JavaScript - Does The Javascript Error Handler Go Here?
Just want to be sure - I am trying to install cufon scripts and apparently we should "Add JavaScript error handling in case there is an error loading" Is this done like the following:
Code: <script type="text/javascript"> function handleError() { return true; } window.onerror = handleError; </script> Thanks Similar Tutorialshello everyone, i am new to all this.. i need help regarding.. i am generating text box dynamically(mean it's a multiple select box, depending upon the number you select , it will generate that many text field.) my problem is that i want to assign a calender to the text field generated whenever a user clicks on that text field. i am able to do it for simple text field as onclick="javascript: showCalendar('idname')" but how to do it in this case, where can i declare this ? Q1. write a function called countAS that will take a string as input (using a prompt dialog box,prompt the user or the string).the string must contain only a's,b's and c's e.g. "abccbbaa" or "aaabbbccc" if any other letters are present apart from the letters a b c, output an alert dialog box with an error message and prompt the user again to input a valid string.count the number of a's the numbers of b's and the numbers of c's entered and display the count for each as well as a total count of all the characters within the string . for example if the string was abbcc output should be as follows: the total count is 5 characters The Number of a's is 1 The Number of b's is 2 The Number of c's is 2 Q2. write a code that uses an event handler to display an alert dialog box with the message 'hello to you all' when a user clicks a link in a html page which links to the school of computing website. Hi, I have the following code. This code is working fine in FF but not in IE. Can any one let me know how i can resolve this. function handlerFunc (elem, elem1) //elem1 is id of input tag { elem.onKeyUp = keyupHandler (elem1); //throwing error in IE. If i remove argument it is working fine, but i want to make it work with arguments. } function keyUpHandler (elem1) { alert (elem1.form.name); } if it is done like this: Code: anElement.onclick=handleIt; function handleIt() { this. ... //'this' refer to the anElement } However, if you attach an event, quirk happens: Code: anElement.attachEvent("onclick",handleIt); // not sure if anElement.addEventListener("click",handleIt,false) works well function handleIt() { this. ... //'this' refer to an empty object ??????? } why 'this' doesn't refer to the current target? anyone can help? I understand that there is an onended event handler that can be used to detect when a media event, such as the playing of am MP3 file or digital video file, is completed. I would like to know 1. how to use code this event handler and 2. how to use detection of the end of the media event to launch another Web page. Thanks for any help, George Hey Everyone, I would like to let a select menu drop down with the click of a button or image. So, I have: Code: <select> <option>Option1</option> <option>Option2</option> <option>Option3</option> <option>Option4</option> </select> So, how do I trigger this select menu to drop down, except for clicking on the down arrow? Thanx in forward Hi, I having problems using 'this' in an objects method. I have simplified the problem - see image. I instantiate object obj1 which inturn instantiates subObj1. subObj1 is a slave to obj1. obj1 registers a handler function called method1 with subObj1 so that subObj1 can tell obj1 when it has finished. For example: call subObj1.subMethod2() to get the sub object to do something. subObj1 calls subMethod1 when its finished with its task, which inturn causes method1 to be called. If I call method1 directly from obj1 'this' refers to obj1. However when method1 gets called by the subObj1 through the event handler mechanism, I find that 'this' has been changed to refer to subObj1. This is a problem as now method1 has lost all connection with its object obj1. If I define method1 within the 'Class1' function, I can get it to work if I use the 'var me = this;' trick, but if you have lots of methods within Class1() with further nesting this can get a bit hard to read. So, can someone tell me how to deal with 'this' changing. I.e. I want 'this' to refer to obj1 within method1. Code: <html> <body> <script type="text/javascript"> function Class1(){ this.prop1 = "prop"; this.subObj1 = new SubClass1(); //sub-object this.subObj1.subMethod1 = this.method1; //register handler } Class1.prototype.method1 = function(){ console.log(this.prop1); } function SubClass1(){ this.prop1 = "subObjProp"; this.subMethod1; this.subMethod2 = function(){ this.subMethod1(); }; } obj1 = new Class1(); obj1.method1(); //prints 'prop' obj1.subObj1.subMethod2(); //prints 'subObjProp' </script> </body> </html> On another note, there seems to many ways of defining methods (e.g using 'prototype' etc etc) and I gettting sick and tierd of a 'trial and error' approach to get things working. Can anyone recomend a good resourse that sets out the best way to design with javascript so I dont keep running into these issues. (E.g. is my scheme of communicating with sub-objects a bit crazy, and is there a better way.) Thanks. Hi all, I am really stuck on this: I have an iframe on my page <iframe id="displayframe">. I used security="restricted" to create a more 'secure' frame but that means that any forms which submit will be opened in a new window... away from my website. I also have a textbox, called "showurl" which acts as an 'address bar' to the iframe and the accompanying button "go". I read on Stanford's