Any help is appreciated, Thanks. so I am creating a silly word ;irate word interpreter page, and I need some logic behind how to add text to a textarea each time I click on a button. Each time the user clicks on the button, the value is inserted into the text area. You should be able to click on multiple buttons to add to the last text that appears. Then I have a delete translation button when I want to clear the textarea field. A good example would be if the user clicks on the button with the value "sir", than "matey" will appear in the textarea. Now, if the user clicks on the button with the value "your", then "yer" will come up after matey. It's like creating a sentence on your own, and then deleting it when your done.

I have a form with multiple inputs and I want to be able to save them onchange, using the html5 function localStorage. Does anybody have an idea how I could go about doing this? It seems simple but I'm not very familiar with coding. Any help is appreciated! Hello there, I want to build a form which invokes an ajax-function and therefore the page shouldn't reload. The problem is I don't want to avoid the autocompletion of the browser. But to save the input i have to submit the form regularly, which means 'onSubmit="return false;"' doesn't work. Is there any possibility or is this technique just impossible? Thx for reading and thinking about it! This is the current code, which works fine, but the browser doesn't save the (non-)submitted input. (The submit will be invoked by the "getSuggests()"-function.)

I am having a little trouble with the following code, I am unsure where the problem is I will start from the beginning. Let me know if this is correct. 1. asked to declare a variable named timeStr=to the value returned from the showDateTime() function. 2.declare a variable named mapNum equal to the value returned from the getMap() function. Code: <title>SkyWeb: The Planisphere</title> <link href="skyweb.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" /> <script type="text/javascript" src="datetime.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript"> function timestr(){ /* timestr is a text string containing the current date and time mapNum is the number of the map to display in the planisphere */ var timeStr=showDateTime(); var mapNum=getMap(); } </script> </head> It asks me to scroll down to the div element with the id value "maps" and replace the line <img id="sky" src="sky0.jpg" alt=""/> with a script element that writes the following code<img id='sky' src='skymapNum.jpg' alt='' /> where mapNum is the value of the mapNum variable. replace the date/time value "Jan 1 2007, 12:00 am" with a script element that writes the value of the timeStr variable to the web page. Code: <div id="maps"> <img id="sky" src="sky0.jpg" alt="" /> <img id="mask" src="mask.gif" alt="" /> <div id="datetime"> January 1, 2007, 12:00 am </div> </div> I have tried it several ways but have been unable to get this through my think head, I am new to JS the textbook isnt very explanitory as you guys have been. Thanks for your time. Hi everyone, hope you can help. I've got a JS events calendar on my website, and on one of the entries I want the ticket link not to appear until a certain time & date (9:30am, Fri 29 Apr 2011, UTC+1). I've written the code for this to work: Code: var releasetime = 1304065800000 var currentdate = new Date() var currenttime = currentdate.getTime() if (currenttime >= releasetime){ document.write("<a href=\"ticket link\" rel="nofollow" target=\"_blank\">BUY TICKETS</a>") } And that's all good and working fine. EXCEPT, because it's taking the time & date from the local machine, all the user has to do is change the date on his PC to be able to see the ticket link. Is there any way to get the *actual* date & time? Thanks Cliff Hi All, I wonder if you can help me with some time and date formatting in JS. I already use a neat date formatting JS script which is useful when a PERL script returns a date field of 'DATE' by converting it from yyyy-mm-dd to dd month(in text) yyyy: <script type = "text/javascript"> var months = ["January","February","March","April","May","June","July","August","September","October","November"," December"]; var myString = "[[date]]"; var mySplitResult = myString.split("-"); var mm = parseInt(mySplitResult[1],10)-1; // note that months are 0-11 document.write(mySplitResult[2] + " " + months[mm] + " " + mySplitResult[0] ); </script> I have, however, run across a little problem where I have results coming through with date AND time, e.g. 18:12 2010-07-14 What I need is something that will reorder the above to: 14 July 2010 at 18:12 Can someone help please! Regards, Neil Hi All, I've done a few searches on it, but I can't seem to find the correct order for my date / time script. I have a field that returns the date/time in the following format: Y-m-d H:i:s (i.e. yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss) What I