JavaScript - Getting All Properties Of An Itunes Object?

Hi Experts here,
Pls help.

I have written the html code like this:


<a href="http://mypage.com/docfiles" target="_blank"> Click </a>


But the problem is when ever the user click the click option complete url is displaying in two ways

1)on the buttom of the status bar

2)Right click on the option open the properties than also we are getting the complete url.


But we don't want to see the complete url,How to hide the Url.

Please give me solution I am struggling alot.

Thanks and Regards,
Srinivas yadav.

I am a total noob to JS and need a little help.

Currently writing some small snippets to control iTunes.

An example:
Code:

var iTunesApp = WScript.CreateObject("iTunes.Application"); 
iTunesApp.LibraryPlaylist.AddFile('B:\\filetoadd.mp4');

Nicely adds a file to the library.

Now, i need to set the encoder. I try this:

Code:

var iTunesApp = WScript.CreateObject("iTunes.Application");
iTunesApp.CurrentEncoder("MP3");

I get: object doesn't support this property of method.

iTunes SDK docs:


HRESULT IiTunes::CurrentEncoder ( [in] IITEncoder * iEncoder )

Sets the current encoder (AAC, MP3, AIFF, WAV, etc.).


Parameters:
iEncoder An IITEncoder object corresponding to the new encoder.


Any ideas?

I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO FIGURE OUT THE PARAMETERS IN THE FUNCTIONS, INCLUDING THE ARRAYS [i], [p], ["get_" + i], ["set_" + i] AND HOW THE METHODS ARE BEING CALLED IN RELATION TO i, p and val, so that I can make sense of this code. If possible can you explain the code also

What I will like to know are the properties and methods of the objects generated in the following code?

Also I want to know how I can use those methods to show and change the name and age for the emp2 object.

this is the code:


function Employee(properties) {
for (var i in properties) {
if (properties.hasOwnProperty(i)
&& typeof properties[i] != 'function')
{
this["get_"+i] = (function(p) {
return function() { return properties[p]; };
})(i);
this["set_"+i] = (function(p) {
return function(val) { properties[p] = val; };
})(i);
}
}
}

var emp1 = new Employee({ name: "Bob", age: 35, foo: function() {} });
var emp2 = new Employee({ name: "Gary", age: 54 });

Hi, every time I try and alert:

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

it just shows [object object], [object object], [object object].

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

Thanks.

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++;

}
?>
          
        });
    </script>

if you solve this I'll send ya $10 via paypal

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??

Hi all,

I'm stumped on finding a way in javascript to create an object factory whose instances are also object factories. In short I want something like that below, but no joy ... any clues?


Code:

function createClass () {
	return new createClass()
	function createClass() {
		return new createInstance ()
		function createInstance () {
			//Default properties, values and methods which might later be extended
		}
	}
}

var createDoor = createClass();
var door1 = createDoor();
var door2 = createDoor();

var createChair = createClass();
var chair1 = createChair ();
var chair2 = createChair ();

Ignore post (if mod, please delete)

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.

Hi,

I've done control in asp.net/javascript and it works on some pages of mine and as it often happens doesn't work on customer's pages .
All pages are run in IE 6.0.
After I run debugger I've found out that on my page offsetLeft/Top clientHeight properties have some non-zero values.
I have <span id="listCLient" style="width:200px;">..</span> and on my test page elListClient.clientHeight = 200, but on customer's app's page it is 0x0 ?
Same with other offsetXXX properties etc.
But elListClient.style.height bears correct value.
I use those properties everywhere.

I think it is some settings somewhere ? or CSS styles ?
Can anyone help ?

Thanks a lot

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.

Quote:
menu: function( a, b ) {
$( b ).observe( 'click', function( event ) {
event.stop();
if( $( a ).visible() ) {
$( a ).hide();
$( b ).removeClassName( 'selected' );
document.stopObserving( 'click' );
} else {
$( a ).show();
$( b ).addClassName( 'selected' );
document.observe( 'click', function( e ) {
if( e.target.id != a && e.target.id != b && !Element.descendantOf( e.target, $( a ) ) ) {
$( a ).hide();
$( b ).removeClassName( 'selected' );
document.stopObserving( 'click' );
}
});
}
});

$$( '#' + b + ' > a' ).each( function( element ) {
element.observe( 'click', function( event ) {
$( a ).hide();
$( b ).removeClassName( 'selected' );
document.stopObserving( 'click' );
});
});
}
This work's perfrect accept when i use it with others on the menu it leaves the other ones open, how do i get it to close the open one when i open a new menu..

