JavaScript - Sorting An Element Of An Array
What I need help with is sorting the [0] of my array. I need it to sort so that if the user puts in his last name, whether its uppercase or lowercase (Adams, adams), it will sort through the list of students I add, and put them in an alphabetic order i.e adams, Adams, cook, Douglas....and so on. Here is the code that I have below for just sorting by last name, which will seperate the lowercase entries from the uppercase entries. That would be the opposite of what I want. I had it sorted so that it would sort the [o], which is where the last name value is located. Any thoughtful help would be appreciated.
Code: function Last_names( s1, s2 ) { if ( s1[0] > s2[0] ) return 1; return 0; } function sortLast(form) { StudentsLists.sort( Last_names ); windows(form);//calling the windows function each time the sortLast function is called } Similar TutorialsSo, I'm using code like the following and getting errors: result = a list of cars with each property separated by ',' and each car separated by '|' This code creates and populates the array (seems to work) Code: var carList = new Array(); var cars = new Array(); var properties = new Array(); cars = result.split("|"); for(var i=0; i<cars.length;i++){ properties = cars[i].split(","); carlist[carlist.length++] = new car(items[0],items[1],items[2]); function car(id,make,model){ carID = id; carMake = make; carModel = model; } Later, I want to sort the array and call it like this: carList.sort(carSort); here's the sort code Code: function carSort(a, b){ var x = a.carMake.toLowerCase(); var y = b.carMake.toLowerCase(); return ((x < y) ? -1 : ((x > y) ? 1 : 0)); } I get the error that "a.carMake does not exist" (in firebug). What am I doing wrong? I am trying to make an addition to a .js plugin for a wiki. Currently it does not support sorting my IP address. So far I have created the below code which does more than the script initially did, but is still not sorting 100% correctly. Any tips? Code: sort_ipaddr: function(a,b){ aa = a[0].split(".",4); bb = b[0].split(".",4); var counti = 0; for (var i=0; i<4; i++) { if (parseInt(parseFloat(aa[i])) == parseInt(parseFloat(bb[i]))){} if (parseInt(parseFloat(aa[i])) < parseInt(parseFloat(bb[i]))){counti--} if (parseInt(parseFloat(aa[i])) > parseInt(parseFloat(bb[i]))){counti++} } return counti; }, EDIT I've also tried this which is closer but still not there. Code: sort_ipaddr: function(a,b){ aa = a[0].split(".",4); bb = b[0].split(".",4); var resulta = (aa[3]+(aa[2]*256)+(aa[1]*256*256)+(aa[0]*256*256*256)); var resultb = (bb[3]+(bb[2]*256)+(bb[1]*256*256)+(bb[0]*256*256*256)); return resulta-resultb; }, This results in a list like so: 10.1.15.22 10.1.16.22 10.1.15.23 10.1.15.24 10.1.16.24 10.1.15.25 I am trying to sort an array of strings based on the location of a string called "this.oText.value" inside an array of strings called "aList." If "this.oText.value" comes earlier in an entry in aList (call it "a") than another entry "b", I want "a" to appear before "b". Clearly, there is something very wrong with my code. It really isn't doing anything as of right now. Code: aList.sort(sortArray); function sortArray(a,b) { if(a.toLowerCase().indexOf(this.oText.value.toLowerCase()) < b.toLowerCase().indexOf(this.oText.value.toLowerCase())) return 1; else if(a.toLowerCase().indexOf(this.oText.value.toLowerCase()) > b.toLowerCase().indexOf(this.oText.value.toLowerCase())) return -1; else return 0; } Hi All. I have a dynamic Coldfusion form which adds multiple addresses which holds fields like Town, Postcode, ResidentFromDate, ResidentToDate... and on click of the save button I have a script function that runs which I am trying add all the elements of this form into an array and then sort by ResidentFromDate and output the results... Here is what I have at the minute but my sort does not seem to be working and is throwing out results in the following order (10/2006, 01/2005, 08/2006, 01/2007) and that is clearing not in descending order... If someone could take a look at my script and tell me what is wrong I would be much appreciated (see below) * I seem to be getting results and it is just not sorting correctly, so my theory is something is up with the part where I am calling addresses.sort. Code: var dates = { convert:function(d) { // Converts the date in d to a date-object. The input can be: // a date object: returned without modification // an array : Interpreted as [year,month,day]. NOTE: month is 0-11. // a number : Interpreted as