JavaScript - How The Browser Understand This Code
i wrote like this:
Code: var a = function b(){
return b;
};
alert(a() === a );
and ie6~ie8 return false , ie9 chrome ff return true. how to explain it? and Code: var a = function b(){
};
alert( typeof b );
b is undefined in most of browser but is function in ie6~ie8, that's why? thx Similar TutorialsI have seen this code-piece different places - to use to make a webpage redirect if it is a mobilephone. I don't quit understand the code - especially the line: if (redirectagent.indexOf(redirect_devices[i]) != -1) - why -1 ? Please help me - I would be so thankful. Code: <script language=javascript>
var redirectagent = navigator.userAgent.toLowerCase();
var redirect_devices = ['vnd.wap.xhtml+xml', 'sony', 'symbian', 'nokia', 'samsung', 'mobile', 'windows ce', 'epoc', 'nitro', 'j2me', 'midp-', 'cldc-', 'netfront', 'mot', 'up.browser', 'up.link', 'audiovox', 'blackberry', 'ericsson', 'panasonic', 'philips', 'sanyo', 'sharp', 'sie-', 'portalmmm', 'blazer', 'avantgo', 'danger', 'palm', 'series60', 'palmsource', 'smartphone', 'rover', 'au-mic', 'alcatel', 'ericy', 'vodafone', 'wap1', 'wap2', 'teleca',, 'lge', 'lg-', 'iphone', 'android', 'htc', 'dream', 'webos', 'bolt', ];
for (var i in redirect_devices) {
if (redirectagent.indexOf(redirect_devices[i]) != -1) {
location.replace("http://www.example.com");
}
}

Hello, I couldn't find another thread that had this problem but it seems like it would be fairly simple. I am also just now starting to learn JavaScript. But when I enter this code into Notepad++ Code: <HTML>
<HEAD>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<SCRIPT type = "text/javascript">
document.write("Hello World");
</SCRIPT>
</BODY>
</HTML>
Instead of printing out "Hello World" as it should, it simply shows me the code I wrote line for line. I have tried opening in both Chrome and IE and since all other webpages work fine I assume that both browsers have javascript enabled. Thanks in advance I'll be the first to admit, I am not skilled with javascript, but I can do a little work here and there. I remember learning there is a way to detect a user's/viewer's browser. Is there a possible javascript that allows me to detect a viewer's browser, the based on the browser, selects css/html to use so that the website is viewed correctly?
Hello all,I have a website and I would like a pop-up window to promote a new website venture I have. I would like for the new website to open in a completely new window/browser when my members simply click on the index page (No link or Buttons).The code below does most of what I ask lol,but it.. 1.Only opens in a new tab (in same browser) while I would like for it to open in a completely new browser "full page" menu bar scroll tab and all. plus 2.It seems to open each and every time the page is clicked,which will be annoying to my members.I would only like for it to open 1 time per visitor every 24 hours or whenever cookies are cleared. Code: <html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function click_on()
{
window.open("URL HERE", "_blank");
}
</script>
</head>
<body onclick="click_on()">
</body>
</html>
I am no expert at this,and my knowledge is very limited,so excuse me if this is a simple situation.Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Roco Hi, I am very new to JavaScript. I am trying to understand what this does and I am hoping someone here can help. A user fills in some data for a search and results are displayed on the page but there is no option to save the results. I would like to be able to just dump them into a text file, but I have no way of changing this code.. so I'm thinking if I could find out specifically what this is doing then maybe some other tool or command can be used to get the results and save them into a file (maybe wget?? or something). Here is the code: <script type="text/javascript">//<![CDATA[ $(document).ready(function() {$.get('\x2fTraceMessage.mvc\x2fAsyncMessageList\x2f736251', { s:'google\x40google.com', r:'yahoo.com', d:'1\x2f10\x2f2012 2\x3a18\x3a37 AM', e:'1\x2f16\x2f2012 2\x3a18\x3a37 PM', i:'', a:'-5' }, function(data) { $('#message_trace_list').html(data); }); }); //]]></script> Thanks in advance for any help! Hey, so I've been trying (in vain) to get my head around how this little script is doing what it's doing. Code: var msg = "From Person (*Account): .tp"
var reg = /^.*\(\*(\w*)\)(\swhispers)?\s*:\s\.(.*)$/gi;
if (msg.match(reg))
{
var sender = msg.replace(reg, "$1");
var command = msg.replace(reg, "$3");
Say(sender+" told me to "+command);
Delay(500);
}
So there is this message that comes in, and somehow this script is able to just take the characters after the . as well as getting the word between (* and ) . And all this from just one line of code?? If you've got some free time and are able to help me understand what the "var reg" line is doing I'd be so thankful. Feel free to assume I'm new at Javascript, I've done a little C and VB, but never java. Thanks in advance I am taking a class to learn javascript, and this book has so many typo's, just typing in the code they suggest, I can never get this to work. I am NOT a programmer...but a 50 something year old person, wanting to learn more about web design. I applaud those who actually understand javascript. I think it is amazing how it can do so many things to a web page. If you can help, I certainly would appreciate it.

