JavaScript - How To Write Text/integer From A Function
Hi, I was hoping you could help me, I was wanting to write text to the screen but without re-writing the whole screen (e.g. document.write();. I wish to take text and put it in a function, modify it, then display it.
So far I have: Code: <script type = "text/javascript"> function calculate(text){ var x = "10.0"; var gpa = text.replace(/0.0/g,x); document.getElementById("text").innerText=gpa; } </script> <p id = text >Your Grade Point Average (GPA) is: 0.0</p> <button type="button" onclick="calculate(text)">Calculate</button> Your help would be really appreciated Similar TutorialsHello: I have two input boxes on a form which receive the first and last name of a user. I want to be able to use charAt() to get the first letter in each box and pass it to a third box on the same form. Is this doable? May I request some help? I was thinking something like the function below would be the starting point --I stand correct, as it is not working. Code: <script type=\"text/javascript\"> var str=\"Mossa\"; <!--document.write(str.charAt(0));--> document.write('<INPUT TYPE=text size=2 VALUE=\"str.charAt(0);\">'); var str=\"Barandao\"; document.write('<INPUT TYPE=text VALUE=\"str.charAt(0)\">'); <!--document.write(str.charAt(0));--> </script> Any thoughts! Mossa Another homework assignment that I can't quite seem to get to work... I've been asked to do the following using javascript: -Create a function named randInt() with one parameter of "size". Declare a variable named "rNum" equal to a random integer between 1 and the value of the size variable. Return the value of the "rNum" varialbe from the function. -Create a function named getQuote() with one parameter anemd "qNum". The function should create an array named mtQuotes with five quotes; there should be no quote for the array index "0". Return the value of the mtQuotes array for the qNum index. - In the div element of "quotes" insert a script with the following commands: Declare a variable named "randValue" which is euqal to a random integer between 1 and 5 (use the randInt() function). Declare a variable named "quoteText" containing the quote whose array index value is equal to randValue. Write the value of quoteText to the web page. Here is what I have...it returns undefined. thanks. Code: <html> <head> <script type="text/javascript"> function randInt(size) { var rNum=Math.ceil(Math.random()*5); return(rNum); } </script> <script type="text/javascript"> function getQuote(qNum); var mtQuotes = new Array(); mtQuotes[0] = ""; mtQuotes[1] = "I smoke in moderation, only one cigar at a time."; mtQuotes[2] = "Be careful of reading health books, you might die of a misprint."; mtQuotes[3] = "Man is the only animal that blushes or needs to."; mtQuotes[4] = "Clothes make the man. Naked people have little or no influence on society."; mtQuotes[5] = "One of the most striking differences between a cat and a lie is that a cat has only nine lives."; return mtQuotes[qNum]; </script> </head> <body> <div id="quotes"> <script type="text/javascript"> var randValue=randInt(5); var quoteText=getQuote(randValue); document.write(quoteText); </script> </div> So Im trying to make it so my button writes in one box when I click it one time, another when I click it a second, etc, but when I click it once, it writes in all boxes. Why is this?