number of milliseconds // since 1 Jan 1970 (a timestamp) // a string : Any format supported by the javascript engine, like // "YYYY/MM/DD", "MM/DD/YYYY", "Jan 31 2009" etc. // an object : Interpreted as an object with year, month and date // attributes. **NOTE** month is 0-11. return ( d.constructor === Date ? d : d.constructor === Array ? new Date(d[0],d[1],d[2]) : d.constructor === Number ? new Date(d) : d.constructor === String ? new Date(d) : typeof d === "object" ? new Date(d.year,d.month,d.date) : NaN ); }, compa function(a,b) { // Compare two dates (could be of any type supported by the convert // function above) and returns: // -1 : if a < b // 0 : if a = b // 1 : if a > b // NaN : if a or b is an illegal date // NOTE: The code inside isFinite does an assignment (=). return ( isFinite(a=this.convert(a).valueOf()) && isFinite(b=this.convert(b).valueOf()) ? (a>b)-(a<b) : NaN ); }, inRange:function(d,start,end) { // Checks if date in d is between dates in start and end. // Returns a boolean or NaN: // true : if d is between start and end (inclusive) // false : if d is before start or after end // NaN : if one or more of the dates is illegal. // NOTE: The code inside isFinite does an assignment (=). return ( isFinite(d=this.convert(d).valueOf()) && isFinite(start=this.convert(start).valueOf()) && isFinite(end=this.convert(end).valueOf()) ? start <= d && d <= end : NaN ); } } // define array var addresses = []; // if atAddrSince is greater than 5 years from today if (atAddrSince > addrFromValidate) { // loop round each previous address for (i=1;i<=maxID;i++) { var addrPart = []; if (eval('document.fmAddPrevAddr.address1'+i)) { var address1 = eval('document.fmAddPrevAddr.address1'+i+'.value'); var town = eval('document.fmAddPrevAddr.town'+i+'.value'); var country = eval('document.fmAddPrevAddr.country'+i+'.value'); var postcode = eval('document.fmAddPrevAddr.postcode'+i+'.value'); var residentfrom = eval('document.fmAddPrevAddr.ataddrsince'+i+'.value'); var residentto = eval('document.fmAddPrevAddr.ataddrto'+i+'.value'); // insert into array addrPart[0]=address1; addrPart[1]=town; addrPart[2]=country; addrPart[3]=postcode; addrPart[4]=residentfromdate; addrPart[5]=residenttodate; addresses.push(addrPart); } } addresses.sort(sortfunction) function sortfunction(a, b) { if(dates.compare(a[4],b[4]) == -1) { return true; } else { return false; } } for (var v=0;v<addresses.length;v++) { var addresses1 = addresses[v]; alert(addresses1[4]); } } Many Thanks, George Code: var myarray2=[25, 8, 7, 41]; myarray2.sort(function(a,b){return a - b}) I have tried this code and it works. What I don't understand is, how does array understand which value should be taken as "a" and "b" ? How does javascript understand what is to be done with values, if it is not specified by coding logic ? Is there some kind of in-built functionality ? How is that functionality triggered ? Do I not require further coding as Code: for(i=0; i<myarray2.length; i++){ j=i+1; for((myarray2[i]-myarray2[j])>0){ var a = myarray2[i]; myarray2[i] = myarray2[i+1]; myarray2[i+1] = a; j=j+1;} } and then run two loops for two comparing two values ? Thanks Hi everyone I'm having a hard time, wrapping my head around an array sort+combine function. I have an array which would look somewhat (these are simplified numbers) like this Code: TestArray = [ ["222222","1"], ["222222","1"], ["222222","1"], ["333333","1"] ["111111","1"], ["000000","2"], ["111111","2"], ["111111","2"], ["222222","20"], ]; I got it as far as to be sorted like this: Code: SortedArray = [ ["000000","2"], ["111111","1"], ["111111","2"], ["111111","2"], ["222222","1"], ["222222","1"], ["222222","20"], ["222222","1"], ["333333","1"] ]; And from there to this: Code: BadlyMergedArray = [ ["000000","2"], ["111111,"1","2"], ["222222","1","20","1"], ["333333","1"] ]; But I want to end up with this: Code: MergedArray = [ ["000000","2"], ["111111","1","2"], ["222222","1","20"], ["333333","1"] ]; So the first part of the inner arrays is the first item to be sorted and combined by. After that, the smaller numbers have to do practically the same, while staying in the correct order under the first sort. I'm only a spare time programmer, and my code is probably one of the most confusing pieces of code ever written. I am assuming that this is some fairly easy stuff for one of you guys. I can post my code, but I think there's a much easier solution to it, so I wanted to see if someone can point me in the right direction, or show me how this is properly done.

