JavaScript - Create Table From Arrays In External .js File
Hey I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction here. I'm supposed to add a <script> in the mainContent div of puppies.htm to generate the opening table tags followed by a header row with cells for Picture, Description, and Date Taken. Obviously these are supposed to be taken from the arrays in puppies.js, but how do i organize those arrays into a table. Any input would be much appreciated. thanks.
puppies.js Code: var puppyPics = new Array(); var pictureDesc = new Array(); var pictureDate = new Array(); puppyPics[0] = "AllTheKids.jpg"; puppyPics[1] = "susie.jpg"; puppyPics[2] = "princess.jpg"; puppyPics[3] = "wicketAndCarlos.jpg"; puppyPics[4] = "wicketAndGeorge.jpg"; pictureDesc[0] = "New puppies"; pictureDesc[1] = "Susie"; pictureDesc[2] = "This is Princess"; pictureDesc[3] = "Wicket is very social"; pictureDesc[4] = "Wicket and George"; pictureDate[0] = "January 10, 2011"; pictureDate[1] = "January 10, 2011"; pictureDate[2] = "January 10, 2011"; pictureDate[3] = "January 15, 2011"; pictureDate[4] = "January 15, 2011"; puppies.htm Code: <div id="mainContent"> <h1> My Puppies</h1> <p>I made this page to show off my wonderful puppies! I hope you enjoy their pictures.</p> <script <!-- end #mainContent --></div> Similar TutorialsHey, my names xzanth, I'm new here and I'm trying to get a javascript game server to work but have hit two slight snags. 1. I was wondering if there is a command that from within a .js file it can run an external, different .js file. 2. This is a rather lengthy one but I have an array, and I would like a section of code to be run whenever another value is added to this array. Much like Code: if (useradded) { command(user); } Thanks for the help, Xzanth I am complete newbie to this topic and i want to know how to add and external javascript file for blogger. I have heard that it decreases the load time of a page. Again please explain clearly as iam a newbie!! Any help would be appreciated!! Thanks In Advance!! Does anyone know of a way I can create an array using words on new lines, without quotes, or a way I can make all of the lines separately in quotes and separated by commas? (I have 118,628 words, so I can't do it by hand.) Any help is appreciated. Thanks to anyone who answers.
Hi everyone, i am stuck at a problem. i am trying to craete a redimmensionable array using javascript, is there a way to do this, i know that this can be done in vbscript using redim and preserve commands. If not then is it possible to variables between javascript and vbscript, or call vbscript function using javascript. a sample code will be much aprreciated thanks for your time! J I was looking at that old Strawberry Fields problem and I thought I'd see about solving it in JavaScript. What I want is an array of chars so that I can set individual elements in the array of arrays. Strings are apparently immutable and can't directly be changed? Here's my code. Code: var field = new Array(); var string0 = "..@@@@@..............." var string1 = "..@@@@@@........@@@..." var string2 = ".....@@@@@......@@@..." var string3 = ".......@@@@@@@@@@@@..." var string4 = ".........@@@@@........" var string5 = ".........@@@@@........" for (var i = 0; i < 6; i++) { field[i] = new Array(); field[i] = eval("string" + i + ".slice('')"); } document.write("field's type is " + typeof field + "<br>"); // object? but it should be explicit array document.write(typeof field[1]) // string? it should explicitly be an array, then it was filled with array elements document.write(typeof field[1][2]); // string - ok, I understand this bit document.write(field[1].length); document.write("<br>"); for (var i = 0; i < field.length; i++) { field[i] = new Array(); for (var k = 0; k < eval("string" + i + ".length"); k++) { field[i][k] = eval("string" + i + ".charAt(" + k + ")"); } document.write("<br>"); } document.write("field's type is " + typeof field + "<br>"); // seriously, an object? document.write(typeof field[1]) // why is this an object instead of an array? document.write(typeof field[1][2]); // string, yeah, I understand this as well document.write(field[1].length); document.write("<br>"); Also, it looks like I can't overwrite a 1-length string that's in the array of arrays. For instance: Code: newField = field; //for loops newField[i][k] = 0; // does nothing, newField's elements remain the same. Hi, I'm new to JavaScript and I'm having a bit of trouble understanding something that seems relatively simple. When I make changes to CSS in JavaScript using '.style' I'm changing the attribute values of inline CSS. Can I use JavaScript to change the attribute values of rules in an external CSS file? I have no CSS in my html and would like to know if I can grab the values of attributes in an external CSS file using JavaScript. Thank you. Hey all, I'm fairly new to JavaScript. I learned PHP and now I'm creating a user registration and login system for an application I'm making and I decided I wanted to give JS a try. I'm trying to make a form validation function that will be called when I press the submit button on the form but I want to use an external js file to store all my custom functions. I have the OnClick event in the button with the call to my function inside of that. But where and how on the page to I reference my external file so that the button can call the function? Thanks guys! Hello Guys, I have a question here.. I have a scroller on my pages that basically reads a text file and displays.. The problem that I am having is it doesn't update until I reload the page(even though the .txt file updates about every 3 minutes).. I would like it to update when the file has been changed.. Here is my page. PHP Code: <link rel="stylesheet" href="../../css/li-scroller.css" type="text/css"> <script src="../../js/jquery.li-scroller.1.0.js" type="text/javascript"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="../../jquery-1.6.1.min.