JavaScript - Update Database On Print?

I have the some text loaded in light box with background faded.


i want the print button in the light box so that when user click on that only the contents of light box is printed and printer box opens up.

How to do that??

Dear all,
I would like to use javascript that prints randomly one string to the string, from an array of predefined string.

How do you think I should start thinking that?

Hey there guys, I'm working with an AJAX request that returns some stuff to print in 2 boxes. All working great, so I decided to make something fluffy, when I click a result in the AJAX request, he filters the clicked result, so you only see that clicked row. When clicked again, the old results will return. All working great.

Now, my problem, I wanted a checkbox after every row in the search results and when the user clicks twice on a result to filter it and than goes back to the old results to check the checkboxes again that were checked before filtering that component.

I made the functions and it didn't work till I put some alerts in, when the return function got some time to finish printing (like with the user had to click on OK in the alert) it worked. When I deleted the alerts, it didn't work again...

I searched on the internet, found a function to wait for an image to load or smth similar and I found some guys that used a function to wait for a specific time (1 sec for example) and that's not what I want. If I use a specific waittime it can still fail if the PC is slow, or whatever, it's just not nice coding.

So, is there something I can do so it waits till my AJAX request has been printed?


Thanks!

I've searched and searched. It seems the sages, and experienced programmers think var dashes = "------------"; is the easiest way. Certainly there must be some simple (or not as simple) way of printing a line of dashes in javascript without declaring a variable as "----------" (that's just sloppy)

I don't mean to be rude but this should be easy. Right? Or must I resort to a loop (probably an integer count) that ends at a declared number like 10 or 20?

Thanks, And I really think this thread will come in useful to many others (in future searches) who have had just as hard a time as finding this as I.

Thanks again.

hey there i was wondering if anyone knows how to get a print option button in a pop up window , i am using html with javascript to create a currency converter i have a button on my main page which opens up a popup window with information taken and totalled from the user input , i would like to be able to offer the option to print this window off .
code is

function open_win(){
myWindow=window.open('','','width=300,height=300');
myWindow.document.write("<p>Current sterling recieved</p>",sterling_total,"<p>Total commision recieved</p>",commision_total,"<p>Total Money Recieved</p>",running_total);
myWindow.focus();

}

I'm working with the squeezebox modal.js implemented with Joomla! for my images in some extra fields. I'm trying to add a print button functionality in order to print the image within the lightbox.

Adding the button was fairly easy, I simply copied and pasted

this.closeBtn=(new Element("a",{id:"sbox-btn-close",href:"#"})).inject(this.win);

and made

this.printBtn=(new Element("a",{id:"sbox-btn-print",href:"#"})).inject(this.win);

I then made my print button png, went into the modal.css, added this:

#sbox-btn-print {
position: absolute;
width: 30px;
height: 30px;
right: 10px;
top: -15px;
background: url(../images/modal/print_btn.png) no-repeat center;
border: none;
}

And boom, print button, however making it work right is certainly not coming along as easy. I tried changing the href to
javascript:window.print()
but that just prints the contents of the browser, not the image in the box, no bueno. I then tried pushing the button functionality into a separate javascript function, but couldn't even get that far. I'm sure if I tweak it enough I can make it work, but I'm not all that great at programming within javascript. I'm fairly proficient with actionscript, php and css, I just don't know the syntax all involved here.

If anyone can point me in the right direction that would be appreciated. Sadly I can't simply switch it out with another lightbox that already has the option to print, as Joomla! K2 Extra Fields doesn't really give you that option. Help!

Hi everyone! I need a little help with something. I have a page with several links that when clicked open a modal window. The same window for each link, with a form. However inside the form I need to print the id of the link that was clicked. Like so:

<a href="#" id="1">Link 1</a>
<a href="#" id="2">Link 2</a>
<a href="#" id="3">Link 3</a>

<form>
....somehow print/echo the id of the link...
</form>

Is this possible? Does anyone know how to do that? I'd appreciate any help!

Hello!

I have a pretty straight forward question dealing with JQuery/Javascript (I'm pretty new to both, so the syntax is still escaping me). I have a javascript file that holds an array of objects inside of it (addresses to be exact) and I then need to take that array and call it to print into the Title attribute of a <li> after the list has been populated.