Im trying to add to each element within an array. In this program I have an existing array which is called aScores. I have copied its contents into another array called aScores using slice.

Hi all. I am having a problem understanding exactly how setInterval and setTimeout work and really need some help. I want to create an array and then print out each element one at a time at one second intervals. I've only been able to come up with something like this, but it just prints the last value of the array after a second. Code: <script type = "text/javascript"> <!-- var myArray = new Array(); for (var i = 0; i < 11; i++){ myArray[i]=i+50; } for (var i = 0; i < myArray.length-1; i++){ setInterval("document.getElementById('here').innerHTML = myArray[i];", 1000); } //--> </script> <div id="here">Stuff here</div> I'm hoping someone can help correct a small problem with this script, which is intended to highlight particular text strings. Background: The script is being used at a MediaWiki site, and is adapted from a working script from Wikipedia (highlightmyname.js). The original script highlights the logged-in user's username (represented by wgUserName). I've made a copy of the script, which you can see in full here, and adapted it to work on a pre-defined array of names, adding: Code: var Admin; var ArrayAdmins = ['Adam', 'Axiomist', 'Matt', 'Steve']; for (Admin in ArrayAdmins) I also replaced each instance of wgUserName with ArrayAdmins[Admin] The problem: is that, instead of highlighting all instances of every element in ArrayAdmins, only the last element listed ('Steve') is being used. So my question is, what change(s) need to be made to apply function highlightmyname to every element in ArrayAdmins? Any help would be hugely appreciated! Hi, I have written this program: Code: var scores=[]; function sortScores(scoreRecs){ for(i=0;i<scoreRecs.length;i++) scores.push(scoreRecs[i]); for(var i=0;i<scores.length;i++) { for(var j=i+1;j<scores.length;j++) { if(Number(scores[i])>Number(scores[j])) { tempValue=scores[j]; scores[j]=scores[i]; scores[i]=tempValue; } } } alert(scores); } sortScores(["5","6","5","7","7"]); to take an array of variables in calling the function (ie sortScores), place these variables into an empty array("scores"), apply the bubble sort to scores, and then alert scores in sorted form. When I use test values like I have above, where they are all just numbers, this program works perfectly and alerts the "scores" array, correctly sorted. However, what I would like to do is to call the function with an array of records, each containing two fields, and apply the same sort to the array of records, based on the value in the first field of each record.To illustrate, i'd like to be able to call the function thus: Code: sortScores([{sco 0,index:0},{sco 2, index:1},{sco 1,index:2}]); and for it to sort the records in descending order of the value of the "score" field. So the above call would alert: Code: [{sco 2,index:1},{sco 1,index:2},{sco 0,index:0}] however, i'm not sure how i'd reference the numeric part of the f1 of each record in the sort? Hopefully you can see what I'm trying to achieve...any ideas would be greatly appreciated. The bit of code in bold in the code below is giving me this error in IE: Error: Code: Webpage error details User Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 6.0; Trident/4.0; Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1) ; SLCC1; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; Media Center PC 5.0; .NET CLR 3.5.30729; Tablet PC 2.0; InfoPath.2; OfficeLiveConnector.1.4; .NET CLR 3.0.30729; OfficeLivePatch.1.3; MSN OptimizedIE8;ENGB) Timestamp: Tue, 16 Mar 2010 15:07:11 UTC Message: HTML Parsing Error: Unable to modify the parent container element before the child element is closed (KB927917) Line: 0 Char: 0 Code: 0 URI: http://www.mateinastate.co.uk/users/mateinastate Code: Code: if(document.getElementById('msn1').innerHTML=="") { document.getElementById('msn1').style.display='none'; } if(document.getElementById('yahoo1').innerHTML=="") { document.getElementById('yahoo1').style.display='none'; } if(document.getElementById('skype1').innerHTML=="") { document.getElementById('skype1').style.display='none'; } if(document.getElementById('facebook1').innerHTML.toLowerCase().substr(0,18)=='<a href="http://">') { document.getElementById('facebook1').style.display='none'; } else if(document.getElementById('facebook1').innerHTML.toLowerCase().substr(0,11)=='<a href="">') { document.getElementById('facebook1').style.display='none'; } else { document.getElementById('fbook-add').innerHTML='Facebook