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript"> $(function(){ $("ul#ticker01").liScroll(); }); </script> <?php $file = file_get_contents ('playingnow.txt'); ?> <div class="scrollpos"> <ul id="ticker01"> <li><a href="#"><?php Echo $file;?></a></li> <!-- eccetera --> </ul> </div> What can I add to make it go out and reload just the div not the entire page? Please advise.. relatively new coder here definitely new to js and I can't figure out how to get this script linked into an external file every time I try nothing shows up. Code: <html> <head> <script language="JavaScript1.1"> <!-- var slideimages=new Array() var slidelinks=new Array() function slideshowimages(){ for (i=0;i<slideshowimages.arguments.length;i++){ slideimages[i]=new Image() slideimages[i].src=slideshowimages.arguments[i] } } function slideshowlinks(){ for (i=0;i<slideshowlinks.arguments.length;i++) slidelinks[i]=slideshowlinks.arguments[i] } function gotoshow(){ if (!window.winslide||winslide.closed) winslide=window.open(slidelinks[whichlink]) else winslide.location=slidelinks[whichlink] winslide.focus() } //--> </script> <title></title> </head> <body> <a href="javascript:gotoshow()"><img src="img1.jpg" name="slide" border=0 width=250 height=250></a> <script> <!-- //configure the paths of the images, plus corresponding target links slideshowimages("img1.jpg","img2.jpg","img3.jpg","img4.jpg","img5.jpg") slideshowlinks("#","#","#","#","#") //configure the speed of the slideshow, in miliseconds var slideshowspeed=3000 var whichlink=0 var whichimage=0 function slideit(){ if (!document.images) return document.images.slide.src=slideimages[whichimage].src whichlink=whichimage if (whichimage<slideimages.length-1) whichimage++ else whichimage=0 setTimeout("slideit()",slideshowspeed) } slideit() //--> </script> </body> </html> obviously get rid of html tags and <script></script> tags save it as file.js and then <script type="text/javascript" src="file.js"> </script> do i need to break this up into 2 files or something I can't get it to work Code: <!-- Add-in device.js files are placed here --> <div id="deviceScript"></div> What I have been doing is clearing this out when I select a new (add-in) device and append a script tag with its .src file. I have some vague idea that unhooking an external js file might remove its code from memory. If not is there a way to do so? Functions in different script files have the same name - for example, I use start() to set up each device. It seems that the latest device start() overwrites the one in memory - but I am not sure if overwrite means delete last one or whether there is some horrendous build up of dross going on. Any clarification appreciated. Hello everybody, I am currently working on displaying KML-values of ElementTags within my KML File. I already integrated the KML file as an overlay to my Google Map. But how am I able to parse the GGeoXml-object or how am I able to parse external ("http://www.myexample.org/polygons.kml" instead of just "polygons.kml") XML-files? At the moment my code for loading the geoxml file looks like this: Code: function initialize(kmlFile) { if (GBrowserIsCompatible()) { var map = new GMap2(document.getElementById("map_canvas")); map.setUIToDefault(); map.setCenter(new GLatLng(53.763325,-2.579041), 9); // ==== Create a KML Overlay ==== if(!(kmlFile==null)){ //check if it doesnt start with "http://" if(!(kmlFile.startsWith("http://"))){ kmlFile = "http://" + kmlFile; $('kmllink').value = kmlFile; } var kml = new GGeoXml(kmlFile); //add Overlay to the googlemaps window map.addOverlay(kml); //$('subject').value = "SUBJECT"; //$('content').value = "CONTENT"; kml.gotoDefaultViewport(map); // Store center and zoom as properties of the object kml var centerKML= kml.getDefaultCenter(); var zoomKML = map.getZoom(); map.panTo(centerKML); map.setZoom(zoomKML); } } } And for parsing local XML-files this code works already: Code: function loadXML() { if (window.XMLHttpRequest) { xhttp=new XMLHttpRequest(); } else // Internet Explorer 5/6 { xhttp=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP"); } xhttp.open("GET","test.kml",false); xhttp.send(""); //xmlDoc=xhttp.responseXML; xmlDoc = xhttp.responseXML; var placemark=xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("Placemark"); alert(placemark[0].getElementsByTagName("name")[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue); ajaxLoader("http://www.zki.dlr.de/mod/ext/fireModis/yesterday_en.kml","Placemark"); } My question: Is there any way to integrate parsing external xml files in any of these two functions? Best regards, TsEMaNN Hi I'm trying to call a external .js file that contains a function from a webpage, but haven't been able to discover how to reference the function. First, the function: Code: function biggestOfTwo(valueOne, valueTwo) { var big; if(valueOne > valueTwo) { big = valueOne; } else { big = valueTwo; } return big; } ... and the xhtml calling it... Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <title>An XHTML 1.0 Strict standard template</title> <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;charset=utf-8" /> <script src="compare.js" type="text/javascript" /> </head> <body> <script type = "text/javascript"> var dataInput1; var dataInput2; dataInput1 = prompt("Enter the first number to be compared"); dataInput2 = prompt("Enter the second number to be compared"); alert("The biggest value is " + biggestOfTwo(dataInput1, dataInput2)); </script> </body> </html> According to the book Beginning JavaScript 4th Edn, this should work - why isn't it? Jenny I'm trying to execute an php file (which is present on an other host) by javascript. I've got three files for this: The javascript that calls the main program (launch.htm): Quote: <html> <script type="text/javascript"> document.write(unescape("%3Cscript src='http://www.mysite.com/reservetest.js' type='text/javascript'%3E%3C/script%3E")); </script> </html> The main program: (reservetest.js) Quote: function goer() { var url = 'test.php'; var pars="x=4&y=3"; makeHttpRequest(url+"?"+pars, thanks); } function thanks(text) { document.write(text); //$("divname").innerHTML=text; } function $() { if (arguments.length == 1) return get$(arguments[0]); var elements = []; $c(arguments).each(function(el){ elements.push(get$(el)); }); return elements; function get$(el){ if (typeof el == 'string') el = document.getElementById(el); return el; } }; function makeHttpRequest(url, callback_function, return_xml) { var http_request, response, i; var activex_ids = [ 'MSXML2.XMLHTTP.3.0', 'MSXML2.XMLHTTP', 'Microsoft.XMLHTTP' ]; if (window.XMLHttpRequest) { // Mozilla, Safari, IE7+... http_request = new XMLHttpRequest(); if (http_request.overrideMimeType) { http_request.overrideMimeType('text/xml'); } } else if (window.ActiveXObject) { // IE6 and older for (i = 0; i < activex_ids.length; i++) { try { http_request = new ActiveXObject(activex_ids[i]); } catch (e) {} } } if (!http_request) { alert('Unfortunately your browser doesnt support this feature.'); return false; } http_request.onreadystatechange = function() { if (http_request.readyState !== 4) { // not ready yet return; } if (http_request.status !== 200) { // ready, but not OK alert('There was a problem with the request.(Code: ' + http_request.status + ')'); return; } if (return_xml) { response = http_request.responseXML; } else { response = http_request.responseText; } // invoke the callback callback_function(response); }; http_request.open('GET', url, true); http_request.send(null); } goer(); And finally the test file (test.php): Quote: <html><body>just a test</body></html> It works fine when I use all three files on the same host. However when I use launch.htm on an other host (which is the idea behind it) it gives me 'There was a problem with the request (code 0)'. When I change the url variable within reservetest.js to a relative/absolute path it gives me a 'access denied' on http_request.open line. Main idea is to show the user (who puts the code from launch.htm) on his/her website the contents of my test.php file (which retrieves mysql data). I think it's a security issue with the http_request.open line. Is there a way to work around this? Or am I missing something here? I don't want to use an iframe to retrieve information from my other host. Hi guys. I've made a html file with three lists to populate different pages of my site.

Maybe with javascript? thanks in advance I have an issue with my javascript files loading (i.e. checking the source code of the page after having loaded yields working links to my external files and the JQuery loading for sure after running some test), but calling a function from my javascript file works in no way shape or form. For example, one test I was running was: From my .js file Code: $("p").click( function() { $(this).hide(); } ) This will work on a standalone page when I test it (not loading from external .js file), but not in the page I need to get my scripts running on. I have this file: IPToned.js Code: // ==UserScript== // @name IPToned // @namespace http://users9.jabry.com/chatleague // @description IPTorrents Filter Enhancements // ==/UserScript== alert("hello world"); I drag and drop it into Firefox (Ubuntu) and it opens it as if it were a txt file. I want it to make the alert so I can get to coding. Any suggestions? Hi, I need some help with a bit of a challenge. I need to allow users to spesify a file stored on their hard drive, read the file and populate a table and eventually a database. I can probably upload the file using <input type='file'> but what then? How do I access the file after this, or is there a better way? Using XMLHTTP gives 'access denied.....' I can not use PHP as the site does not support PHP. For those who know the environment - it's a QuickBase application I need to upload to....... Thanks Nic Hey guys, I'm writing a script and I've encountered a problem.. I have a txt file with many words, each word in a different line. For example: the file words.txt contains: word1 word2 word3 word4 word5 I need to load the content of the file into a variable in my script. I prefer that all the words will be in the same variable with line breaks, but if you'll figure out a way to put it in an array, it's ok too. I really don't know how to do it, and I tried to google but didn't understand.. By the way, I don't want to change the txt file to js file, I need it to remain txt.. Can anybody help me with that? Thanks Alot, Ran Hello! How can you make a bookmarklet access an external file? (C:/testFile). The external file code is simply: Code: alert("hello"); I have tried the following code to call my external file: Code: javascript:(function(){document.body.appendChild(document.createElement('script')).src='file::/C:/testFile';})(); ...but it's not working. Please help. I am using Windows 7 and IE8. Any solutions appreciated. Thanks in advance. Jman Hi, i have a question, is JavaScript can read an external file? i have an ear file, can it read external file without the external file compile together in the ear file? can we do so? |