1. suppose to add a script element that points to the list.js file
2. Under this element insert another script element that contains the function amountTotal(). The purpose of this is to return the sum of all of the values in the amount array. There are no parameters for this fuction. Then add the following commands to the function: Declare a variable named total, setting its initial value to 0. Create a for loop that loops through all of the values in the amount array. At each iteration of the loop add the current value of the array item to the value of the total variable. Then after the for loop is completed, return the value of the total variable.
3. locate the div element with the id "data_list" Within the div element add a script element that contains the following commands: a. write the following code to the document: <table border='1' rules='rows' cellspacing='1'> <tr> <th>Date</th><th>Amount</th><th>First Name</th><th>Last Name<.th><th>Address</th> </tr> B. Create a for loop in which the counter variable starts at 0 and while the counter is less than the length of the amount array increase the counter in increments of 1. C. Every other row in the data list is to be displayed with a yellow background; to do this, within the for loop insert an IF condition that tests whether the counter variable is divisible evenly by 2 using the % modulus operator. If the counter variable is divisible by 2 write the following HTML tag: <tr> Otherwise write the tag, <tr class='yellowrow'> D. next within the loop write the following html code to the document:
<td>date</td>
<td class='amt'>amount</td>
<td>firstName</td>
<td>lastName</td>
where date, amount, firstName and lastName are the values of the date, amuont, firstName, lastName arrays fro the index indicated by the current value of thefor loop's counter variable.
E. Finally within the for loop, write the html code
<td>street<br/>
city, state zip
</td>
</tr>
where street, city, state and zip are the values of the street, city state and zip arrays for the current index value.
4. go to the div element with the id "totals" insert a script element that writes the following html code to the document.
<table border='1' cellspacing='1'>
<tr>
<th id='sumTitle' colspan='2'>
summary
</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<th>Contributors</th>
<td>contributions</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<th>Amount</th>
<td>$total</td>
</tr>
</table>
where contributions is the length of the amount array and total is the value returned by the amountTotal() function you created earlier. Supposedly when complete, a list of 35 contributions totalling $5175 is displayed on the table and that alternate rows of the contributor list are displayed with a yellow background. If this makes any sense to someone who likes a challenge...I would appreciate hearing from you. I feel like I am taking an exam of a foreign language and I missed all the classes prior to the exam. We are getting NO (ZERO) help from teachers. I'm totally new when it comes to JavaScript and I'm trying to learn new things. Here I found the codes I tried it and it works but I would like to have comments for the code to understand how they have proceeded. can someone help me and explain these codes with comments? I really appreciate it. Code:
var config = {
"tags": "vfx+compositing",
"user": "andreasl",
"scriptTagTarget": "scriptTagDiv",
"deliciousTarget": "deliciousLinks",
"callbackFunction": "fetchDelicious"
};
window.onload = function() {
var url = 'http://feeds.delicious.com/v2/json/' + config.user + '/' + config.tags + '?callback=' + config.callbackFunction;
var scriptDiv = document.getElementById(config.scriptTagTarget);
addScriptTag(url, scriptDiv);
};
function addScriptTag(url, scriptDiv) {
if (scriptDiv.hasChildNodes())
{
scriptDiv.removeChild(scriptDiv.firstChild)
};
var scriptElement = document.createElement('script');
scriptElement.setAttribute('src', url);
scriptDiv.appendChild(scriptElement);
}
function fetchDelicious(json) {
var html = "";
for (var i = 0; i < json.length; i++) {
var uri = json[i].u;
var description = json[i].d;
var tags = json[i].t; //array
var time = json[i].dt;
//var n = json[i].n; //new?
