JavaScript - Stop Multiple Onmouseover Firing Continuously

hi,

please ignore this thread..it is a duplicate of one already active.

MODS please delete.

apologies for my mistake.

Hi,

Im a complete newbie to javascript and I've basically copied and pasted the javascript I found here to use on my site. Its an onMouseOver slideshow:

http://www.javascriptkit.com/script/...ifferent.shtml

to use on my site.

Basically, my problem is how do I add a second, separate image in a different location on the web page, associated with this script?


If I post <a href="javascript:warp()"><img src="myimage" name="targetimage" border=0></a> in two different locations, which is the script for the image, the script stops working, but having it once makes it work. So how do I add two different image locations?

Can someone please help me here? I just want to add more images in a different location. ie have image location 1, and image location 2.

Thanks in advance

Script Below:


Code:

<script>

function changeimage(towhat,url){
if (document.images){
document.images.targetimage.src=towhat.src
gotolink=url
}
}
function warp(){
window.location=gotolink1
}
</script>
<script language="JavaScript1.1">
var myimages=new Array()
var gotolink="#"

function preloadimages(){
for (i=0;i<preloadimages.arguments.length;i++){
myimages[i]=new Image()
myimages[i].src=preloadimages.arguments[i]
}
}


preloadimages(my images here)

</script>

<a href="creativewriting.html" onMouseover="changeimage(myimages[1],this.href)">Creative Writing</a><br>

For the Image:

<a href="javascript:warp()"><img src="myimage" name="targetimage" border=0></a>

I am very new to javascript and cannot find any info anywhere regarding the following problem:

On my website I have around 100 pages containing an action form. Occasionally it is necessary to cancel the action throughout the 100 pages which is very time-consuming. Then the action has to be reinstated once again for all the 100+ pages. I thought the solution would be to use javascript to change the action from a .js file which would mean only one page, the .js file, would require alteration:

The action that appears on all 100+ pages several times that I am trying to change or stop happening by overwriting the "form action":

<form action="http://www.changenamecart.com/" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="userid" value="1234567">
<input type="hidden" name="return" value="http://www.thehomepage.co.uk/index.htm">
<input type="image" src="http://www.changenamecart.com/images/pic.gif">
</form>


My efforts to date a

The change .js file:

function change()
{
var myChange = form action;

if(myChange == form action){
document.write("form xction");
}
}


The html file in the header:

<script src="change.js" type="text/javascript"></script>


I am afraid that my knowledge of programming is very small and I would welcome any help to solve this problem.

How can I write a JavaScript for the following requirement. I have to go to a link say Quote:
www.google.com
and refresh it for every 5 seconds continuously.

Thanks

I have a slideshow on a test page at this link. I want to change it so that the slides loop rather than getting to the end and rewinding back to slide one. Can I alter the code (below) or would it be better to just find another code?

Code:

<script type="text/javascript">
	$(document).ready(function() {
		var currentPosition = 0;
var slideWidth = 1024;
var slides = $('.slide');
var numberOfSlides = slides.length;
var speed = 3000;

		
		slideShowInterval = setInterval(changePosition, speed);
		
		slides.wrapAll('<div id="slidesHolder"></div>')
		
		slides.css({ 'float' : 'left' });
		
		$('#slidesHolder').css('width', slideWidth * numberOfSlides);
		
		
		function changePosition() {
			if(currentPosition == numberOfSlides - 1) {
				currentPosition = 0;
			} else {
				currentPosition++;
			}
			moveSlide();
		}
		
		
		function moveSlide() {
				$('#slidesHolder')
				  .animate({'marginLeft' : slideWidth*(-currentPosition)});
		}

	});</script>

I'm having some problem with this DHTML app. The problem is that when i click on an image button, nothing happens.
I have verified that the DOM event handlers are loaded. However, when i click on the images (buttons), nothing happens

I am trying to do a page redirect upon timer completes counting down to 0 from 5 seconds. I used a script from the internet, but so far I cant get to work.

I have also in the file some php and html. the php is just to echo out some text and the html is doing the redirect via a meta tag that someone suggested.

Code:

<html>
<head>



</head>
<body>




<?php

include_once('config.php');
echo $_SESSION['flash']['notice'].'<br/><br/>';

echo 'you will be automatically redirected in a few seconds.';

?>

// 
 var milisec=0 
 var seconds=5
 document.counter.d2.value='5' 

function display(){ 
 if (milisec<=0){ 
    milisec=9 
    seconds-=1 
 }
 if (seconds==0){ 
    document.write(<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="5;url=page.php">)
 } 

display()

My firefox web developer is telling it has a javascript error of:

unexpected end of xml source.

the funny thing is I dont have any xml in it.

I appreciate any help in the matter.