Hi All, I have a problem in which I try to execute a funcition via a document.write() and it throws an "object expected" error. Overall I am making an interface for MS ACCESS .mdb table via ADODB using JavaScript and I want to be able to click on a link and the id is used to delete that entry. Code: My function is: Code: function deleteRecord(del) { var adoConn = new ActiveXObject("ADODB.Connection"); var adoRS = new ActiveXObject("ADODB.Recordset"); adoConn.Open("Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source = {path to }knowBA.mdb'"); adoRS.Open("Select * From know where ID="+ del, adoConn, 1, 3); adoRS.Delete; adoRS.Close(); adoConn.Close(); } The code using the funcition is - oh and the numric KEY is rs(0) : Code: if(!rs.bof) { document.write("<table width='700' border='1' align='center' cellpadding='2' cellspacing='0' bgcolor='#FFFFFF'>"); rs.MoveFirst() while(!rs.eof) { document.write("<tr><td><div align='center'><strong>"+rs(1)+"</strong></div>"); document.write("<strong>Keyword(s):</strong> "+rs(3)); document.write("<br><strong>Entry:</strong> " +rs(2)+" "); document.write("<A HREF='javascript:onClick=("+"eval(deleteRecord(" +rs(0)+"))"+")'>delete</A> "); document.write("</td></tr>"); cnt=cnt+1; rs.MoveNext() } document.write("</table></form>"); } if (cnt==0){ alert ("Sorry, there are no results on that search.");} rs.close() cn.Close(); } </script> Thanks for any hints on how to accomplish this! write a function that when called will ask the user for a series of numbers to be entered 1 at a time and then calculates their sum,their average,and their average rounded up then output the results. for example the average of a series of numbers is found by adding the numbers together and dividing by the amount of numbers entered (so the average of 2,5,1 and 7 is equal to (2+5+1+7)/4=15/4=3.75). Is there a javascript code so that you can disable a textarea but parts of the page can still add to the textarea if your peter i mean about the other javascripts you told me. Sorry if this is confusing just ask me and i will rewrite it
Is there any possibility to write a text file using Chrome/FF? On the other words, writing a text file w/o using ActiveX. Thank you.
Hi, New to JS. Have ordered some new books, but need to get somethings going in the mean time. What I wanted to do is to link to a new page having a date range input in the form of 6 text boxes, 2 sets of mm-dd-yy, from and to, where the upon loading the page box 1 of the from would auto focus and then auto tab and then post where php could take over on the server side. Setting up the form and the lay out, no problem. Auto focusing went just like expected using the following code, included because on the next step everything fell apart. [/CODE] <script type="text/javascript" > window.onload=function() { document.getElementById("input1").focus(); } </script> [/CODE] So then the wheels came off and in response, began to simplify what was trying to be done to find where the issues were. As far as I can get working is: Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> <html> <head> <script type="text/javascript" > window.onload=function() { document.getElementById("input1").focus(); } </script> <script type="text/javascript" > function myFunc() { alert("is this working"); } </script> </head> <body> <input id="input1" name="input1" type="text" onkeyup="myFunc()" maxlength="2" value="type a No." /> </body> </html> First issue with this: When I first get to the page everything is just as ordered. The focus is on the text box and the default value is "type a No." When I press a key onkeyup, I bring up the alert box with "is this working" in it. But when I refresh the page with the refresh button, after clicking the "ok" on the alert box, the character that was typed in is still displayed. If I use the link to the page, or the URL from the address bar, then the page reloads properly with the default value, "type a No". Question 1: How do you get the default textbox value using the refresh button as apposed to reloading the page using a link or from the address bar? Using Firefox 8.0 Second and more important at the moment: If I change the script to pass an argument to the function the script crashes. It does not pull up an alert box and freezes. My guess is that I'm doing something wrong on a concept level. NOTE: changed the default value of the text box to " ". Looked like to me there was an issue with the size specification and the default string length as you could only enter in a key stroke by highlighting the text and replacing it Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> <html> <head> <script type="text/javascript" > window.onload=function() { document.getElementById("input1").focus(); } </script> <script type="text/javascript" > function myFunc(awe) { alert(awe); } </script> </head> <body> <input id="input1" name="input1" type="text" onkeyup="myFunc("123")" maxlength="2" value="" /> </body> </html> Question 2: can someone straighten me out with this? Hi there, i have one script which is supposed to pop up a new win and after it does write a piece of text in it. This text comes from inside the HTML area: Code: (script) function popupwin(whichOne) { var width = 450; var height = 490; var left = parseInt((screen.availWidth/2) - (width/2)); var top = parseInt((screen.availHeight/2) - (height/2)); var windowFeatures = "width=" + width + ",height=" + height + ",status=no,resizable=no,location=no,titlebar=no,left=" + left + ",top=" + top + "screenX=" + left + ",screenY=" + top; newwin = window.open("spSelect.html","spSelect",windowFeatures); spSelect.document.whichOne.value = whichOne; } (calling part in html) <a href="javascript: popupwin(Souvlaki);"><img src="images/orderbutton.gif" width="100" height="20" border="0"></a> (new win place where text is supposed to appear) <input name="whichOne" readonly="readonly" type="text" class="textfield"> I need javascript to read height of an static multiline text and write height value into the var value? Is it possible? Hi, I have an idea for putting news articles on my phone to read later when I have time. I'd like to be able to right-click the text of an article and choose "Send to Phone Queue." When I've got a few articles in the queue, I'd like to be able to bluetooth the file to my phone. I know some HMTL and CSS, but I'm very much a novice when it comes to JavaScript. I'm thinking that I probably can't even do a lot of this with JS because of it's limitations (i.e. writing to a file). Will I need to use PHP or Java for writing/bluetoothing the file? I was playing around with extracting the body-text of an article from FoxNews.com. I didn't get very far but you can see where I'm going with it. I welcome any comments, criticisms, etc. Thanks for anything you say, even shooting this down as unrealistic. Code: function getBodyText() { var divList = document.getElementsByTagName('div'); for ( i=0; i<=divList.length; i++) { if (divList[i].getAttribute("class") == "entry-content KonaBody") { . . . I would like to know how to do things. 1. I would like to know how i would code a javascript so if i edit the text inside of either a certain div or in the javascript document itself (which ever would work, would like to have it take the text from a div but not too picky) and then have it write that text in other parts of the same page and other pages by like putting a javascript code in it's place or however you would do it. Basically if i write "hello world" in the div/javascript document, it will write "hell world" in multiple places just from me editing that one part. ok so help with this would be awsome. My second thing. 2. I would like to take and use some javascript function, such as document.write or what ever to do pretty much the same thing as my first thing as my first problem, but with a div, for like a navigation bar or etc. So any help would be greatly appreciated! =) THANKS! I heard there is something called XMLHttpRequest that is compatible to all browsers. What does that actually do? Is there something to do with Javascript? Thank you.
Hello, I use a iplocator api, which is javascript and gives out the city name, country and zipcode output PHP Code: <script language="JavaScript" src="http://www.somesite.com/somefile.js?key=apikey"></script> <script language="JavaScript"> <!-- document.write(ip2location_isp() + ', ' + ip2location_city() + ', ' + ip2location_zip_code() + ', ' + ip2location_net_speed()); //--> </script> my question or where i need help is that, i would like to output each of those as a hidden text field, so later i can store into mysq database with POST method from the hidden field. thank you in advance for your time n help ok so Code: document.write("Goodbye!"); works but I put ^ that inside a function Code: function SayHello () ( document.write("Goodbye!"); ) and it stops working? I know the function call works because when I place some code to display an image in SayHello function, it displays the image. Frustrated by the fact that you don't have the integer division operator in JavaScript? Here's a surprisingly little known method: parseInt(19/4) = 4 Now when a VBguru or vbscripter says "ha ha, I can integer divide and you can't!" You now know better. Can someone point me in the right direction for using Javascript to increase a number over time without refreshing the page? I also need it to continually go up, and not start at 0 on every refresh. Is this possible? Blockis Hi all, this is my first post to this great useful forum. I have a javascript 2d array [x,y] that contains integer values like this: [0,0], [0,1], [0,2], [0,3], [1,0], [1,1], [1,2], [2,0], [2,1], [2,2], [0,-1], [0,-2], [0,-3], [1,-1], [1,-2], [2,-3] my question is how to get the max,min y value for each x. for the sample above it should give me another array with the following results [0,3],[0,-3],[1,2],[1,-2],[2,2],[2,-3] your help is highly appreciated Regards Omran |