var author = json[i].a;
var bHtml = "<li><a href=\":u\">:d</a>:t</li>".replace(":u", uri).replace(":d", description);
var tagHtml = "";
for(var n = 0; n < tags.length; n++) {
tagHtml += "<li><a href=\"http://delicious.com/:u\">:d</a></li>".replace(":u", [author,tags[n]].join("/")).replace(":d", tags[n]);
}
tagHtml = "<ul>" + tagHtml + "</ul>";
html += bHtml.replace(":t", tagHtml);
}
html = "<ul>" + html + "</ul>";
document.getElementById(config.deliciousTarget).innerHTML = html;
}
I'm sorry if this is asking too much I just find it much easier to learn interacting directly with experience coders but I'm tryign to understand functions better and wanna make sure I got it right. the function syntax looks like this right Code: function functionname()
{
function code
}
the perameters kinda confuses me, inside them can go variables right? but where do you declare those variables? before the function or in the function? is it like this? Code: function functionname(x)
{
var x="Hello"
}
if thats right do you write the code you want to execute below the variables? like under var x I wanna make a alert I would write alert("x") I sometimes see that some people use this expression: event = event || window.event Why people need to do this? What does it mean? Hi all, I've been working with the book "DOM Scripting: Web Design with JavaScript and the Document Object Model, Second Edition" It's available on the Safari ebooks library collection, which I get a subscription to through my school. It seems like a really good book, but in chapter 7 they get to this function and don't really explain it much: Code: function addLoadEvent(func) {
var oldonload = window.onload;
if (typeof window.onload != 'function') {
window.onload = func;
} else {
window.onload = function() {
oldonload();
func();
}
}
}
I understand the first part, where it stores window.onload into the variable oldonload, and then checks to see if window.onload is already handling a function. But I don't understand why it calls the variable oldonload(which then turns into a function with the (); right?) and then the func parameter somehow doesn't get overwritten. If anyone could explain this or point me in the direction of an online article or instructional book that might explain it better, I would really appreciate it. <%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="Default3.aspx.cs" Inherits="Default3" %> <!DOCTYPE html> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head id="Head1" runat="server"> <title></title> <script src="https://code.oovoo.com/webrtc/oovoosdk-0.0.7.min.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript"> function TestId() { WebService1.GetAppId(onSuccess, onFailure); } //situation 1 function onSuccess(result) { alert(result); } //situation 2 //function onSuccess(result) { // return result; //} function onFailure(result) { alert("Error Invoking the Web Service..."); } </script> </head> <body> <form id="form1" runat="server"> <asp:ScriptManager runat="server" ID="scriptManager"> <Services> <asp:ServiceReference Path="~/WebService1.asmx" /> </Services> </asp:ScriptManager> <div> <video id="localVideo" style="width: 300px; height: auto;" autoplay muted></video> </div> </form> <script type="text/javascript"> TestId(); // This line is working in situation 1 (onSuccess method situation 1) //BUT, WHEN I COMMENT METHOD IN SITUATON 1 AND UNCOMMENT SITUATION2 THEN LINE BELOW IS NOT WORKING var a = TestId(); //THIS LINE IS NOT WORKING WHEN SITUATION2 IS ACTIVE </script> </body> </html> Hi, I am using the following code to generate a temporary window: In the js: Code: var win=null;
function NewWindow(mypage,myname,scroll){
settings='width=850,height=500,top=200,left=50,scrollbars=yes,location=yes,directories=no,status=no,menubar=no,toolbar=no,resizable=yes';
win=window.open(mypage,myname,settings);
if(win.focus){win.focus();}}
function hidestatus(){
window.status=''
return true
}
And in the HTML: Code: <a href=\"http://www.support-focus.com/check.php?key=$sup_cd2\" onclick=\"NewWindow(this.href,'','yes','default'); return false\" onfocus=\"this.blur()\" > This code works , but I don't understand the mis-match or parameters This is passing four param: onclick=\"NewWindow(this.href,'','yes','default'); But this is only receiving three: NewWindow(mypage,myname,scroll) Is the last one (default) not counted for some reason ? The was able to move the scroll param (yes) out With this: onclick=\"NewWindow(this.href,'','default'); and NewWindow(mypage,myname) Which now leaves just two params and a default. Does anyone know why this appears to be unbalanced and also what the myname param does? ( do I need it ? can I get rid of the '' and the myname ? ) Thanks