want to do is rearrange this so that it says: 'dd' 'month-name' 'yyyy' at 'time' Anyone have any ideas? Thanks, Neil Hello all. I have created a 2 frame site where I want the top frame (header) to redirect the other frame (main) to a different page depending on the date, time, and second. For example, on 12 FEB at 07:00:00, I would like the header frame to redirect the main frames page to EmmasBday.html; in which I would be alerted of my little sisters Birthday. This is for personal use and isn't going to be hosted online so I will just use JavaScript, it's basically a simple system to remind me of crucial events at certain times and dates so I don't forget them. The same events will apply every year, so there is no need to programme in specific years although having the option could prove useful. I am aware of other alternatives to achieve this, but would very much like to work with JavaScript; as I can expand it. As I state, this is for personal use and therefore won't be hosting it; I will use JavaScript throughout and cannot use anything else like PHP, Perl, etc. I am aware JavaScript takes the time & date from the computer hosting it (unlike PHP), which is fine. So, for example; at 14:30:00 I will be informed to get dinner; and at 15:00:45 I'll be informed to study. The knowledge you guys have presented so far is phenomenal, and I couldn't think of anybody better to ask for assistance. Anyway, I hope you can resolve my problem and I'm looking forward to a response! Thanks for your concern, you brain Gods you! AHa. Hello. I just want to check whether it is possible (and if so whether there is one available) to have a script that displays MY current time and date to visitors to my website. My time is Western European Time or Greenwich Mean Time. I would like visitors from eg Japan to see my local time and not their own. I think some date scripts I have seen use the user's local PC clock, but I am not sure? Thanks for any feedback and help! I have the following code on my site. I use this in the header of mysite Code: <script type="text/javascript"> var weekdaystxt=["Sun", "Mon", "Tues", "Wed", "Thurs", "Fri", "Sat"] var montharray=("January","February","March","April","May","June","July","August","September","October","November","December") function showLocalgetthedate(){ var mydate=new Date() var year=mydate.getYear() if (year < 1000) year+=1900 var day=mydate.getDay() var month=mydate.getMonth() var daym=mydate.getDate() if (daym<10) daym="0"+daym function showLocalTime(container, servermode, offsetMinutes, displayversion){ if (!document.getElementById || !document.getElementById(container)) return this.container=document.getElementById(container) this.displayversion=displayversion var servertimestring=(servermode=="server-php")? '<? print date("F d, Y H:i:s", time())?>' : (servermode=="server-ssi")? '<!--#config timefmt="%B %d, %Y %H:%M:%S"--><!--#echo var="DATE_LOCAL" -->' : '<%= Now() %>' this.localtime=this.serverdate=new Date(servertimestring) this.localtime.setTime(this.serverdate.getTime()+offsetMinutes*60*1000) //add user offset to server time this.updateTime() this.updateContainer() } showLocalTime.prototype.updateTime=function(){ var thisobj=this this.localtime.setSeconds(this.localtime.getSeconds()+1) setTimeout(function(){thisobj.updateTime()}, 1000) //update time every second } showLocalTime.prototype.updateContainer=function(){ var thisobj=this if (this.displayversion=="long") this.container.innerHTML=this.localtime.toLocaleString() else{ var hour=this.localtime.getHours() var minutes=this.localtime.getMinutes() var seconds=this.localtime.getSeconds() var ampm=(hour>=12)? "PM" : "AM" var dayofweek=weekdaystxt[this.localtime.getDay()] this.container.innerHTML=formatField(hour, 1)+":"+formatField(minutes)+":"+formatField(seconds)+" "+ampm+ " "+montharray(month)+" ("+dayofweek+")" } setTimeout(function(){thisobj.updateContainer()}, 1000) //update container every second } function formatField(num, isHour){ </script> I use this to display the information. Code: <script type="text/javascript"> new showLocalTime("timecontainer", "server-php", 0, "short") new showLocalTime("timecontainer2", "server-php", +300, "short") new showLocalTime("timecontainer3", "server-php", +360, "short") new showLocalTime("timecontainer4", "server-php", +600, "short") </script> This gives me 4 clocks which i set at different time zones Can someone assist me in showing me a way to accelerate the time for this clock. I would like the minutes to be only 5 seconds long versus the normal 60 seconds per minute. I fly a flight sim and the in game world clock is accelerated at this pace and my squad would like to be able to see the time it would currently be in the game so we can avoid launching the game at certain in game times. If this can't be done, does anyone know of a separate java script that can accomplish this? Thank you in advance, any and all help would be greatly appreciated. |
