JavaScript - Javascript To Return To Previous Page
I tried to use the script to return the user to the previous page by clicking the link, and it did work, however, it would return me to the previous website I visited and not just the previous page within my site. Is there a way to override it by changing the code or is the code definitive?
This was the code I had tried to use: Code: <a href="javascript:history.go(-1)">Back</a> Similar TutorialsI have a menu that lists all the categories and sub categories, when someone clicks a main category it opens up the sub cats for it. if someone clicks one of the sub cats the page open up to show all items in that category. But what I would like to find out is how do I get the menu to open up as it was so it shows the category and sub category open? Code: <!-- start show cat list --> <br><div style="font-weight: bold; font-size: 0.825em; padding: 0em 0em 0.3125em;">Select items by category</div> <ul class="catMenuItem"> <li><a style="background-image: url("images/triangle_down.gif");" href="#" class="titleTriangle"><span>cat1</span></a></li> <li style="display: block;" class="catSubMenu"> <a href="?cat=2">sub 1-2</a> (0)<br> <a href="?cat=7">sub 1-3</a> (2)<br> <a href="?cat=8">sub 1-4</a> (0)<br> <a href="?cat=9">sub 1-5</a> (0)<br> <br> </li> </ul> <ul class="catMenuItem"> <li><a href="#" class="titleTriangle"><span>cat2</span></a></li> <li style="display: none;" class="catSubMenu"> <a href="?cat=3">sub 2-1</a> (0)<br> <a href="?cat=4">sub 2-2</a> (0)<br> <a href="?cat=5">sub 2-3</a> (0)<br> <a href="?cat=6">sub 2-4</a> (1)<br> <br> </li> </ul> <ul class="catMenuItem"> <li><a href="#" class="titleTriangle"><span>cat3</span></a></li> <li style="display: none;" class="catSubMenu"> <br> </li> </ul> <ul class="catMenuItem"> <li><a href="#" class="titleTriangle"><span>cat4</span></a></li> <li style="display: none;" class="catSubMenu"> <br> </li> </ul> <ul class="catMenuItem"> <li><a href="#" class="titleTriangle"><span>cat5</span></a></li> <li style="display: none;" class="catSubMenu"> <br> </li> </ul> <script type="text/javascript"><!-- /* Categories Menu START */ var prevCat; function menu(newCat) { var mens; var anchors; if (prevCat) { mens = prevCat.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('li')[0]; anchors = mens.getElementsByTagName('a')[0].style.backgroundImage='url(images/triangle_right.gif)'; prevCat.style.display = 'none'; } if (newCat != prevCat) { mens = newCat.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('li')[0]; anchors = mens.getElementsByTagName('a')[0].style.backgroundImage='url(images/triangle_down.gif)'; newCat.style.display = 'block'; prevCat = newCat; } else { prevCat = null; } } onload = function() { var menus = document.getElementsByTagName('ul'); for (var a=0,x=menus.length; a<x; a++) { if (menus[a].className === 'catMenuItem') { menus[a].getElementsByTagName('li')[0].getElementsByTagName('a')[0].onclick = function() { menu(this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('li')[1]); } menus[a].getElementsByTagName('li')[1].style.display = 'none'; } } } /* Categories Menu END */ --></script> <!-- end show cat list --> The website I'm updating is peachbasketonline.com. I am not the original web designer. I'm trying to reach an install page that is located in the directory, but anytime I go to a page outside of the site navigation (i.e. part of site navigation: About Us works fine, versus a page outside of site navigation: peachbasketonline.com/anythingelse) it automatically takes you back to the home page. Is there enough info here for someone to tell me if javascript is doing this? I just don't know what I'm looking for. Evening folks I'm -very- green when it comes to Javascript, but I'm working my way up. The problem right now I'm running in to now is when trying to implement a website function that allows two buttons (previous, and next) to do their respective tasks. I can get the script to go forward and back, however when I jump to another page in the frame (this is all through iframes), when clicking either button, it will take me to the last page I had stopped on. A little hard to explain, but maybe seeing the code will give you a better idea. <script type="text/javascript"> var pNum=0; var maxPage=10; function next() { pNum++; if (pNum > maxPage) pNum=10; document.getElementById("frame").src="page"+pNum+".htm"; } function prev() { pNum--; if (pNum < 0) pNum=0; document.getElementById("frame").src="page"+pNum+".htm"; } </script> It's nothing fancy, but it's apparently keeping the last page it was on in memory instead of resetting itself, so when I go back to the start page it starts on page 0 and goes to page 10; right now I can stop on page 5, click a link to go back to the starting default page, and when using the 'next page' button it will start on 6 and go from there. Any help or advice would be appreciated. Hello all, I am currently working on a site for a friend and have reached a navigational problem I cannot figure out how to achieve... He has a list of products that link to relevant individual pages which also have next and previous buttons to browse all the product pages on the site (only 10 so no big deal). However, he wants to add additional lists that recommend products by category preference? So for example; 4 products may appeal to a particular category, but when you click the link to view one of the products shown the next and previous buttons scroll through the entire products pages! and not only the ones recommended?? IS it possible using Javascript to define which pages are linked to as next previous without having to create lots more html copies of content pages? I have a basic knowledge of Javascript but cannot find a workable answer or example using google. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance... Hi All, I am using a loop slider to scroll 4 pages. When I am on any page and click through the product on that. I go to the product but when I click the back button, it goes to the start of the slider rather then the page where I left it. How to go back in loop slider from a back button to the page where we left the scroller. Instead of going to the start of the scroller. It is annoying to go back again to start of the page and scroll all pages. Any help, Highly appreciated. Regards, Meenakshi. Hi Guys, I need to put previous/next navigation button images on a lot of slides and was wondering if javascript could do the following: Firstly say my slides increment as: slide1.html slide2.html slide3.html slide4.html If i am on slide 3 I'd like javascript to identify previous button as slide2.html and next button as slide4.html and so on Some loop/array code that does if filename = slide3.html then set button left(left.lpg)) url to slide2.html and button right(right.jpg) url to slide4.html array[0] = slide1.html array[1] = slide2.html ... opening as _self i.e no pop up. Thanks Hi everyone. New to javascript here.... I have a problem here. I know how to store a cookie and check a cookie... but i don't know how to calculate the time between current visit and previous visit... Example. I logged in @ 1pm and logged in again @ 3pm... It should a msg like "your last visit was 2 hours ago" Can any one enlighten me ? Thank you! Hi. Please help. I have a credit card donation page and what I wanted to do is after they click the submit button and transaction is successfult I wanted to capture the donation amount they enter from the donation page and show it to the next page. I know that is possible but I just don't know how to do it. I am new in Javascript and still consider as a baby. Can someone please help? Thanks in advance.

The code works as it is for the file upload, I just need to add something for the output, any suggestion? Edit: I just noticed that some previous part of the code is still the the part that changes the color of the button depending if the file is uploaded or not. Now I want those values to change depending on what file is uploaded. Hi, I've a Javascript function where i'm sending an return value. How do i capture this return value from HTML. My javascript func is as below: Code: function check() { var frm=document.forms.stream_selection sel_num = new Array(); Parr = new Array(); for(j=1;j<1000;j++) { if(frm[j] != null) { if(!frm[j].checked) { frm[0].checked=false } else { Parr.push(j); ParrStr=Parr.join(','); alert(Parr); } } } return(ParrStr); } My HTML call function is as below: Code: echo "<td><center><input name=\"sstreamname\" type=\"checkbox\" onclick=\"check():return true;\"></center></td></tr></font></center></tr></font></center>"; How do i get the value of ParrStr and transfer this to next form. I'm using PHP . Thanks, Ramki. Ok, guys. I'm new to JavaScript, so go easy. I'll be asking bunches of "dumb" questions for a while. 1st question, and the only one for now ... Say I have the following function: Code: function SwapValues(SwapVal1,SwapVal2) { TempSwapVal=SwapVal1; SwapVal1=SwapVal2; SwapVal2=TempSwapVal; } I don't care about the return value of the function itself, but I do need the new values of SwapVal1 and SwapVal2. In ASP when I do this, the values get returned. How do I get this to work in JS? I don't understand the logic of Break, Return False, Return True. It was never really covered in our college class, and I see everyone using it. I got an A in the class, if that 'proves' that I really tried to apply myself. NOTE: I understand what the function is doing. I just don't understand WHEN to use break, return false or return true if the the translator can determine the conditional statements. PHP Code: function submitForm(){ var ageSelected = false; for (var i=0; i<5; ++1){ if (document.forms[0].ageGroup[i].checked == true) { ageSelected = true; break; } } if (ageSelected == false){ window.alert("You must select your age group"); return false; } else return false; } if the the translator can determine the conditional statements, why not write it like this: PHP Code: function submitForm(){ var ageSelected = false; for (var i=0; i<5; ++1){ if (document.forms[0].ageGroup[i].checked == true) { ageSelected = true; break; // what's the point for the 'break'? Won't the rest of the code be ignored since it passed the first condition? } } if (ageSelected == false){ window.alert("You must select your age group"); return false; } // why not leave the last else out? is it just a 'safety' catch, in case something other than true or false is inputted? else return false; // what's the point? } Questions: Why use return true, if the translator knows it's ture? Why use "return false" if the translator knows it's false and the alert window has already gone up? why not use "break" to stop the code? Why use the "return false" at the end "else" statement? Hi all, Please keep in mind: this is the first code I have ever written -- much of it with help from this forum and the skeleton from other corners of the JS community. Thanks! But now for the problem... I'm developing am income tax calculator, and everything is going swell. Currently the user can type in their adjusted gross income (AGI), hit submit, and learn the amount of income tax they would pay, their tax rate, and their income after tax. I've played around with the events to get the submit button to work in FF, IE, Chrome and Safari -- and I've gotten the enter button to work before with some stock code, but here's the catch: when the user presses enter, i want the focus to leave the input box. I don't care where it goes (submit button, I suppose?) but i need it to leave the input field so the onfocus="clearText(this);" event can fire when they return to type in a new income. Any ideas? Thanks in advance. Code: <script language="javascript" type="text/javascript"> function TotalGrossPerYear() { var Calc = document.NetIncome; if (Calc.InputRad[0].checked) { if ((Calc.AGI.value > 500000)) { Bracket3(); } if ((Calc.AGI.value > 200000 ) && (Calc.AGI.value <= 500000)) { Bracket1(); } if ((Calc.AGI.value <= 200000)) { Bracket2(); } } else if (Calc.InputRad[1].checked) { if ((Calc.AGI.value > 1000000)) { Bracket3(); } if ((Calc.AGI.value > 400000 ) && (Calc.AGI.value <= 1000000)) { Bracket1(); } if ((Calc.AGI.value <= 400000)) { Bracket2(); } } } function Bracket1() { var Calc = document.NetIncome; if (Calc.InputRad[0].checked) { Calc.TaxableIncome.value = (parseFloat(Calc.AGI.value) - 200000) ; Calc.AmtDue.value = Math.round((parseFloat(Calc.TaxableIncome.value) * 0.05)) ; Calc.AmtLeft.value = (parseFloat(Calc.AGI.value) - parseFloat(Calc.AmtDue.value)) ; Calc.TaxRate.value = (parseFloat(Calc.AmtDue.value) / parseFloat(Calc.AGI.value) * 100).toFixed(2) + " %"; } else { if (Calc.InputRad[1].checked) { Calc.TaxableIncome.value = (parseFloat(Calc.AGI.value) - 400000) ; Calc.AmtDue.value = Math.round((parseFloat(Calc.TaxableIncome.value) * .05)) ; Calc.AmtLeft.value = (parseFloat(Calc.AGI.value) - parseFloat(Calc.AmtDue.value)) ; Calc.TaxRate.value = (parseFloat(Calc.AmtDue.value) / parseFloat(Calc.AGI.value) * 100).toFixed(2) + " %"; } } } function Bracket2() { var Calc = document.NetIncome; if (Calc.InputRad[0].checked) { Calc.TaxableIncome.value = 0 ; Calc.AmtDue.value = Math.round((parseFloat(Calc.TaxableIncome.value) * 0.05)) ; Calc.AmtLeft.value = (parseFloat(Calc.AGI.value) - parseFloat(Calc.AmtDue.value)) ; Calc.TaxRate.value = (parseFloat(Calc.AmtDue.value) / parseFloat(Calc.AGI.value) * 100).toFixed(2) + " %"; } else { if (Calc.InputRad[1].checked) { Calc.TaxableIncome.value = 0 ; Calc.AmtDue.value = Math.round((parseFloat(Calc.TaxableIncome.value) * 0.05)) ; Calc.AmtLeft.value = (parseFloat(Calc.AGI.value) - parseFloat(Calc.AmtDue.value)) ; Calc.TaxRate.value = (parseFloat(Calc.AmtDue.value) / parseFloat(Calc.AGI.value) * 100).toFixed(2) + " %"; } } } function Bracket3() { var Calc = document.NetIncome; if (Calc.InputRad[0].checked) { Calc.TaxableIncome.value = (parseFloat(Calc.AGI.value) - 200000) ; Calc.AmtDue.value = Math.round((parseFloat(Calc.TaxableIncome.value) - 300000) * 0.09) + (300000 * 0.05) ; Calc.AmtLeft.value = (parseFloat(Calc.AGI.value) - parseFloat(Calc.AmtDue.value)) ; Calc.TaxRate.value = (parseFloat(Calc.AmtDue.value) / parseFloat(Calc.AGI.value) * 100).toFixed(2) + " %"; } else { if (Calc.InputRad[1].checked) { Calc.TaxableIncome.value = (parseFloat(Calc.AGI.value) - 400000) ; Calc.AmtDue.value = Math.round((parseFloat(Calc.TaxableIncome.value) - 600000) * .09) + (600000 * 0.05) ; Calc.AmtLeft.value = (parseFloat(Calc.AGI.value) - parseFloat(Calc.AmtDue.value)) ; Calc.TaxRate.value = (parseFloat(Calc.AmtDue.value) / parseFloat(Calc.AGI.value) * 100).toFixed(2) + " %"; } } } function Couple() { var Calc = document.NetIncome; Calc.AGI.value = ""; Calc.TaxableIncome.value = "--------"; Calc.AmtDue.value = "--------"; Calc.AmtLeft.value = "--------"; Calc.TaxRate.value = "--------"; } function Individual() { var Calc = document.NetIncome; Calc.AGI.value = ""; Calc.TaxableIncome.value = "--------"; Calc.AmtDue.value = "--------"; Calc.AmtLeft.value = "--------"; Calc.TaxRate.value = "--------"; } function clearText(thefield){ if (thefield.value==thefield.value) thefield.value = "" } </script> </head> and the html...
