JavaScript - Chatroom User Input
In a normal chatroom, when the user "says" something, the text will be displayed normally on a line with the date/time attached like the example below.
2011/11/09 Capypara: Blah balh blah I would like to make it so that the text typed in by the user will appear inside a graphic (square, or those chat bubbles) like the example below. The graphic will only appear when a user says something, so essentially both the graphic and the text will appear together. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | | | 2011/11/09 Capypara: Blah balh blah | | | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Is it possible to go about doing this? Thanks for reading this. Similar TutorialsHi guys, I am facing the above problem for a chatroom app that I am making. People will enter and exit the room any time they want, so i need a member list that updates itself to reflect this on the screen of all users that are in the chatroom. What i have thought of, is to have JS call a PHP function on specific intervals, and that PHP function will retrieve user data from a database and pass it to JS to display on the list. Is this method advisable? Are there any more suitable ways of doing this? I am thinking of applying the same theory for displaying and retrieving chat messages, but i get the feeling that something's missing for this, or maybe this method is not right for displaying messages. Is there any possible way for JS to save changes that a user has made? my situation is that I'm a photographer who offers photobooks. My customers often have hundreds or thousands of photos and want captions on lots of them. I want to post a photo gallery with a user input form. I've created a simple form, but I want the user to be able to save comments straight to the gallery so I can look at them... it's only a very simple form and isn't quite finished yet, oh by the way, I'm not sure how to use the check box... but, i'll work on that.

Please help! So I have been working on this exercise for about a month. In the book I am reading it say's this:"For each number that the user enters, the text boxes on the web page should display: the last score that was entered, the number of scores that have been entered, the total of these scores, the average score, the best score, and the worst score. When you write the code for this function, you should enclose the prompt method within a loop, but you decide which type of loop is best for this application. Now, write and test the code." The first peice of code is my HTML, and the second piece of code is the function that I have to start from in a .js file. I just seem to be confused at how my structuring needs to be. The 999 in the function is what the prompt says to enter to escape. Code: <body>
<div id="content">
<h1>Using Loops</h1>
<label for="lastScore">Last Sco </label>
<input type="text" id="lastScore" /><br />
<p></p>
<label for="scoreCount">Score Count:</label>
<input type="text" id="scoreCount" /><br />
<label for="scoreTotal">Score Total:</label>
<input type="text" id="scoreTotal" /><br />
<p></p>
<label for="scoreAverage">Average Sco </label>
<input type="text" id="scoreAverage" /><br />
<label for="bestScore">Best Sco </label>
<input type="text" id="bestScore" /><br />
<label for="worstScore">Worst Sco </label>
<input type="text" id="worstScore" /><br />
<p></p>
</div>
Code: var process_test_scores = function () {
var testScore;
testScore = parseInt(prompt(
"Enter a valid test score between 0 and 100.\n" +
"To end test score entry, enter 999.", 999));
}
Hey, so i've been learning basics and I can get the following code to work as a prompt and I thought hey, I wounder if I can get it to work of a UI system, so I edited the code and got this Read Below Post Can you please help me to find where I am going wrong. Thanks MancunianMacca Hello all, First off I would like to say a big hello and thank you to the forum for helping me with code over the years... I am trying to create an iframe with a user input, however, I dont simply want the iframe to display the URL the user has entered in the iframe. I want it to be used within a URL string. For example: The iframe should display http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=UserKeyword I havent got a clue where to start from.... Any help would be highly appreciated! Thanks! _________
I need help using javascript cookies to save the input users will fill in to many inputs within one form. I've never worked with cookies and I was wondering if someone could help me out here - the answers I've found searching the web do not work for me. Any help is appreciated, Thanks. The assignment is to take a form and determine whether or not the user has put in data into the parts of the form. We are using Javascript to validate the form input and html to create the form itself. My code was running before, but then I added a confirm user input at the bottom of the form and it stopped working. I have no idea what to do at this point. Any help would be useful. I don't have any error messages because I don't know how to test it in the firefox javascript console, if someone wants to instruct me on this i can get back to you guys with the error messages. Thanks Also, my submit button has not been running the validate program when selected. Code: <html>