Below is the Javascript arrray:
Code:

var banner_data = [ "address1","address2","address3","address4"];
var obj = { one:"address1", two:"address2", three:"address3", four:"address4" }

And this is how it is being called in the HTML:
Code:

$('ul>li').each(function(){
      var $this = $(this); // current list item
      var idx = $this.index();
      var thisAddress = banner_data[idx]; 
	  $this.attr('title', thisAddress.append[4])
});

any thoughts? I have jQuery 1.7.1 installed, a fully valid html/css and a proper doctype (just to cover our bases haha)

I would like to create a print preview window that will display only the main content of the page that a person would really want to print. I found a script that didn't do that, but that I was able to adapt, somewhat. It doesn't fully work though and I can't get it any better. Here is what I have...

<html>
<head>
<title></title>
<script LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
function displayHTML(printContent) {
var inf = printContent;
win = window.open("print.htm", 'popup', 'toolbar = no, status = no');
win.document.write(inf);
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="printarea">Print this stuff.</div>
<a href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="displayHTML(printarea.innerHTML)">Print Preview</a>
</body>
</html>

In mozilla it opens the new window but continues to be thinking about something indefinitly. In Safari the new window opens but there is no content. In IE it seems to work fine. I haven't tested NS yet, nor have I tested any of this on a PC.

Thanks for any help.

Complete newbie to JS,

If button is clicked, want form to be validated. If the validation passes then bring up print dialogue

I have got the validation (using dreamweaver) working, however if the form is correct , how do I get the print dialogue (window.print()) to appear?

here's the code

Code:

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/JavaScript">
<!--
function MM_findObj(n, d) { //v4.01
  var p,i,x;  if(!d) d=document; if((p=n.indexOf("?"))>0&&parent.frames.length) {
    d=parent.frames[n.substring(p+1)].document; n=n.substring(0,p);}
  if(!(x=d[n])&&d.all) x=d.all[n]; for (i=0;!x&&i<d.forms.length;i++) x=d.forms[i][n];
  for(i=0;!x&&d.layers&&i<d.layers.length;i++) x=MM_findObj(n,d.layers[i].document);
  if(!x && d.getElementById) x=d.getElementById(n); return x;
}

function MM_validateForm() { //v4.0
  var i,p,q,nm,test,num,min,max,errors='',args=MM_validateForm.arguments;
  
  for (i=0; i<(args.length-2); i+=3) { test=args[i+2]; val=MM_findObj(args[i]);
    if (val) { nm=val.name; if ((val=val.value)!="" ) {
      if (test.indexOf('isEmail')!=-1) { p=val.indexOf('@');
        if (p<1 || p==(val.length-1)) errors+='- '+nm+' must contain an e-mail address.\n';
      } else if (test!='R') { num = parseFloat(val);
        if (isNaN(val)) errors+='- '+nm+' must contain a number.\n';
        if (test.indexOf('inRange') != -1) { p=test.indexOf(':');
          min=test.substring(8,p); max=test.substring(p+1);
          if (num<min || max<num) errors+='- '+nm+' must contain a number between '+min+' and '+max+'.\n';
    } } } else if (test.charAt(0) == 'R') errors += '- '+nm+' is required.\n'; }
			
  } if (errors) alert('The following error(s) occurred:\n'+errors);
  document.MM_returnValue = (errors == '');
 
}
//-->
</script>

Code:

  <td><input name="Name" type="text" id="Name" size="50" maxlength="50"></td>

	<input name="Button" type="button" onClick="MM_validateForm('Name','','R');return document.MM_returnValue" value="Button" />

Hi there
It's huge problem for me but I don't think it is for many of you here.
I have been asked at the college to make a manual lottery checker using javascript, but I found lots of problem during the coding. To make it more clear it's about 3 players they always play the same set of 6 number between 1 and 49. the players enter manually the winning number using a prompt which popup when you open the page (No button required for this, just simple prompt). each time you type duplicate number an alert tells that this number been entered, when the six number been successfully entered will ask for the bonus ball the same way but it should between 1 and 49 as well. When this done the program print out for each player the much numbers.
This my peace of coding but I stucked in many bits in it. I need your knowledge guys in javascript to fix this for me.