This is my class doucmnet ::
PHP Code:
XMLXHttpRequest = function(name){
    this._handle = new XMLHttpRequest();
    this._method = '';
    this._url = '';
    this.readyState = 0;
    this.responseBody  = '';
    this.responseText = '';
    this.responseXML = '';
    this.status = 0;
    this.statusText = '';
    this.className = name;
    this.onreadystatechange = function(){}
    this.ontimeout = function(){}
    this.abort = function(){
        this._handle.abort();
    }
    this.getAllResponceHeaders = function(){
        return this._handle.getAllResponceHaders;
    }
    this.getResponceHeader = function(bstrHeader){
        return this._handle.getResponceHeader(bstrHeader);
    }
    this._readyStateUpdate = function(){
        if(typeof(name) !== "undefined"){ name = this.className; }
        eval(""+name+".onreadystatechange();");
        eval(""+name+".readyState = "+name+"._handle.readyState;");
        eval(""+name+".status = "+name+"._handle.status;");
        eval(""+name+".statusText = "+name+"._handle.statusText;");
        eval(""+name+".responseText = "+name+"._handle.responseText;");
        eval(""+name+".responseBody = "+name+"._handle.responseBody;");
        eval(""+name+".responseXML = "+name+"._handle.responseXML;");
    }
    this.open = function(sMethod, sUrl){
        this._readyStateUpdate();
        this._handle.onreadystatechange = this._readyStateUpdate;
        this._handle.ontimeout = this.ontimeout();
        this._url = sUrl;
        this._method = sMethod;
    }
    this.send = function(data){
        this._handle.open("GET", "xml.php?url="+ this._url + "&method=" + this._method + "&data=" + urlencode(data));
        this._handle.send(null);
    }
    this.setRequstHeader = function(sName, sValue){
        return this._handle.setRequestHeader(sName, sValue);
    }
} 


What this is supposed to do ::
This is a class that is supposed to allow CrossDomain AJAX(XMLXHttpRequest) in the exact same way the XMLHttpRequest dose all the same handlers other then it uses a php file to get all the data now the PHP File works perfectly post and GET - Without cURL.
Now most of the class works it can send the data("POST" or "GET") cross domain the only problem seems to be firing the onreadystatechange
PHP Code:
this.open = function(sMethod, sUrl){
        this._readyStateUpdate();
        this._handle.onreadystatechange = this._readyStateUpdate;
        this._handle.ontimeout = this.ontimeout();
        this._url = sUrl;
        this._method = sMethod;

As you can see i have its set to fire the _readyStateUpdate on the onreadystatechange so why is it not fireing,
This is tested in FireFox 3.5, ComitBird(Firefox 3.2 Core), Google Chrome and IE and it dose not work in all of them as i know there is a bug with FireFox 3.5 and Firebug wich im a developer i have got it but thats why im testing in GG and IE

Any help would be greatly appreciated

I have an input text with an onchange event that calls a function in which an alert box displays. I also have a button whose onclick calls a different function. If the user makes a change in the input text and immediately clicks the button, the onchange event fires, displaying the alert box, but the code in the function for the onclick of the button doesn't execute. I've read that this has something to do with event bubbling, but I haven't seen any solutions. Is there a solution? Is it even possible?

hi,
i have aded window unload event handler to my code. my page calls some function that takes few secs and page then loads in 5-6 secs. while ths page is loading, if user clicks 'x' on browser window, then code inside unload event handler doesnt get executed. if user waits for page to be loaded fully and hten clicks 'x', then unload event handler gets executed. but i want if during loading user decides to click 'x' button, then also unload handler shold get exucted. i am pasting a sample code that simulates my situation:

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" >
<head>
<title>Untitled Page</title>
<script type="text/javascript">
function unloadPage() {
alert('unloaded page');
}
function pauseJS(timeInMilliS) {
var date = new Date();
var curDate = null;
do {
curDate = new Date();
}while(curDate-date < timeInMilliS);
}
</script>
</head>
<body onload="pauseJS(6000)" onunload="unloadPage()">
<p>Test Page</p>
</body>
</html>

I am using 2 ajax functions in the program. One for login and one for logout.
The login one is showUser which is working correctly by using the form onsubmit method, however the logout button (IN BOLD) onclick method is not working. Pls help.


Code:

<form  onsubmit="showUser(document.getElementById('uid').value,document.getElementById('pass').value);return false;" >
  <div id="txt"><b>Enter your username </b>
    <input type="text" name= "username" id="uid">
    <br>
  <b>Enter your password</b> <input type="password" name="pass" id="pass">
  <br></div>
  <div id="txt1" style="display : none">help</div>
  <input type="submit" value="Login" /> 
 <input type="button" onclick="logout(document.getElementById('uid').value); return false; " name="logout" value="Logout" />
 <input type="button" value="Register" class="register"/>
</form>

I have a Google Maps JScript that does two things - first it figures out the user's geolocation and then provides directions between two points. The problem occurs in that the geolocation takes a second to run, so the second function has initialLocation as an undefined variable. I need this variable to reflect the value used in the earlier geolocation (which works) in the instance

'var start = initialLocation'.

