JavaScript - For...in Loop Problem

Hello... Thanks for reading...

I am getting an undefined error when i try to get a value from this array in the interior loop...

Code:

// This is the array I am trying to access
AuditTable [0] = ["Visio Modifed date","Word Modified Date","User Status","User Comment","Last Audit","Audit Status","Audit Comment"]
AuditTable [1] = ["11/23/2009 8:52:18 AM","missing","OK","user comment number 1","1/1/2009","ok","audit comment number 1"]
AuditTable [2] = ["11/24/2009 12:21:19 AM","missing","Out of Date","Changes from 2008 not implemented","1/2/2009","Out of Date","needs update"]
AuditTable [3] = ["11/22/2009 9:24:42 PM","missing","Incomplete","Document doesnt cover all possibilities","1/3/2009","Inadequate","needs update"]

I have hard coded values and had success such as:
Code:

data = AuditTable[1][0]

But when I put the vars associated with the loop in I get an undefined error - AuditTable[i] is undefined:
Code:

// produces error
data = AuditTable[i][j]
//Works but retrieves wrong data
data = AuditTable[j][i]
//Works but retrieves wrong data
data = AuditTable[1][i]
//Works but retrieves wrong data
data = AuditTable[j][2]

I must be trying to access the array incorrectly or something... I have defined all the vars, and tried many combinations, alerted the values of both vars so I can prove it is not a scope issue... Am I missing something obvious? Thanks much...

Code:

var reportArray=new Array();
var reportData, title, subTitle, data;
		

for(i in parmarray)// loop thru AuditTable array and get values
		{
			title = '<div style="font-family:verdana; font-size:14px; font-weight:bold; margin:25px 0px 5px 30px">';
			title += namearray[i][0];
			title += '</div>';
			reportArray.push(title);//Take compiled variable value and put it into array
			
			for(j=0; j < AuditTable[0].length; j++)// loop thru AuditTable array and get values
			{
				
				subTitle = AuditTable[0][j];//points to first row of AuditTable where the labels are
				data = AuditTable[1][0];//points to the current row where actual data is
				
				html = i + j +'<div style="font-family:verdana; font-size:12px; color:#696969; font-weight:bold; margin-left:30px;">';
				html += subTitle;
				html += '</div><div style="font-family:verdana; font-size:12px; color:#a9a9a9; margin-left:30px; margin-bottom:10px">';
				html += data;
				html += "</div>";

				reportArray.push(html);// put results into array
			}		
		}

it wont loop, as long as you enter something in the name field it will submit. also how do i stop from submitting if all fields are not filled out? any help will be appreciated)

Hi,

I am doing some studying and we was to create a small loop using either the for loop, while loop or do while loop. I chose to do the for loop because it was easier to understand, but I want to know how to do the same using the while loop. Here is the for loop I have, but I cant figure out how to change to while loop.

Code:

for (var i = 0; i < 5; ++i)
{
    for (var j = i; j < 5; ++j)
{
         document.write(j + "");
  }
  document.write("<br />");
}

output is equal to:
01234
1234
234
34
4

How do you make the same using a while loop?

I have a form that shows or hides divs based on what is chosen in a dropdown.

There are 4 divs but only one is shown and the other 3 hidden based on dropdown selection.

Inside each div are checkboxes with items for sale.

I want to reset the checkboxes to unchecked and the line total values to 0 if the div is hidden. I've got the checkboxes to reset but I can't figure out how to set the line total values to 0 (There are 14 total so I'm trying to loop thru all of them and reset them.)

This is what I have in the loop

Code:

	for (var i = 0; i < form.elements.length; i++ ) {
		if (form.elements[i].type == 'checkbox') {
			form.elements[i].checked = false;
 		}
	}
	 // set line_totals to 0
	 for (var j = 0; j< form.elements.length; j++ ) {
		if (form.elements [j].name.substring(0,10) == 'line_total') {
			form.elements[j].value = '';
 		}
	}

Hey guys i've just been following a few tutorials and learnt how to do a for loop and a while loop, what is the major difference between the two? they seem quite similar? I know while loops are laid out a hell of a lot easier in my opinion!