website that: "It is possible to use JavaScript inside the restricted iframe, by attaching event handlers from the outside (unrestricted) window. This allows the outer window to get around the restriction that hyperlinks in a restricted iframe are supposed to open in a new window. " So I would need a function that would detect when a new page has been opened (ie. a form has been submitted) and would be able to take the URL of the new page, copy the new page's URL into the textbox and click the button "Go" and close the new page (the one which just opened) All in all... The event handler needs to get the url of the submitted form page (the opened window) paste it into the textbox "showurl", click the button "go" and then close the opened window. Could anyone help me out on this? It would be greatly appreciated!! I have many examples within my page of the form: Code: <a id="L1" href="#" onclick="return showSpan();" onblur="return hideSpan();"><span> ... </span></a> The page is styled so that hovering over the link displays the contents of the hidden <span> as a block without any javascript. I want this to work (that is display the span as a block) when the user tabs onto a link (and presses Return/Enter). When the user tabs away, it should hide the <span>. My starting code looks like: Code: function showSpan() { var linkID = document.getElementById(this.id); var classList = linkID.getElementsByTagName('span'); var divID = classList[0]; divID.style.display = "block"; return false; } // function with a similar function for hideSpan(), Ultimately I would like to add these event handlers in the initialisation phase, which is why I have used a parameterless function. Whenever I try this, I get an error that this.id does not exist. How can I attach these event handlers? John Rostron Hello all, I'm wondering if anyone can offer advice on a simple (or so I thought!) Javascript menu I'm trying to create. I'm creating 5 buttons, using event handlers (onmouseover etc) which exchange 1 image for another. I did the first one fine - it worked perfectly, but as soon as I added the rest they all stopped working properly. The best I have got, is that the last link will do what it's supposed to regardless of which link I hover over! Which is strange. So the browser seems to be actioning the last thing on the list if that makes sense. It seems to me that I need to add an "if" type attribute, so "if" I hover over the home button, the home images change, as opposed to the last one on the list. This is the code I have so far for a single link - the rest are copies of this with adjustments made to the imgname and image sources obviously..... <div style="width:80px; height:20px;margin-top:20px;margin-left:85px;"><a href="about.html" onMouseOver="return changeImage()" onMouseOut= "return changeImageBack()" onMouseDown="return handleMDown()" onMouseUp="return handleMUp()" ><img name="aboutbutton" src="img/aboutn.png" width="80" height="20" border="0" alt="javascript button 1"></a> <script language="JavaScript"> upImage = new Image(); upImage.src = "img/abouth.png"; downImage = new Image(); downImage.src = "img/aboutc.png" normalImage = new Image(); normalImage.src = "img/aboutn.png"; function changeImage() { document.images["aboutbutton"].src= upImage.src; return true; } function changeImageBack() { document.images["aboutbutton"].src = normalImage.src; return true; } function handleMDown() { document.images["aboutbutton"].src = downImage.src; return true; } function handleMUp() { changeImage(); return true; } </script></div> Any suggestions on where I am going wrong would be wonderful. Thanks so much in advance! All the best I'm having trouble passing an array into an event handler. This does not work: Code: var lightbulb = [1,1,1,0,1,0] var banana = [0,0,1,1,0,1] function changetextimage(arr){ for(var i=0;i<5;i++){ var pixel = document.getElementById("text"+i); if (arr[i]) { pixel.style.color="#000000"; } else { pixel.style.color="#FFFFFF"; } } } $('#lightbulbpicture').mouseover(changetextimage(lightbulb)); $('#bananapicture').mouseover(changetextimage(banana)); This does work: Code: var lightbulb = [1,1,1,0,1,0] var banana = [0,0,1,1,0,1] function changetextimage1(){ for(var i=0;i<5;i++){ var pixel = document.getElementById("text"+i); if (lightbulb[i]) { pixel.style.color="#000000"; } else { pixel.style.color="#FFFFFF"; } } } function changetextimage2(){ for(var i=0;i<5;i++){ var pixel = document.getElementById("text"+i); if (banana[i]) { pixel.style.color="#000000"; } else { pixel.style.color="#FFFFFF"; } } } $('#lightbulbpicture').mouseover(changetextimage1); $('#bananapicture').mouseover(changetextimage2); I have a whole bunch of these arrays (which are much longer) that I want to pass into this function so I just want to pass each as an argument rather than write each function out. I bolded the areas I'm talking about so it's easier to see. Hey guys, I know that there are two ways to declare an event in javascript. 