Code:

<html>
<head>
    <title>Lottery Checker</title>
<h1>Lottery Checker</h1>
</head>
<body>

    <script type="text/javascript">
	
	//Declare Variable
	
	var number1 = [3, 9, 18, 27, 30, 33];
	var number2 = [5, 7, 11, 12, 34, 42];
	var number3= [4, 15, 21, 23, 27, 31];
	var drawNumber = [];
	var bonusBall = [];

	//Declare variable Times and Dates
	
	var currentTime = new Date();
	var day = currentTime.toUTCString();

	// Print out the player set numbers
	document.write("<h4>You visited the lottery website at  :</h4>" + day);  //Print out Times and Dates
	
	document.write('<p>Player number 1  : '+ number1 +'</p>');
    document.write('<p>Player number 2  : '+ number2 +'</p>');
    document.write('<p>Player number 3  : '+ number3 +'</p>');
	
    //Copare Lottery Number arrays
	
	
	
	
    //Add input number using prompt to add the 6 bonus number and the bonus ball
	for (var i=0 ; i<=5 ; i++)
	{	
	    drawNumber[i] = prompt("Enter the Lottery draw Number.");
		 drawNumber.sort(function(a, b){return a-b});
		 
               //Fix the lottery Numbers between 1 and 49
	    while (drawNumber[i]<1 || drawNumber[i]>49)
	    {
	    drawNumber[i] = prompt("The lottery Number should be between 1 and 49");  // to insert Prompt insteat the Alert
		} 
		
		if (drawNumber[i] = drawNumber)   // if statement to be checked again
	    {
	    alert('You already entered this number');// if statement to be checked again
	    }	
	}
	    document.write('<p>The winning lottery number for this week: '+drawNumber+ ', The bonus number: '+ drawNumber[6] + '</p></br>');
	 //Sort the winning number by each player
	 
	 // Display the result for each player how many number much
	 document.write('Player  1 winning numbers: ' + drawNumber +'</br>');
	 document.write('Player  2 winning numbers: ' + drawNumber +'</br>');
	 document.write('Player  3 winning numbers: ' + drawNumber +'</br>');
		
	</script>

Hi,

I am having trouble with a recursive function I created to list out the indexes and values of various nested objects.

Code:

var macros={
    CTRL: {
        ALT: {
            ENTER: "<br />",
            P: "<p>.</p>",
            A: "<a href=\"\">.</a>",
            _1: "<h1>.</h1>",
            _2: "<h2>.</h2>",
            _3: "<h3>.</h3>",
            _4: "<h4>.</h4>",
            _5: "<h5>.</h5>",
            _6: "<h6>.</h6>"
        }
    }    
};

I want to print out the whole 'bread crumb trail' to each object, ie CTRL ALT 6: <h6>.</h6>, but at the moment my function prints out CTRL ALT twice for 'ENTER' and then never again.

The function:

Code:

function printObj(obj) {
    for(i in obj) {
        var n=i.replace("_", "");
        document.write(n);
        if(typeof obj[i]=="string") {
            document.write(":");
            document.write(" "+obj[i].replace(/</g, "&lt;").replace(/>/g, "&gt;"));
        }
        
        else {
            document.write(n);
        }
        if(typeof obj[i]=="object") printObj(obj[i]);
        document.write("\n");
    }
}

printObj(macros);

The current output:

Code:

CTRLCTRLALTALTENTER: <br /> P: <p>.</p> A: <a href="">.</a> 1: <h1>.</h1> 2: <h2>.</h2> 3: <h3>.</h3> 4: <h4>.</h4> 5: <h5>.</h5> 6: <h6>.</h6>

Any advice would be appreciated.

Cheers,
Gus

Hi all. I am having a problem understanding exactly how setInterval and setTimeout work and really need some help.

I want to create an array and then print out each element one at a time at one second intervals.

I've only been able to come up with something like this, but it just prints the last value of the array after a second.
Code:

<script type = "text/javascript">
<!--

var myArray = new Array();

for (var i = 0; i < 11; i++){
   myArray[i]=i+50;
}

for (var i = 0; i < myArray.length-1; i++){

   setInterval("document.getElementById('here').innerHTML = myArray[i];", 1000);
}



//-->
</script>

<div id="here">Stuff here</div>