Hey guys, I just joined the forums (literally) and just started coding (mainly with CSS and HTML) about 3-4 weeks ago. I'd really like to get into JavaScript to make cool things happen on my website. With that being said, I've come up with a pretty cool idea but am not sure how to go about my problem. Enough with the chit chat. What I'm trying to do is add text to a user's input. For instance, if they write "Hello", the function should automatically add "World" to the output. I'd ideally like for the output to be searched on Google (think search engine) with the results displayed on a new page. Thanks in advance for any help! Okay, so I've created a JavaScript form which allows the user to enter their name into the form and display it within the sentence, "Welcome to the site ______". It works on one page, but, problem is, I'd like it to be displayed on every page. I'm aware you cannot do this with getElementbyId (can only be used once), which is what I've used. I've tried using getElementsbyClass, but from my understanding, it's not as simple as that. Here's my code so far anyway: Code: <script type="text/javascript">
function inputname(){
var userInput = document.getElementById('userInput').value;
document.getElementById('welcome').innerHTML = userInput;
}
</script>
Code: <p>Welcome to the site <b id='welcome'></b> </p> <input type='text' id='userInput' /> <input type='button' onclick='inputname()' value='Enter Name'/> Dear expert (Ok, i am new to this and should maybe not address this as a letter ) I hope someone can help me ... this is what i want to achieve (I am using frontpage) I want to create a table (this i can do!) that require a user input (number of guests). It then has SEVERAL options: - Select an option from a drop down list, and a price is then loaded from somewhere to create a total for that option and display it in the table (And keep that total for adding later) - Check a box, and if checked it creates a further calculation, displaying and storing the number for further calculation. a number of the above options, and a grand total on the bottom. I found more or less a page on a site that does what i am looking for, but after looking at the code, i have even LESS of an idea how it works Can someone PLEASE help me, or point me in the right direction? (I am not looking for someone to just write the code for me, as this will not teach me anything, and i want to learn) Below is a link to the example .. http://www.ouma-se-kombuis.co.za/test.html Thank you! Hi I have a form with some input tags, and when the user submit the form I which if a new hidden tag get submitted with the value the user did tip. I am thinking for doing that but not sure if it is the right thing : Code: <form method="POST"
<input type="text" name="{actionForm.Name}" id="username">
<input type="password" name="{actionForm.Passwd}" id="password">
<input type="hidden" name="usernameh" value="document.getElementById('username')">
<input type="hidden" name="passwordh" value="document.getElementById('password')">
</form>
Is it alright ? I mean when the user enter the username and password, the hidden tags should contain those two values that the user has made. Hey everyone, I've looked around quite a bit and can't seem to find anything but I was wondering if there is some open source software offering a text editor/input field similar to the one used on this forum when submitting a comment or thread? Where you can click a bold button or Italic button or URL button to structure it? Thanks Josh Hi there, I'll try to be brief: When a user submits a website in the input field on my site, I'd like there to be a background process that takes a screenshot of that website and then displays that image to the user. This website does it perfectly. The user writes the website to the right, and the screenshot is displayed to the left. I'm looking for a free alternative, and read that perhaps webkit(s) might be the solution? I'm a total newbie when it comes to this so any feedback is gold to me. Thank you so much guys/gals. I have a textarea with two buttons on it on the main page. When the user types into the textbox and hits the first button, a new window appears with the html language the user typed into the box. the other button closes the window. I cannot get the user's input to show up in the new window... Here is my code so far Code: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<title>Test</title>
</head>
<body>
<form name = "form1">

<br>
<input type = "button" value = "Preview" name = "preview" onclick = "write2new()">
<input type = "button" value = "Close Preview" name = "closePreview" onclick = "w.close()">
</form>
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">

{
var t = document.form1.userInput.value;
var w = open("");
w.document.write(t);
w.document.close();
}

I need to create (using JAVASCRIPT) a text box with a button. When the button is clicked, the contents of the box are added to the URL (the url is in the code, probably a variable, for this example it is mydomain.wordpress.com/) and the url produced loads. For example, if the text "Hello" was printed in the text box once the button is clicked the page mydomain.wordpress.com/Hello is loaded.
Ok, so if you navigate ovr to my website "http://www.mancunianmacca.co.cc" you will notice that a box pops up asking for your name. When you type it in it adds it to the page. Is there a way I can get this to remember the users input and only ask them once then remember. Like cookie or anything. If you need any extra things. Just ask.
Hi there! OK I need a little help as I'm not sure how to integrate this function into my form. First of all I should explain that my form doubles as a Google Search box. If you select the Google Search radio button it submits the input text to Google. It also defaults to Google if anything else other than "red", "green" or "blue" are entered. Now what I'd like to do is add a function so that if someone enters "purple is my favorite color" it recognizes the "purple" part of the string using something like .indexOf('purple'); and calls something like if(function==-1) { theForm.action = "Other choice "+ q.value; . How can I add this to my form? Thank you for any help. My form code: Code: <script>
function convert(theForm){
var els = theForm.getElementsByTagName('input');// store inputs
var q = els[0], color = els[1];
if(els[4].checked){// submit to google
theForm.action = 'http://www.google.com/search';
return true;
};
color.value = "Chosen "+ q.value +" color";
switch(q.value){// check the query
case 'red':
case 'green':
case 'blue':
location.href = color.value;
return false;
break;
default:
theForm.action="http://www.google.com/search";
break;
};
return true;
};
</script>
<form name= "myform" onsubmit='return convert(this)'> <input name='q' type='text' />
<input name='color' type='hidden' /> <input type='submit' value=" Enter " />

<label for="google"> Google Search </label></form>
I have a bunch of questions and know very little javascript. (I come from a world of Visual basic) I would spend the time to learn a lot more about it, but i dont have that time since this program needs to be done by tuesday. Question 1: Do i save the text from textbox a user inputs to a variable like this when a submit button is clicked?: var tb1=textbox1.text Question 2: To activate or call that variable on the click of a button do i do this?: <form> <input type="button" value="text" onlick="tb1"/> </form> I have a bunch of questions, but i will ask them later when i know how to state them better. |
