please Look At These Properties And Methods & Changing Properties	View Content

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 });

Remembering Object Properties And Methods

Do many programmers remember most of the object properties and methods or do they use IDE or references to find those specific objects.

I'm starting to learn Javascript and seeing all the different type of objects available can be depressing.

Nested Methods And Properties In Javascript

Hi all! I'm pretty new to JavaScript and completely new to this forum. I'm James.

Well uh, I'm not sure how to...

I wanted to make something like this using javascript...

Code:

myObject.someMethod('something').anotherProperty

much like the

Code:

document.getElementById('someId').style.morestuff

But the thing is, I've been around every DOM whatnot I can find, I just can't seem to make it work.

I kinda need it to make my own DOM for some API i'm writing. So I can write like...

Code:

function someGreatAPI(){
     this.property1='';
     this.property2='';
     //...
     this.method1 = function(var1){            //this should make my firstMethod
           this.nestedProperty = 0;
           this.nestedMethod = someFunction;  //firstMethods nested method

     }
}

//so I can use it like...

var obj = new someGreatAPI();
obj.method1(10).nestedMethod();

It has to be possible, it's possible with document.getelementbyid, right? it has to be.

Thanks in advance.

Executing Object Methods Is Killing Object Properties

Similar Tutorials

View Content

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,

Why Offsetxxx Properties Are All Zero ?

View Content

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

Accessing Css Properties Issue

I have developped a script in order to resize the height of a div on a web page in order to display it at least up to the size of the window. Here is the code:

function resize(){
var frame = document.getElementById("content");
var padding_top = parseInt(window.getComputedStyle(frame,null).getPropertyValue("padding-top"));
var padding_bottom = parseInt(window.getComputedStyle(frame,null).getPropertyValue("padding-bottom"));
var padding = padding_top + padding_bottom;
var bodyheight = document.body.scrollHeight;
var windowheight = window.innerHeight;
if (bodyheight < windowheight){
frame.style.height = windowheight - padding + "px";
}
}

It works well, but I was wondering why I am not able to get the padding-top and -bottom using these two instructions:

var padding_top = frame.style.paddingTop;
var padding_bottom = frame.style.paddingBottom;

The script runs but Firebug shows empty strings for both values. How come? Is there a bug in Firefox?

Thanks inadvance for your time and help.

Getting All Properties Of An Itunes Object?

Similar Tutorials

View Content

I'm not sure I phrased the question properly and it's probably easiest to show what I'm trying to get. Basically, I want to find all the properties(?) available for a single track object in iTunes.

For example, this is how I access what's stored as the Album and Artist for a track:
Code:

var myTracks = myPlaylists(1).Tracks;
alert(myTracks(1).Album);
alert(myTracks(1).Artist);

There are a ton of properties (like Album and Artist), but I don't know what they all are, so I was trying to list them like this, but it doesn't work:
Code:

for(var key in myTracks(1))
 alert(key);

It's probably obvious why this doesn't work, but does anyone know how to get this list?

Thanks for any help!

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);
    gameSCRN(n+"Hello there "+player.name+"!"+n+n+"In a couple of seconds, the game will begin.");
    get("name").style.display="none";
    get("act").style.display="block";
    setTimeout(function(){ActualGameStart();},5000)
}

function ActualGameStart() {
    presentRoom=0
    visualizeRoom();
}

function visualizeRoom() {
    gameSCRN(rooms[presentRoom].text,1,0);
    if (rooms[presentRoom].actions!="There are no actions present in this room")
    {
        for (i=0; i<rooms[presentRoom].actions.length; i++)
        {
            gameSCRN(rooms[presentRoom].actions[i],1,0);
        }
    }
    else
    {
        gameSCRN(rooms[presentRoom].actions,1,0);
    }
}

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!

Cloning Object And I Can't Override Properties, Why?

I have something like this

var oneTest = new CustomObj({
prop1 : 'value1',
prop2 : 'value2',
prop3 : 'value3'
})

var twoText = Object.clone(oneTest)
twoText.prop2 = "newvalue2"

And when I console log twoText I see something like

+Data
prop2

Inside Data is a prop2 that has the value of "value2". THAT is the one I want to change/override... yet the console shows me that the prop2 is outside of the data structure so when I am acting on the cloned obj I am not getting the results i need.

