I am just learning the basics and am trying to figure out timing with setTimeout()

Code:

<script type="text/javascript">
document.write("<p>" + Date() + "</p>");
setTimeout("document.write('Hello   There   World');", 2000);
setTimeout("document.write("<p>" + Date() + "</p>");", 2000);
</script>

the 1st document.write works and the 1st setTimeout() works, but then I add the fourth line and the page will not load.

Why does it not like my 4th line : "setTimeout("document.write("<p>" + Date() + "</p>");", 2000);"?

Hey everyone,

I wanted to write my own script for a fade-in animation, since the ones I have found have got too many options or need some framework, which makes them unnecessarily big. I wanted to learn too.

Unfortunately, the code didn't work as I wanted, and I commented some things so as to find out what's happening.

The only function called from outside is fadeIn with a string as argument (in the example, this string is: d1296668690535). This is the code:

Code:

var fadems = 500;	// Anim. duration in milliseconds
var fps = 20;		// Frames per second

function fadeIn(elemId){
	var frames = fadems/1000 * fps;
	var delay = 1000 / fps;
	var incrOp = 1 / frames;
	
	//document.getElementById(elemId).style.zoom = '1';
	
	setOp(elemId, 0);
	
	for(i=1; i<=frames; i++){
		debugOutLn("(fadeIn for) elemId = " + elemId);
		setTimeout("setOp(" + elemId + "," + incrOp*i + ")", delay*i);
	}
}

function setOp(elemId, val){
	debugOutLn("(setOp) elemId = " + elemId + "; val = " + val);
	// document.getElementById(elemId).style.opacity = val;
	// document.getElementById(elemId).style.filter = 'alpha(opacity = ' + val * 100 + ')';
}

Code:

function debugOutLn(str){
	document.getElementById("debug").innerHTML += str + "<br />";
}

And this is the text it outputs (on Opera 11.01):

Code:

(setOp) elemId = d1296668690535; val = 0
(fadeIn for) elemId = d1296668690535
(fadeIn for) elemId = d1296668690535
(fadeIn for) elemId = d1296668690535
(fadeIn for) elemId = d1296668690535
(fadeIn for) elemId = d1296668690535
(fadeIn for) elemId = d1296668690535
(fadeIn for) elemId = d1296668690535
(fadeIn for) elemId = d1296668690535
(fadeIn for) elemId = d1296668690535
(fadeIn for) elemId = d1296668690535
(setOp) elemId =  [object HTMLDivElement] ; val = 0.1
(setOp) elemId =  [object HTMLDivElement] ; val = 0.2
(setOp) elemId =  [object HTMLDivElement] ; val = 0.30000000000000004
(setOp) elemId =  [object HTMLDivElement] ; val = 0.4
(setOp) elemId =  [object HTMLDivElement] ; val = 0.5
(setOp) elemId =  [object HTMLDivElement] ; val = 0.6000000000000001
(setOp) elemId =  [object HTMLDivElement] ; val = 0.7
(setOp) elemId =  [object HTMLDivElement] ; val = 0.8
(setOp) elemId =  [object HTMLDivElement] ; val = 0.9
(setOp) elemId =  [object HTMLDivElement] ; val = 1

Why is an object reference assigned to what was previously a string?


Thanks for the help!

uncaught exception: Syntax error, unrecognized expression: Code:

:([rel*=qnt_Rc])

I have this code:
Code:

grpDiv = $$('div:([rel*=' + txt_val + '])');

Which when operaterated on, we have: Code:

 grpDiv = $$('div:([rel*=qnt_Rc])

This error:
uncaught exception: Syntax error, unrecognized expression: Code:

:([rel*=qnt_Rc])

Is new. The code in question has been around for about a year and no issues with prototype 1.6.1. Yet we upgraded to 1.7, and this error started showing.

any ideas what this could be and how to fix it?

thanks

hi guys,

I'm having a bit of trouble with javascript...
I'm searching for a string that starts with another string

code:
for (x in products ){
s = products[x].id.toString(10);
v = "/\b";
v += idValue.toString(10);
v += "/g";
alert(v);
found = s.match(v);
alert(found);
}

the variables are integers but since i'm searching for the beginning only i turned them into strings...

the problem occurs when I add the \b it turns out gibberish..

any help will be gladly appreciated.

p.s. if there is a faster way to do it without turning the variables to string also would be great to know.