Hi All,

im trying to to use a for loop to loop through a drop down list of users and if there is a match between the user logged in and the drop down list i want to enable two fields, if the user logged in isnt in the drop down list i want to disable the two fields,

but im having trouble looping through, iv tried ".value" with no avail.. heres my Script

Code:

            var RequestingUser = document.getElementById('JoinersLeaversContent_cmbRequestingUser').text;
            var Authorisers = document.getElementById('JoinersLeaversContent_ddlAuthoriseId');
            for (var i = 0; i < Authorisers.length; i++) 
            {
                if (RequestingUser.text == Authorisers.value) {
                    document.getElementById('JoinersLeaversContent_txtAuthoriserSig').disabled = false;
                    document.getElementById('JoinersLeaversContent_txtDateSignedOff').disabled = false;
                }
                else 
                {
                    document.getElementById('JoinersLeaversContent_txtAuthoriserSig').disabled = true;
                    document.getElementById('JoinersLeaversContent_txtDateSignedOff').disabled = true;            
                }
           }

So just to be clear, if the user logged in appears in the drop down box i want to enable the two fields, if they dont appear i want to disable the two fields

Please help.

Thank you

Hello, I recently purchased a JavaScript book, and I am confused by one of it's examples. I was wondering if anybody could answer my question.

Here is the example:

for (loopCounter = 1; loopCounter<= 3; loopCounter++)
{
//execute this code
}

Now, what I need help with is the variable part.

The book goes on to say: ""To keep track of how many times you have looped through the code, you need a variable to keep count"

My question is: Why does the variable have the value of one and not another number?

I'm very very new to JS, I understand that the loopCounter has to be les than or equal to 3 for the code to execute, and also that it is incremented by one each loop, but the book is not clear on why the value of the variable has been set to 1.

If anybody could answer this question I would be very grateful, I hate moving onto the next stage of a book if I do not completely understand the previous topics.

Thank you in advance

For those who read my other thread I finally scratched together the code to take a value from an XML file and add it to a select box as an option. Ofcourse it only does it once so I need to loop it. It's kinda complex though, here's a function line to add one option:
addOption(document.people_form.People,name2,office2)

And here's the code in the head:

<script type="text/javascript">
//load xml file
if (window.ActiveXObject){
var xmlDoc = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM");
xmlDoc.async=false; //Enforce download of XML file first. IE only.
}
else if (document.implementation && document.implementation.createDocument)
var xmlDoc= document.implementation.createDocument("","doc",null);
if (typeof xmlDoc!="undefined")
xmlDoc.load("namedata.xml");

//Regular expression used to match any non-whitespace character
var notWhitespace = /\S/

function getnames(){
//Cache "messages" element of xml file
var nameobj=xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("list")[0]

//REMOVE white spaces in XML file. Intended mainly for NS6/Mozilla
for (i=0;i<nameobj.childNodes.length;i++){
if ((nameobj.childNodes[i].nodeType == 3)&&
(!notWhitespace.test(nameobj.childNodes[i].nodeValue))) {
// that is, if it's a whitespace text node
nameobj.removeChild(msgobj.childNodes[i])
i--
}
}
}

if (typeof xmlDoc!="undefined"){
if (window.ActiveXObject) //if IE, simply execute script (due to async prop).
getnames()
else //else if NS6, execute script when XML object has loaded
xmlDoc.onload=getnames
}
var name2=xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("name")[0].firstChild.nodeValue;
var office2=xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("office")[0].firstChild.nodeValue;
var officePH2=xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("officePH")[0].firstChild.nodeValue;
var mobile2=xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("mobile")[0].firstChild.nodeValue;
var email2=xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("email")[0].firstChild.nodeValue;
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
function addOption(selectbox,text,value )
{
var optn = document.createElement("OPTION");
optn.text = text;
optn.value = value;
selectbox.options.add(optn);
}
</script>



Could anyone give me a pointer on how to loop this so that it loads one option after another from the XML file? Thanks.

I have the following code which is almost completely working the way I need it to with the exception of the "downloadFile" value...