Thanks.

Hello. I'm Ansem717 and I've been honestly coding Javascript since August; however, I have learned and coded a few things a couple years ago. I'm not a master at Javascript, but I can follow along what most people say or code. I decided to test my skill in coding, by making a text-based RPG game via Javascript.

Sorry It's so large. I'm have a major bug and it's getting in my way. It has to do with the rooms objects. As you can see I set a new array to have the ability to create rooms on the spot and each of the rooms contacted the function of creating an object.

PHP Code:
function room(name,actions,objectsInRoom,defaultTxT) {
    this.name = name
    this.text = defaultTxT;
    this.actions = (actions&&actions!=0) ? actions.split("__") : "There are no actions present in this room";
    this.objects = (objectsInRoom&&objectsInRoom!=0) ? objectsInRoom.split("__") : "There are no objects present in this room";
}

var rooms=new Array();
rooms[0]=new room("clearing","SELF INFO__LOOK AROUND__WALK NORTH__WALK WEST__WALK EAST__WALK SOUTH__DROP",0,player.name+" is stranded in a clearing.")
rooms[1]=new room("goblin hideout","SELF INFO__LOOK AROUND__WALK SOUTH__ATTACK__TALK__DROP",items[0][0]+"__"+items[0][1],player.name+" has approched a goblin hideout!")
rooms[2]=new room("weaponry","SELF INFO__LOOK AROUND__WALK WEST__PICKUP__DROP",items[1][0]+"__"+items[1][1],player.name+" is inside a weaponry! Weapons increase "+player.name+"\'s strength, but may decrease his speed. Another thing to account for is "+player.name+"\'s inventory and weight. It's not like "+player.name+"\'s inventory has no end.")
rooms[3]=new room("armory","SELF INFO__LOOK AROUND__WALK NORTH__PICKUP__DROP",items[2][0]+"__"+items[2][1],player.name+" is in an armory! Armor increases "+player.name+"\'s defence, but may decrease, or even increase, his speed. Another thing to account for is "+player.name+"\'s inventory and weight as well as the Armor's weight. It's not like "+player.name+"\'s inventory has no end.")
rooms[4]=new room("empty room","SELF INFO__LOOK AROUND__WALK EAST__DROP",0,player.name+" has noticed a sign that says, \"No one may enter.\" Behind the sign, there is a large barbed fence that "+player.name+" cannot penetrate.") 


In the above code, I'm creating various objects following under the variables rooms[0] to rooms[4], yea?. At the very beggining of the whole RPG game, it brings up some text saying name yourself in the input box below. After you do that, it adds more text to a textarea 'reminding' you of what your name was. The game then is supposed to start right after that, but thats when we run into these functions, on which counteract with the variabled rooms above:

PHP Code:
function gameStart() {
    d.tb.gamescreen.value=" ";
    gameSCRN('First thing is first. Name yourself! At the bottom, there should be a small box you can type into. Type your name into that box.',1,1);
}

function nameSelf() {
    var name=d.tb.myname.value;
    player=new Obj(name, 100, 0, 0, 5);

As you can see, we have the starting function which is initiated after all of the HTML elements load, then we have the "nameSelf()" function which creates the player as well as sets the timeout for the actual game.

The main error code is right he gameSCRN(rooms[presentRoom].text,1,0); and in both IE and Firefox, the script doesn't continue. It doesn't preform the "gameSCRN()" function. In IE, I'm able to click on something that shows me errors within the browser. The Error IE presented: 'rooms[...].text' is null or not an object. What does this mean? I remember setting 'rooms[0].text' to have a string value, and I did do some debugging, 'rooms[0].text' does return with the apropreate value, as well as, 'rooms[presentRoom].text' does too. They just won't work in the above function?

I have searched your forums, very good codes out there, but I have not found something concrete that can fix this bug. I'd be really grateful for your help as well as some hints and tips on Javascript coding, since I would also like some help on cleaning up my javascript.

And no, I am not taking any programming courses, however much I wish I am. Thanks in advanced!

Is there a way to circle trough the native properties (constructor, prototype, length) of an Array object? Obviously, a simple for(a in array) won't do the trick.