I tried obj.extend etc.... and that didn't work, perhaps my syntax was wrong. Any advice?

An If Statement With Check Target Properties

Not sure if I even ask correctly. Excuse the poor PHP man for not knowing javascript. I need to add a check to this code.

It picks up an image when you click on it, then puts it down when you click again.

What it needs is another check WHERE (on what) have you clicked to put it down. If it's a particular DIV then OK. If not (if elsewhere) don't put it down and don't change the click counter.

Code:

var selID = newItem.pid+"Qty";
var qtySelect = document.getElementById(selID);

newItem.qty = qtySelect.options[index].value;
}
}

Javascript - Accessing Object's Internal Properties

Hello everyone,

I am fairly familiar with the concept of Objects and their properties and methods, but javascript being object based as opposed to object oriented has me stumped on how to access an object's properties from an onclick event handler created for another object created within the original object.

In the example below, I have a constructor function called anyObj. to which I pass an object reference to an element.

anyObj has 3 properties and one function increaseWidth()

increaseWidth() creates a new button with an onclick event handler and this is where I have a problem.

The onclick function needs to increase the value of anyObj's this.width property. I originally had a line this.width += 10; in the onclick but quickly realised why this wasn't working because the this in the onclick function refers to the new button object and not the this.width property of anyObj.

The workaround I have used, and it works, is to make a copy of all the this.xxxxx properties. eg. width = this.width; and use the width variable in the onclick as you can see below. This "workaround" works fine but doesn't feel ideal to me.

So, what I am asking advice on is, is there a better way to access the anyObj()'s properties from within the onclick function than the way I have done it? Obviously I would prefer to not have to make copies of all the anyObj() properties like I have to make them accessible to the onclick function.
Code:

         function anyObj(divObj){
                this.elem = divObj;
                this.width = 50;
                this.height = 50;
                this.increaseWidth=function(){
                    width = this.width;
                    height = this.height;
                    //create a button for this object to be appended to an element later on
                    var newButton = document.createElement('button');
                    newButton.onclick=function(){
                        width += 10;
                        //...
                        //...
                    }
                    //...
                    //...
                }
            }

Why Doesn't Switch Statement Work With Object Properties?

Hey everyone, I'm a newbie writing a tic tac toe program using OOP. It was simple setting it up so that a player could click on a box to put an X or an O there, but I've run into serious issues when trying to make it so a player couldn't overwrite the AI's choice and the AI couldn't overwrite the player's.

An example of this would be if I made the top right box an X and the AI then made the center box an O, and then I accidentally clicked the center box and made it into an X. I want to prevent that.

Every box on the grid is an object with the property of "taken" that helps the program know if a box is empty or not, so as to avert any overwriting in the first place.

If the box is empty, this.taken = 0. If the box is filled by a player, taken = 1. If filled by AI, taken = 2. I made it matter whether it was AI or human so later i can check if one of them got tic tac toe. Anyway, by default the constructor class sets this.taken = 0. But the method for checking availability and writing the X or O uses a switch which checks if taken = 0. If it is, it sets taken to either 1 or 2 and writes the necessary symbol. If taken = 1 or 2, it just alerts the player that the spot is taken.

But for some reason the switch statement can't tell when taken = anything other than 0. It always executes the code for 0 even though the code for 0 inherently makes it so that taken never equals 0 again, which means case 0 cannot happen anymore.

Below is the code with notes.

Code:

function main(input){//start of main function//
		
	function Click(who, where, what){ //this is the method for checking if it's taken or not and writing the X or O if it isn't//


 /*the argument who represents a number. 0 is no one, 1 is human, 2 is AI; where is a string literal 
representing the spot on the grid*/

		switch(this.taken){
			
			case 0:
			this.taken = who;
			document.getElementById(where).innerHTML = what;
			break;
		
			case 1:
			alert("this spot is taken");
			break;
			
			case 2:
			alert("this spot is taken");
		}//end switch
	}//end Click
			

	function Box(inputhere){//start of class//	
		this.taken = 0;
		this.pick = Click;
	}