Code:

/*Regex list of download file extensions, pipe and backslash delimited. Looks for the period before the file type so it will work on download links with query parameters after it */
var downloadTypes = /\.pdf|\.doc|\.xls|\.zip|\.csv|\.ppt|\.rtf|\.pptx|\.docx|\.xlsx|\.wmv|\.mpg|\.exe|\.mp3|\.rar|\.wav/i; 

/*Regex list of on-site domains, pipe and backslash delimited. */
var onsiteDomains = /\mytestdomain1\.com|\mytestdomain2\.com|javascript|#/i; 

/*Used to unobtrusivly add events to objects*/
function unobtrusiveAddEvent (element,event,fn) {
   var old = (element[event]) ? element[event] : function () {};
   element[event] = function () {fn(); old();};
}

var links = document.links;
if ( links ){
	for(var i=0; i<links.length; i++) {
		if( links[i].href.match(downloadTypes) ){
		unobtrusiveAddEvent( links[i], 'onclick' , function() { ntptEventTag('ev=download&eventPage=Download From: ' + escape( wa.currentDomain + wa.currentURL ) + '& downloadFile=' + escape( links[i] ) ); });
		}
		if( !links[i].href.match(onsiteDomains) ){
		unobtrusiveAddEvent( links[i], 'onclick' , function() { ntptEventTag('lk=1&ev=Exit Link'); });
		}
	}
}

...how do I grab the value of the href that was just clicked? links[i] is not working (it's just grabbing the href value of the last href in the loop). I am missing something simple for sure. Can anyone point out what I am missing?

Thanks!

Hello all.

I am faitly new at programming and have run into a little problem.

I want to create a script that creates 2 random numbers, stored in 2 different variables and then compare them to eachother.

there is two possible outcome of that comparison, either they are different or they are alike.

If they are different i want to randomize a new set or numbers and make a other comparement, also to keep track on how many times i have created numbers.

If they are alike i want to display the numbers and how many tries it took to get a matching pair.


atm it looks like this

<html>
<body>
<script>
var x=(Math.floor(Math.random()*6)+1);
var y=(Math.floor(Math.random()*6)+1);
//creates two random int between 1 and 6
var throws = 1;
//keep tabs on how many times we have thrown the dices

if(x!=y)
{
x=(Math.floor(Math.random()*6)+1);
y=(Math.floor(Math.random()*6)+1);
throws=throws+1
}else{
document.write("you have rolled a pair. Dice 1 is: " +x +" and Dice 2 is: " +y +" and it took " +throws +" tries to get a pair.");
}

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


How to get that into a loop?

a really confused newbie scripter

The following bit of javascript grabs a URL, checks whether it contains the string "abcjournals", and if so, replaces any subdomain before the "abcjournals" with "test.abcjournals". e.g. xyz.abcjournals becomes test.abcjournals.

Code:

<script type="text/javascript">
var loc = window.location.href;
   if (loc.match(/abcjournals/)) {
       loc = loc.replace(/[a-z]+\.abcjournals/, "test.abcjournals");
       window.location.replace(loc);
   }
/script>

The above code works successfully, except that the page refreshes in an endless loop. If I add a "break;" or "exit;" after the window.location.replace line, there is no endless loop, but the URL string doesn't get replaced as expected.

I've also tried using a "var i = 0;" adding "&& (i===0)" to the IF statement, and incrementing i within the IF statement; but again, the string doesn't get replaced as expected.

Any suggestions much appreciated!

How would you use setInterval so that theres a delay each time javascript runs through a certain loop?

I'm super stuck. Is it possible to increment in a for...in loop? This is what I'm trying to do, but the increments aren't happening. Any help or advice is much appreciated!!


Code:

var i_1 = 3;
var i_2 = 8;
		
for (var key in data.id) {

	if ([key] < '4')
	{
		attach_to = '.active';
	}
	else if ([key] > i_1 && [key] < i_2)
	{
		attach_to = '.item_' + i_1;

	}
	
	document.write(attach_to + '<br/>' + i_1+ '<br/>');
	i_1 + 4;
	i_2 + 4; 
}

I am learning JavaScript and found these tutorials at http://www.codecademy.com/courses/pr...#!/exercises/3 this is the one I got stuck on, I don't understand .. I just seem to have a block on what to do to this to make it change the while condition so that this do/while loop iterates 4 times like the tutorial wants me to do ... I have had to kill the page because it seems to be making a loop that messes w/ the browser and locks it up.
??

Code:

var i = 4;
do {
  console.log("This is iteration " + (i + 1) + ".");
  i++;
}
while( );

hey, I am trying to rotate 3 images continuously when onmouseover, currently I have a code but this code doesn't rotate continuously and only use 2 images. can you help me develop my code?