Any suggestions? A way to make the second function wait until the first has completed?

Code:

<script type="text/javascript">
  
var initialLocation;
var siberia = new google.maps.LatLng(60, 105);
var newyork = new google.maps.LatLng(32.77, -79.92);
var browserSupportFlag =  new Boolean();
var map;
var infowindow = new google.maps.InfoWindow();

  



function handleNoGeolocation(errorFlag) {
  if (errorFlag == true) {
    initialLocation = newyork;
    contentString = "Error: The Geolocation service failed.";
  } else {
    initialLocation = siberia;
    contentString = "Error: Your browser doesn't support geolocation. Are you in Siberia?";
  }
  map.setCenter(initialLocation);
  infowindow.setContent(contentString);
  infowindow.setPosition(initialLocation);
  infowindow.open(map);
}



var directionDisplay;
  var directionsService = new google.maps.DirectionsService();


  var map;
  function initialize() {

  // Try W3C Geolocation method (Preferred)
  if(navigator.geolocation) {
    browserSupportFlag = true;
    navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(function(position) {
      initialLocation = new google.maps.LatLng(position.coords.latitude,position.coords.longitude);
      
contentString = "You are here! (w3c)";
      map.setCenter(initialLocation);
      infowindow.setContent(contentString);
      infowindow.setPosition(initialLocation);
      infowindow.open(map);





    }, function() {
      handleNoGeolocation(browserSupportFlag);
    });
  } else if (google.gears) {
    // Try Google Gears Geolocation
    browserSupportFlag = true;
    var geo = google.gears.factory.create('beta.geolocation');
    geo.getCurrentPosition(function(position) {
      initialLocation = new google.maps.LatLng(position.latitude,position.longitude);
      contentString = "You are here! (gears)";
      map.setCenter(initialLocation);
      infowindow.setContent(contentString);
      infowindow.setPosition(initialLocation);
      infowindow.open(map);





    }, function() {
      handleNoGeolocation(browserSupportFlag);
    });
  } else {
    // Browser doesn't support Geolocation
    browserSupportFlag = false;
    handleNoGeolocation(browserSupportFlag);
  }



    directionsDisplay = new google.maps.DirectionsRenderer();

    var myOptions = {
      zoom: 16,
      
      mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
    }
    map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map_canvas"), myOptions);

directionsDisplay.setMap(map);


alert(initialLocation);
var start = initialLocation;
    var end = '<?php echo $address;?>';
    var request = {
        origin:start, 
        destination:end,
        travelMode: google.maps.DirectionsTravelMode.DRIVING
    };
    directionsService.route(request, function(response, status) {
      if (status == google.maps.DirectionsStatus.OK) {
        directionsDisplay.setDirections(response);
      }
    });



  }

On my site we have image galleries that pop up over top of the page in a higher z-index and position:fixed, and another div between the gallery and background with opacity set to about 85%. The image gallery div has a close button, and I was asked to make the gallery also close by pressing ESC, so I added this:

igevt=function(evt){checkclosegal(evt)}
window.addEventListener('keypress',igevt, false)

and checkclosegal:

function checkclosegal(evt)
{

if(evt.keyCode==27)
{
closebgeagal()
window.removeEventListener('keypress',igevt, false)
}

}


This works perfectly in Firefox and Opera, but Chrome and Safari don't fire the event (not worried about ie right now - I know it uses attachEvent). Could it have something to do with the gallery being in a higher z-index? Please help, thanks!

Hi All,

I have a script that is called by the onchange event on my text field (it compares the date entered into the field and issues an alert if the date is earlier than the current date). This worked great on my data entry form but I also want to use the same script in my update form. In the update form the text field is already receiving a value via php:

Code:

<input name="DateNeeded" type="text" class="formField" id="DateNeeded" onchange="checkDate(this)" value="<?php echo $row_rstRequestDetails['DateNeeded']; ?>" />

and this is causing my onchange event to fire when the page is loaded. Is there a way to suppress the onchange event for the initial page load?

Thanks,

Ken

So I am adding a little simple clean up function when users paste into an iframe with design mode on.

I have no problems with firing this function with Firefox

Code:

getElementById('add_article').contentWindow.document.addEventListener('paste', iFrameClean, true);

but for the life of me I cant get it to fire in Ie I have tried attachEvent in IE only

Code:

getElementById('add_article').attachEvent('onpaste', iFrameClean); //iframe onpaste

add an onpaste to the body of the iframe

Code:

onpaste="setTimeout(function(){iFrameClean();},100);"

even the onPaste in the iframes body doesnt fire in IE!!!

I have had a good look around but no one seems to have an answer on this.

Also please note I have successfully attached the onblur and onfocus events to this iframe in IE and firefox

It would be really handy as people are copying html into the iframes.
I have a html cleaner firing when they submit but I want the text to be cleaned when/if they paste in.