Profile'; } What it's saying isn't actually true (I don't think)... this is how the section is laid out: Code: <div id="submenu1" class="anylinkcss"> <ul> <li class="contact-pm"><a href="/index.php?do=pm&act=new&to=$RateViewProfileUserName$&returnurl=$ReturnURL$">PM me</a></li> <li class="contact-email"><a href="/index.php?do=email&id=$RateViewProfileUserId$">E-mail me</a></li> <li class="contact-msn" id="msn1">$RateViewProfileUser-profile_msn$</li> <li class="contact-yahoo" id="yahoo1">$RateViewProfileUser-profile_yahoo$</li> <li class="contact-skype" id="skype1">$RateViewProfileUser-profile_skype$</li> <li class="contact-facebook" id="facebook1"><a href="$RateViewProfileUser-profile_facebook$"><span id="fbook-add"></span></a></li> </ul> </div> <script type="text/javascript" src="/html_1/js/contact-information.js"></script> Does anyone know why this might error in just IE? Hi, I'm relativly new to JS and brand new to the forum so you might need to dumb down your replys for my slightly lacking knowledge. That being said I do have a very solid grasp of html, css and am getting there with JS and its various frameworks. I'm integrating wordpress into an existing site for a friend and currently have the main blog page appear in a DIV. This is the best way to integrate in this case due to many reasons mostly of way the site is constructed. Code: <div class="scroll-pane" id="scrollbox"> WORDPRESS BLOG </div> My issue is that links within that DIV, in the blog, when clicked redirect the page. The simple answer to this would be to have them just open in a new page, which I can easily do with the below code. Code: function Init() { // Grab the appropriate div theDiv = document.getElementById('scrollbox'); // Grab all of the links inside the div links = theDiv.getElementsByTagName('a'); // Loop through those links and attach the target attribute for (var i=0, len=links.length; i < len; i++) { // the _blank will make the link open in new window links[i].setAttribute('target', '_blank'); } } window.onload = Init; But what I'd rather it do is have any link clicked inside the DIV to reload in that same DIV, similar to an iframe, but obviously without using an iframe, due to it's compatibility issues. Is this possible by editing the above code? If not what do I need? Thanks in advance for any help! Hi, I would like to sort a table which has inner table using Javascript. When I try to sort, both the outer table and the Inner table are getting sorted. For Eg: I have a table like this: Category1 10.20.30.40 Issue1 sample1 sample2 sample3 Code1 xyz abc The outer table contains Category1,Issue1,Code1 So, after sorting my table should look like this: Category1 10.20.30.40 Code1 xyz abc Issue1 sample1 sample2 sample3 Please provide a solution for this.

However when the row is inserted it is sorted oldest to newest. I would like to change this however i'm not really sure were to start. Below I have added the javascript code that refers to the addrow function. Any advice would be helpful. Code: function addRow(id){ var tbody = document.getElementById(id).getElementsByTagName("TBODY")[0]; var row = document.createElement("TR") var td1 = document.createElement("TD") textArea = document.createElement('TEXTAREA') td1.appendChild(document.createElement("textarea")) var td2 = document.createElement("TD") textArea = document.createElement('TEXTAREA') td2.appendChild(document.createElement("textarea")) var td3 = document.createElement("TD") textArea = document.createElement('TEXTAREA') td3.appendChild(document.createElement("textarea")) var td4 = document.createElement("TD") textArea = document.createElement('TEXTAREA') td4.appendChild(document.createElement("textarea")) var td5 = document.createElement("TD") textArea = document.createElement('TEXTAREA') td5.appendChild(document.createElement("textarea")) var td6 = document.createElement("TD") textArea = document.createElement('TEXTAREA') td6.appendChild(document.createElement("textarea")) row.appendChild(td1); row.appendChild(td2); row.appendChild(td3); row.appendChild(td4); row.appendChild(td5); row.appendChild(td6); tbody.appendChild(row); var tbody = document.getElementById(id).getElementsByTagName("TBODY")[0]; var row = document.createElement("TR") var td1 = document.createElement("TD") td1.appendChild(document.createTextNode("Remarks:")) var td2 = document.createElement("TD") textArea = document.createElement('TEXTAREA') td2.colSpan="4"; td2.appendChild(document.createElement("textarea")) row.appendChild(td1); row.appendChild(td2); tbody.appendChild(row); } |