1.Inline ie: <a href="#" onclick="function_name(param)">Link</a> 2.Traditional ie: linkelement.onclick = function_name; Now, how can the second method work with functions that have parameters??? Since we can't use parenthesis, how do we pass in the arguments?! I have a piece of JavaScript code that should validate that a username field is not empty or null and that a telephone field is in the correct format using event handler registration. It seems to be validating fine but if there is an error it still manages to submit. HTML Code: <html> <head> <script type = "text/javascript" src = "js/validator.js" > </script> </head> <body> <form id = "decorForm" action = ""> <table border = "0"> <tr> <th>Username: </th> <td> <input type = "text" id = "myUserName" size = "15" maxlength = "15"/> </td> </tr> <tr> <th>Telephone: </th> <td> <input type = "text" id = "telephone" name = "telephone" size = "15" maxlength = "13"/> <br /> (999)999-9999 </td> </tr> <tr> <td> <input type = "submit" value = "Submit" /> </td> <td> <input type = "reset" value = "Reset" /> </td> </tr> </table> </form> <script type = "text/javascript" src = "js/validatorr.js" > </script> </body> </html> JAVASCRIPT (validator.js) Code: function chkUser() { // Verifies that the UserName field is not empty. var myUserName = document.getElementById("myUserName"); if (myUserName.value == "" || myUserName.value == null) { alert ("Please enter a Username!"); return false; } else { return true; } } function chkTelephone() { // Verifies that the Telephone field value is in the correct format. var tel = document.getElementById("telephone"); var pos = tel.value.search(/^\(\d{3}\)\d{3}-\d{4}$/); if (pos != 0) { alert ("Please enter telephone number in the following format: (999)999-9999"); return false; } else { return true; } } function chkFields() { // Verifes all fields and returns boolean to event handler // The event handler function if (chkUser() && chkTelephone()) { return true; } else { return false; } } JAVASCRIPT (validatorr.js) Code: //Register the event handlers for validator.js document.getElementById("decorForm").onSubmit = chkFields; I am trying to use this as an example. Hello, I am working on a project that takes links on a page (Not all, depends on if they are Merchandise links or partner links), and passes some parameters to a tracking js call. The problem is, I don't want to put 'onclicks" on every href as there could be a hundred on a page and many of the links are dynamically generated on the backend. So, I was thinking of creating a function that took in parameters from each of the links that are pressed. But I was told "bind" is a good way to do this, but to be honest - it is very confusing to me. How would I do this? Lets say we have two links (there will be many more, but for an example sake). <a href="somelink.html" id="linka">link a</a> <javascript> var cu = new Linktracker({ dispPrice: 30, dispTitle: 'Manager', dispProduct: 'Red Shoes' }); $('linka').observe('click', cu.updateSomeFunc.bindAsEventListener(cu, 'dispPrice', 'dispTitle', 'dispProduct') ); </script> <a href="somelink.html" id="linkb">link b</a> <javascript> var cu = new Linktracker({ dispPrice: 10, dispTitle: 'casual', dispProduct: 'Blue Shoes' }); $('linkb').observe('click', cu.updateSomeFunc.bindAsEventListener(cu, 'dispPrice', 'dispTitle', 'dispProduct') ); </script> How does any particular click know I am referencing the correct "var cu"? Can something like this be done? <a href="somelink.html" id="linkc">link c</a> <javascript> $('linka').observe('click',( var cu = new Linktracker({ dispPrice: 30, dispTitle: 'Manager', dispProduct: 'Red Shoes' }); ) cu.updateSomeFunc.bindAsEventListener(cu, 'dispPrice', 'dispTitle', 'dispProduct') ); </script> What am I missing here? Should I use just "bind" or "bindAsEventListener"? Since each link on the page is unique and will pass different values, what is the best way to do this without putting "onclicks" on every link? Please help me with this code to determine whether the check box has been checked. I get "Thank you" even if I don't check the check box. <script type="text/javascript"> var uncheck = document.getElementById().checked == false; var accept; function checkAccept() { var uncheck; if (uncheck == false){ alert ("You must accept the terms."); } else (uncheck == true) { alert ("Thank you."); } } </script> <form> <br />Please accept the terms by clicking the box below: <br />Accept terms: <input type="checkbox" id="accept" value="Y" /> <br /><input type="button" name="btn" value="Accept" onclick="checkAccept()" /> </form> </body> </html> I have added an event listener to a LI item in the DOM: liNode.addEventListener("mouseover", mouseOn, true); The mouseOn function: function mouseOn(e) { // Test for IE or Firefox var e = (!e)?window.event:e; var yPos; if (e.pageY) { yPos = e.pageY; } else { yPos = e.clientY; } } I would like to pass in another parameter to the mouseOn function in addition to the event that is passed in automatically. Is there a way to do this? Hello, Is it possible to set an html element's (created through HTML DOM's createElement() method) 'onclick' attribute's value to a Javascript function which requires a parameter, passing a variable to it at the same time? I have the following Javascript code: Code: var parentDiv = document.getElementById("subscribers"); var stubSpan = document.createElement("span"); stubSpan.id = "opentok_subscriber_" + stream.streamId; stubSpan.onclick = showStreamInFullScreenMode(stream); parentDiv.appendChild(stubSpan); 'stream' in the bolded line is a parameter variable of the function that the above code is in, and I'm trying to pass it to another function using an onclick event. Can this be done, or am I crazy to be even trying to do this? Thanks in advance. Hi I am trying to develop a Qwerty Shifter http://www.cross-browser.com/toys/qwertyshifter.html by handling keyboard events. I want to display a textbox and as user type any text it changes at once means as user types "a" it display "s" "b" changes "n" for internet explorer I have script function InputEventKeyPress(event){ window.event.keyCode = shifter (window.event.keyCode); } //Key press function shifter (keyAscii) { switch (keyAscii){ //CAPITAL LETTERS A - Z case 65 : return 83; break; //A case 66 : return 78; break; //B case 67 : return 86 ; break; //C } } |