I have a .c file with many function calls like, say, "ABC ( x, y, z);"
My concern is to extract just the function name ABC. My approach is to read the file using streamreader.ReadToEnd(), and find the function name using regular expression \b\w+(\([a-z]*[0-9]*\)\b\w).

the function call may be of the form...
ABC ( xab, ybc,
zbc, hgs );"

i.e. the syntax is spread thru multiple lines. in the end i just want the function name ABC.

please help me with the regular expression or if there is any other approach.

Thank U

Say I had a bunch of elements with id names "id1", "id2". "id3" etc. Then say I had a function that adds a click handler such that when you click these elements it gets the id name with this.attributes[1].nodeValue;. Then say I had a bunch of arrays with the same names as the ids var id1 = ["data", false, 45]; var id2 = ["otherdata", true, 15]; var id3 = ["otherotherdata", null, 65];. How would I set a variable "currentid" to the array with the corresponding name as the id name? I guess the underlying question is, how would I convert a string to a variable name?

Hello.

I need help PLEASE !

I need to convert a string

Quote:
lalaw|lalaw1|lalaw2|lalaw3
in to Array

The values I have in variable "tables"

I want to create variable list which takes values from "tables"

Than I want to split this, and put each value in to new array:

I've started with:

Code:

var list = "tables"; 
var listArray = list.split("|");

for(i=0; i < listArray.length;i++)

{

//? how to put now values in to array?

}

Best Regards
Leos

Hi all,

can anyone tell me why the connection string for the jscript doesn't work but vbscript does? I'm using IE7 only.

The error I receive is:

Message: [DBNETLIB][ConnectionOpen (Connect()).]SQL Server does not exist or access denied.
Line: 26 (opening the javascript connection)

I can only presume it's the syntax of the connection string. Any ideas how to alter the string to get it connecting?

Thanks in advance,

When I used toFixed() method on a number, I thought that this method round a number to a specified approximation, but I got a surprising result, the number became string!
15.23689 .toFixed ( 2 ) ==> "15.24"
So does it convert the number into string?

I have the following code which attaches a function to events in x number of comboboxes (x will probably always = 4, but I do not want to hard-code this). I wish to pass the value of i to the function being attached as well as the value of tempData. In other words, I want the parameters in function to be the value, not a reference variable.

In the current example, I am using the hard-coded variable ci. This I want to be replaced by a literal created when the event handler is attached (the value of the loop variable i). Also, notice that I get the filter value in the event handler (assigned to the variable ct). I would like to replace this code with the value of tempData which would also be determined when the evenet is attached (it is the same value in this case, but it keeps the onChange event from having to do this each time it runs).



Code:

    var props = {
           	col_0: "select",
           	col_1: "select",
           	col_2: "select",
          	col_3: "select",
          	btn_reset:true,
           	display_all_text: "-Show All-",
			on_filters_loaded: function(o){
				//reset all filters
            	var slcIndexes = o.GetFiltersByType(o.fltTypeSlc, true); //o.fltTypeSlc = 'select'

            	for(var i=0; i<slcIndexes.length; i++){
            	    //this public method returns a filter DOM element by column index
            	    var slcElm = o.GetFilterElement(slcIndexes[i]);

					//tempData = slcElm.options[slcElm.selectedIndex].text;
					//window.alert(tempData + " " + slcElm);
            	    tf_AddEvent(slcElm, 'change', onchangeFn=function(){
            	    	//ci is the column index for the column to filter on.  ct is the new text from the combobox to filter on
						var ci;
						
						ci = 2;
						var ct = tf_outputTable.GetFilterValue(ci);

						tf_outputTable.ClearFilters();
			   			//window.alert("ci= " + ci + " ct= " + ct);
			   			tf_outputTable.SetFilterValue(ci, ct);
						tf_outputTable.Filter();
					}); //end tf_AddEvent
            	}
    		}
 	 }

   setFilterGrid("outputTable",props);

Hello,

I have the following code:

A = {
"value" : "a",
};
B = A ;
B.value = "b";
alert (A.value); // => b

I expected A.value to be "a".
Can someone explain what I'm thinking wrong?
And: how can I change values of a new object, without changing the parent-object ?
tnx

Hi..
I am facing identifier starts immediately after numeric literal error in firefox

onclick="document.location.href='<%= themeDisplay.getPathMain() %>/portal/ext/asite/assignOrg'"/>

can any 1 solve this??

I have strings's that are causing problems when being sent to a PHP script via JavaScript. (not all of it is getting sent)

i.e.

This is someone's line of text & it's rather long.

I wish to convert the whole string to some other format say like the spaces to %20 and and the & to &amp; I think, and so on...

Then once the PHP script $_GET's the string it converts it back to the original.

PLEASE NOTE: I wish to use JavaScript, not JQuery.