Hi, I inherited an html demo (used to show customers our product w/o being connected to a server). Was going through the Html files to update the dates and fields and it seems that on some html files, when I change a date <td>08/11/2008 </td> to <td>08/11/2011</td>, save and refesh, I start getting a bunch of JS errors when I try and log back into the demo. I'm not changing anything in the JS files, so I don't understand why the errors are occuring. I have a bunch of html files to change, and now, no matter which file I change (the dates, sample names, etc), I lose functionality on that particular page. I'm beyond frustrated with this - I've modified similar demos at other companies and never had a problem. Appreciate the help and assistance! Another thing that has been driving me crazy is that css positioning is handled differently by different browsers. JS is not my area, but I can do a lot with CSS, and I do, but cross browser compatibility is killing me. I can use an IF IE statement and only IE runs that segment of code, but I haven't been able to figure out out how to make ONLY firefox or ONLY opera or safari enact an encapsulated segment of code. The same type of IF statement doesn't work for them. Is there a single method using JS that works for all browsers? Thre is probably a very simple answer and I am just missing it somehow. Ive searched on this board but cant find out why this doesn't work. Code: <script type="text/javascript">
function showSelected(val)
if (val == "Nil")
{
document.getElementById('JustText').innerHTML='hi'
}
else
{
document.getElementById('selectedResult').innerHTML="<a href='mailto:" + val + "'>" + val + "</a><p>"
}
</script>
What can I do to find out what the errors in the error console mean?
This is a little hard to explain so I'm posting an example. Code: //NESTED FUNCTION I'M USING TO DEMONSTRATE MY QUESTION
function foo(a) {
this.x = 5;
//USED TO SET THE VALUE OF X
if( a == 0 )
return function(z) {
return x = z;
}
//USED TO RETRIEVE THE VALUE OF X
else if( a == 1 )
return function() {
return x;
}
}
//MAKES setX THE SETTER FUNCTION
var setX = foo(0);
//MAKES getX THE GETTER FUNCTION
var getX = foo(1);
print( "setX(25), not an instance: " + setX( 25 ) );
print( "getX(), not an instance: " + getX() );
print( "" );
//CREATES AN OBJECT INSTANCE USING FOO AS CONSTRUCTOR
var q = new foo();
print( "value of x in object instance: " + q.x );
print( "" );
print( "setX(25), not an instance: " + setX( 25 ) );
print( "getX(), not an instance: " + getX() );
This code will output: Code: setX(25), not an instance: 25 getX(), not an instance: 25 value of x in object instance: 5 setX(25), not an instance: 25 getX(), not an instance: 25 Observations: It seems like this.x actually has two meanings. 1)x becomes a member of the "Function" object foo(). 2)x becomes a part of the constructor for prototype class foo. But why then does x revert back to the original value of 5 when I use foo as a constructor? Does javascript automatically save the original value on creation for a reason? What is going on behind the scenes to make this happen? Is this behavior part of an ontological model that makes sense? Similarly, if I change "this.x" to "var x" I can access the value of x but I can't change it. Not that that I should be able to, the syntax "var x" doesn't make x a member of foo anyway. But I'm still having trouble classifying the relationship "var x" has to the function. Anyways this is more of a tangent. My main question is above but if anyone has something to say about this, I'd be interested to hear it. It seems like all these behaviors have rules to them, but there is no conceptual model to think through that guide these behaviors. Or maybe I'm just ignorant. Enlighten me. I need a script that will redirect to a specific page is the browser is safari version 4. if the browser is NOT safari 4 I want the browser to stay on the current page.
Greetings, I am currently using the websites tutorial about browser detection using the navigator. http://www.javascriptkit.com/javatutors/navigator.shtml I am however finding myself unable to detect a pattern in order to learn from. My aim is to use Browser detection to have a CSS file for each browser type, such as Firefox, IE, Opera, Safari and then an overall CSS file if none of the above, to fix numerous flaws. For IE and Firefox using the site's code is all well and good and while I haven't tested it yet I'm wondering how to set up the coding so that it can detect a safari browser. There are lots of slashes and d's and brackets and I do find myself unable to understand their purpose. So if someone can explain how I could do it for Safari I would be very appreciative. |
