Ie8: [object] Or [object Window] - Typecast Missing?	View Content

Hello together!

I generate html code with jsp. In that jsp there a several framesets and frames. And yes i know, frames are not really up to date but it's an old program and i have to deal with it now. Anyway, in the top frameset i have an onload attribute like onload="load()".

In the function load i want to access the Element.prototype object. But unfortunately typeof Element gives me "undefined". So i looked a little deeper and found that window.toString() gives me "[object]" and not as expected "[object window]" so somehow my window doesn't know that its construcor is Window. window.construcor is "undefined" as well. And i don't have access to the Element object. I really don't know where the error could be. When the page is loaded and i access the same window over the console, then everything is right. But in my function a can't get access to the objects i need.

I also don't know what part of the code could be useful to post here, but maybe someone had a similar problem before? i should say that this problem only occurs in IE8. In IE9 it works perfectly.

Has anyone any idea??

Window Object

In my current javascript code, the window object is being used. But my issue is that if you are slightly zoomed in or out it is not placed correctly. So is there any way to make it take into account the browser zoom level?

Code:

windowHeight=$(window).height(),windowWidth=$(window).width(),

Code:

projectedTop=scrollPos['scrollTop']+((windowHeight/2)-(correctSizes['containerHeight']/2))

Hi, every time I try and alert:

[ { number:0, secondnumber:0 }, { number:2, secondnumber:1 }, { number:1, secondnumber:2 } ]

Why is this and what can I do to make the record be shown as it is above in an alert?

Thanks.

Executing Object Methods Is Killing Object Properties

Similar Tutorials

I created a method for displaying an object's properties:

Code:

renderfunction 	= false;

function showProperty (object, property)
{
	document.write  ('<td class="type">' + (typeof object[property])  + '</td>' 
					+ '<td class="name">' + property + '</td>');
	
	document.writeln('<td class="value">' + 
						(
								(typeof object[property] != 'function')
								? object[property]
								:(
										(property != 'showProperties')
										? (
											renderfunction
											? object[property]()
											: ('<span class="self">NOT RENDERED</span>')
											)
										: ('<span class="self">THIS</span>')
								 )
						) 
					+ '</td>');

	
	document.writeln('<td class="hasOwnProperty" >'  
							+ (
									object.hasOwnProperty(property)
									? "Local"
									: "Inherited"
								)
					 	+ '</td>');

	if (typeof object[property] == 'function')
	{
		document.writeln ('<td class="function">' + object[property] + '</td>');
	}
	else
	{
		document.writeln ('<td class="function"> </td>');
	}

}

As long as renderfunction = false, the object is fine coming out of this function.

However, if I change renderfunction to true, all my properties become undefined.

Why isn't this working as I expect it to?

How should I fix it?

Thanks in advance,

-Brian.

Uncaught Exception [object Object]? - Will Pay $10 Via Paypal To Helper!

I can't get any info from Firebug except that one line, uncaught exception [object Object]. The code fully worked, then I needed to make it dynamically create Sortables from the scriptaculous library based on how many X were in a table in my database, which I've done, and I'm thinking it may be a simple slight parse error of some type, I'm not too good with Javascript, because now my script barely works. I've double checked the script's source code, the PHP variables are exactly what they should be.

Code:

print<<<HERE
               Sortable.create('sortlist$box', { tag: 'img', overlap:'horizontal',constraint:false, containment: $list, dropOnEmpty: true, 
                onChange: function(item) {
                    var list = Sortable.options(item).element;
                    
                    if(changeEffect) changeEffect.cancel();
                    changeEffect = new Effect.Highlight('changeNotification', {restoreColor:"transparent" });
                },
            
            
            
            onDrop: function(item) {
            var thing=Sortable.options(item).element.identify();
            
            var anchors = document.getElementById(thing).childNodes.length-2;
            
            if(anchors > 20){
            alert('This box had 20 creatures in it already, your last action has not been saved.');
            window.location.reload();
            }
            else{
            
            new Ajax.Request("saveImageOrder.php", {
                        method: "post",
                        parameters: { data: Sortable.serialize("sortlist$box") }
                    });
               }   
}               
            });
               
HERE;
$box++;

}
?>

Dhtml Window Object Retrieval

Similar Tutorials

I have some code that creates a DHML window, I'll call that code MyDHTMLWin .

Now what happens is I create a new MyDHTMLWin object and what happens inside that is it creates an iFrame. Now in my init method I do this..

this.iFrameObj.dhtmlWinObj = this;

What I what to do is from inside the file loaded in the iFrame is be able to get the object that opened the window. I did used to do var newWin = new dhtmlWinObj(....); and then parent.newWin.anything() but this is no longer fit for purpose as I reuse this code and the variable names will change. But no matter what I try I just can't seem to get that object that should be stored in the iFrames dhtmlWinObj attribute.