//end of Box class//

   //object declarations (I cut out most of them and left only the relevant ones//

	var topleft = new Box();
        var topmid = new Box();
	var topright = new Box();
	var centerright = new Box();

   //end of object declarations//


	switch (input){

/*in each .pick(), the first arg is whether or not a player chose it (1 = player did, 2 = comp did). 
The second arg is which box and the third is whether to put an X or O. The input variable in the switch statement is an argument passed through main() when the 
player clicks on a box. Topleft passes 1.1, topmid passes 1.2 and so on.*/

			case 1.1:{

//The first instance of .pick() in each case is what the player did. The second is what the AI will do in repsonse.//

               
			topleft.pick(1, "topleft", "X");
                        topmid.pick(2, "topmid", "<span>O</span>");

		break;
			}//end of case 1.1
			
			case 1.3:{
			topright.pick(1, "topright", "X");
			centerright.pick(2, "centerright", "<span>O</span>");
		break;
			}//end of case 1.3
	}//end of switch


}//end of main//

Is there anyone who has any idea why on earth this is happening? I've been at it for an embarrassing amount of hours.

Also, thanks to anyone who even considers helping : )
(feel free to flame me if my code sucks or my post is too long or anything).

Dynamic Creation Of Form Element Name/id Properties Doesn't Work In Ie

Hi!
I have encountered a problem with IE that I'm simply unable to solve. I have a form where the user can choose different things to input from a drop down list and depending on the choise, different kinds of textboxes of text areas etc. are loaded onto the page with JS. After the user has finished inputing text and submits the form, I read the input with PHP and process it further. Now, this works perfectly in firefox but IE doesn't seem to add the name properties to the elements (both textboxes and text areas) because PHP cannot find them and no info is printed from the input. The creation of the elements (adding them to the page...) works just fine, it's just getting the data from them that's the problem. Since it works in FF I know it's not a PHP problem. I've used the recommended .name to set the property (although I've also tried .setAttribute() etc), yet it still doesn't work. What can I do to solve this?

My relevant JS code:

Code:

function addTextbox(idName, head)
{
var target = document.getElementById('addThings');

var newDiv = document.createElement("div");
newDiv.id = "container"; 
newDiv.name = "container"; 
newDiv.setAttribute("className", "intNew"); //IE
newDiv.setAttribute("class", "intNew"); //FF

var newTextbox = document.createElement("input");
newTextbox.type = "text";
newTextbox.id = idName; //--
newTextbox.name = idName; //Doesn't work in IE?.. 
newTextbox.setAttribute("className", "newWidth"); //IE
newTextbox.setAttribute("class", "newWidth"); //FF

var text = document.createTextNode(head + ":"); 

target.appendChild(newDiv);
newDiv.appendChild(text);
newDiv.innerHTML += "<br />";
newDiv.appendChild(newTextbox);
newDiv.innerHTML += "<p />";

}

(The text area function is the same, more or less)

The PHP code, if anyone's interested:

Code:

if($_POST['createBtn'])
{
$head = $_POST['head']; //1
$intro = $_POST['intro']; //2
$question = $_POST['question']; //3
$answer = $_POST['answer']; //3
$image = $_POST['image']; //?
$author = $_POST['author']; //5
$end = $_POST['end']; //4
//sammanfattning

printHTMLTop(9);

$today = date('Y-m-d');

$text = <<<END
<div class="intContainer">
<div class="intHeadRow"><b>$head &nbsp;</b></div>
<div class="stpdIEContainer">
<div class="intTextContainer">
<p />
$intro
<p />
END;

if($question != "" && answer != "")
{
foreach($question as $k)
{
$text .= $k . "<p />";

foreach($answer as $j)
{
$text .= $j . "<p />";
}

}
}

$text .= <<<END
<p />
$end
<p />
<i>Skrivet av: $author den $today</i>
</div> <!-- intTextContainer -->
<div class="intImgContainer">&nbsp;</div></div> <!-- stpdIEContainer -->
</div> <!-- intContainer -->

END;

//Prints to new file (on server) 
$file = file_put_contents('interviews/interview01.html', $text); //Set name
//Add to DB

//print newly created file
$page = file_get_contents('interviews/interview01.html');

echo $page;

printHTMLBottom();
