = hours - 12;
if (hours == 0) hours = "00";
if (minutes <= 9) minutes = "0" + minutes;
if (seconds <= 9) seconds = "0" + seconds;
dispTime = hours + ":" + minutes + ":" + seconds + " " + amOrPm;
if (document.layers) {
document.layers.pendule.document.write(dispTime);
document.layers.pendule.document.close();
}
else
if (document.all)
pendule.innerHTML = dispTime;
setTimeout("clock()", 1000);
}
// End -->
Any idea about what's wrong ? Thank you for your help Gino This code is not working correctly when you type get_data it should only work if you already have typed load_hacker. But get_data works withought load_hacker.
Code: <script type="text/javascript">
function command(){
if(command.value = "load_hacker" && level.value == 1){
document.getElementById("command").value = "";
document.getElementById("number").value = "";
plus();
}
else
{
document.getElementById("command").value = "...";
document.getElementById("number").value = "...";
}
if(command.value = "get_data" && level.value == 2){
document.getElementById("command").value = "";
document.getElementById("number").value = "";
plus();
}
else
{
document.getElementById("number").value = "...";
document.getElementById("command").value = "...";
}
}
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
function plus(){
document.getElementById("level").value ++;
}
</script>
><input type="text" value="" id="command" size="" style="background-color:transparent;border:0px solid white;" />
#<input type="text" value="" id="number" size="10" style="background-color:transparent;border:0px solid white;" /> <input type="button" value="Enter" onclick="command()" />
<input type="hidden" value= 1 id="level" />
index.html Code: <html> <head> <title>:: wtmp</title> </head> <body> <p>Welcome to my page</p> <script type="text/javascript" src="file.js"></script> </body> </html> file.js Code: function one(p1, p2) {
var j_text=p1+" "+p2;
return j_text;
}
function two() {
var rslt=one("Hi", "there!");
}
document.write(rslt);
var mainscrpt=one("Hello", "world!");
window.alert(mainscrpt);
This code works in all browsers, Safari, Chrome, Firefox, but not IE 8 in which I'm testing right now for version. The code is below: Code:
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#form_{picture_id}').ajaxForm(function() {
$(function() {
setTimeout(function() {
$("#picture_description").show('blind', {}, 800)
}, 1000);
setTimeout(function() {
$("#picture_description").hide('blind', {}, 800)
}, 11000);
});
});
});
</script>
What am I doing wrong. The code simply calls the form, then shows a DIV via BLIND then hides it using the same effect. The picture_id in {} is simply smarty PHP. Any help is much much appreciated! Any idea why this doesn't work? I'm trying to hide the li with ID of facebook1 if the innerHTML is one of two things. But if both return false and there is more code in there (e.g. a full url), I want to show the li with ID of facebook1 and also add the text 'Facebook Profile' to the span with ID of fbook-add. Code: <ul>
<li id="facebook1"><a href="http://facebook.com"><span id="fbook-add"></span></a></li>
</ul>
<script type="text/javascript">
if(document.getElementById('facebook1').innerHTML.toLowerCase()=='<a href="http://"><span id="fbook-add"></span></a>')
{
document.getElementById('facebook1').style.display='none';
}
else if(document.getElementById('facebook1').innerHTML.toLowerCase()=='<a href=""><span id="fbook-add"></span></a>')
{
document.getElementById('facebook1').style.display='none';
} else
{
document.getElementById('fbook-add').innerHTML=='Facebook Profile';
}

}
This code works fine when I set this line to false Code: req.open('POST','server/userChck.php',false);
but as soon as I set this to true. I doesn't work.... What am I doing wrong here? Code: <html>