I thought it would be this.dhtmlWinObj but that doesn't work

How can I get the object that opened my DHTML window???

TIA,
Dale

Accessing An Object Within An Array Nested Within Another Object.

Similar Tutorials

I'm writing a program that involves a network of interconnected nodes (or simply objects in my example below). It depends on being able to access properties of an object's linked objects (a bit oddly worded, sorry)...

Problem is I'm not sure how to properly access those properties... see below please.

<script>

//This is an example of a problem im having in my own code...
//I want to access the name of the object within the links array wintin the object...

var objA = {name: "Object A", links: [objB, objC]};
var objB = {name: "Object B", links: [objC, objD, objE]};
var objC = {name: "Object C", links: [objB]};
var objD = {name: "Object D", links: [objE]};
var objE = {name: "Object E", links: [objD]};

//ex: I want to access the name of Object A's first link...
console.log(objA.links[0].name);

</script>

I'm hoping to get "Object B"...
But instead I get: TypeError: Result of expression 'objA.links[0]' [undefined] is not an object.
Is there another way around this? Any thoughts are appreciated.

Get Variable Name Of An Object From Inside The Object

Similar Tutorials

Hello.

Is there any way to get the variable name of an object from inside the object?

E.g.

PHP Code:
function Bla(){

    this.write = function(){
    document.write(<objectname>);

    }

}

obj1 = new Bla();
obj1.write(); //Outputs obj1

Here is my script:

PHP Code:
function myTimer(seconds, obj){
    this.seconds = seconds;
    this.obj = obj;
    this.startTimer = function(){
        if(this.seconds>0){
            this.seconds--;
            this.obj.innerHTML = this.seconds;
            this.timer = setTimeout("Timer.start()",1000);
        }
    }

}
Timer = new Timer(10, obj);
Timer.startTimer();

Now the problem is that the variable that contains the object must be named "Timer".

This way I cannot create new timer objects with different variable names

I have tried:
this.timer = setTimeout("this.start()",1000);
but it doesn't work.

That's why it would be good to detect the variable name and instead use something like this:
this.timer = setTimeout(varname+".start()",1000);

I would rather not have to pass the variable name through a parameter like this:
Timer1 = new Timer(10, obj, "Timer1");

Thanks in advance.

Object Is Null Or Not An Object

I am trying to troubleshoot my javascript function below.

Code:

<script type="text/javascript">
function txtboxfill(fillobj) {
    var rChar=String.fromCharCode(13);	
    var myVal = "To: " + this.form.to.value + rChar;
    myVal = myVal + "From: " + this.form.from.value + rChar;
    myVal = myVal + "Subj: " + this.form.subj.value + rChar + rChar;
    myVal = myVal + "Message: ";
    fillobj.value = myVal;
}
</script>

Then I have a text box input field with an Code:

<input type="text" id="tp" name="to" size="34" class="totext" onkeyup="txtboxfill(this.form.msg_area);">

and when I enter text in this field it gives me a 'this.form.to' is null or not an object and does not populate the textarea. BTW, msg_area is the id of my textarea.

Thank you.

Object Help

Hello, below you will find two objects, background and photo1, which I need help cleaning up a bit. This will eventually be imported using Json but for now during development it sits as is in my script. I need help with a couple things:

- You will notice the 'val' property is identical in both objects. How can I move this into an outside function that each object can share? I'm having trouble bc I couldn't get 'this' to work outside of its current context.

- Second, how can I restructure this so that I can instantiate a new object. So if I wanted to add a new layer I'd like to do something like importLayers.push[new Layer('photo2')]

Code:

        var importLayers = {
            background: {
                layerType: 'background',
                index: 0,

I am rather new to javascript programming and not sure if this is the best approach to handle a problem.
In setting up a simple image display that can later be modified to a rotator, I am using the following code

window.document.display1.src = image1.src;

now the question is when modifying that to be more dynamic, where display1,display2,.. can refer to a different image (or set).

var Image = "image";
var Display = "display";
for (i=1; i<n; i++){
window.document.this[Display+i].src = this[Image+i].src;
}
I know the right hand side of the equation is working (alert() displays the right soure), but the problem is the left hand side. I guess because of me not fully understanding the way objects work. why this[] works on the right and not on the left? and how do I resolve it?
All your comments, and a push in right direction are appreciated.

Hello awesome coders! I am here in need of your help.
I have a site with a lot of videos, from different sources, in different sizes, only thing they have in common is <div id="player">.
Due do different sources, each video player is different. Some have embed code, some have object, some have iframe, some have both/all.
Is it possible to create a script that will: Change the height and width of object, embed, iframe within the div. Is there another way to resolve this issue without changing all video code manually.
