JavaScript - Return Back To <p> From Textarea?
Hi, I currently have a <div> with a <p> and have an edit button that when clicked will transform it into a textarea using jQuery's .html().
I also have a cancel button which allows the user to cancel the edit and return the textarea to the previous content, any ideas how I do this? JavaScript Code: // JavaScript Document jQuery(document).ready(function(e) { $('#edit_p').click(function(e){ $('#cancel_p').show(); $('#greeting').html("<textarea id='txt_greeting' cols='20'>" + $('#greeting p').text() + "</textarea>"); $(this).hide(); }); $('#cancel_p').click(function(e){ $('#edit_p').show(); $(this).hide(); }); }); HTML Code: <!DOCTYPE HTML> <html> <head> <meta charset="utf-8"> <title>Textarea/Button Change</title> <script type="text/javascript" src="jquery-1.7.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="txt_area_jquery.js"></script> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="txt_area_style.css" /> </head> <body> <div id="greeting"><p>Hello, today is a great day!</p></div> <input type="button" name="edit_p" id="edit_p" value="Edit" /> <input type="button" name="cancel_p" id="cancel_p" value="Cancel" /> <?php ?> </body> </html> Similar Tutorialshi i have a html page that has a link "OPEN POP UP" when this link is clicked a new pop up window is opened. and this pop has two LINKS first is ONE and second is TWO. what i want to do is. when any of these LINKS is clicked on the popup the should close and the my main html page from where the popup came should execute a javascript function. please help I don't understand the logic of Break, Return False, Return True. It was never really covered in our college class, and I see everyone using it. I got an A in the class, if that 'proves' that I really tried to apply myself. NOTE: I understand what the function is doing. I just don't understand WHEN to use break, return false or return true if the the translator can determine the conditional statements. PHP Code: function submitForm(){ var ageSelected = false; for (var i=0; i<5; ++1){ if (document.forms[0].ageGroup[i].checked == true) { ageSelected = true; break; } } if (ageSelected == false){ window.alert("You must select your age group"); return false; } else return false; } if the the translator can determine the conditional statements, why not write it like this: PHP Code: function submitForm(){ var ageSelected = false; for (var i=0; i<5; ++1){ if (document.forms[0].ageGroup[i].checked == true) { ageSelected = true; break; // what's the point for the 'break'? Won't the rest of the code be ignored since it passed the first condition? } } if (ageSelected == false){ window.alert("You must select your age group"); return false; } // why not leave the last else out? is it just a 'safety' catch, in case something other than true or false is inputted? else return false; // what's the point? } Questions: Why use return true, if the translator knows it's ture? Why use "return false" if the translator knows it's false and the alert window has already gone up? why not use "break" to stop the code? Why use the "return false" at the end "else" statement? Hi room, Hey, I opened up the source code for this page in google chrome and since i'm learning javascript, i wanted see if i could "read" it and figure out what was going on. I'm am having the hardest time understanding "return false" and "return true". Could someone step me through this via interpreting this code (in bold typeface): Code: var DefaultValue = 'Search'; function clearSearch() { if (document.searchForm.q.value == DefaultValue) { document.searchForm.q.value = ''; } } function validateSearchHeader() { if ( document.searchForm.q.value == '' || document.searchForm.q.value.toLocaleLowerCase() == DefaultValue.toLocaleLowerCase() ) { alert('Please enter at least one keyword in the Search box.'); document.searchForm.q.focus(); return false; } return true; } Thanks! Hi i have a problem, i've been trying to fix this for the whole day pls see my code below Code: for ($o = 0; $o <= $totalclass; $o++) { for($i = 1; $i <= 45; $i++) { if ($_SESSION['classification'][$o] == $i) { $sql2="SELECT ClassDesc FROM tblclass WHERE ClassID = '$i'"; $result2=mysql_query($sql2); // If successfully queried if($result2) { while ($row2 = mysql_fetch_assoc($result2)) { $ClassDesc2 = $row2['ClassDesc']; } } //echo $ClassDesc2; ?> <tr> <td bgcolor="FAFAF6" class="small" valign="top">Class <? echo $i; ?></td> <input type="hidden" name="<? echo "classid[]"; ?>" value="<? echo $i; ?>"> <td bgcolor="FAFAF6"> <textarea name="<? echo "specification[]"; ?>" COLS="50" ROWS="6" class="small" wrap="virtual" tabindex="<? echo $i; ?>"><? echo $ClassDesc2;?></textarea> <input type="button" value="Reset" onclick="window.reset();" name="reset"> </td> </tr> <? } } } i've trying to create a button or image to reset one textarea (from whole array) and so far i've been unsuccessful. i've seen this on other website and i know it is possible to do this, pls help! Not sure how to explain this but...... Using a meta refresh to display a thankyou page for 5 seconds after a form submit, then return to form. If user clicks back to return to main page from form, returns to thankyou page instead, and has to go back to form again, then back to main page. I can have thankyou page return to main page, but would rather return to form. This is what it should do: main page -> form -> thankyou page -> form -> main page This is what it does: main -> form -> thankyou -> form -> thankyou -> form -> main Is there any way to remove thankyou page from history? i have the following code which i am trying to insert a 'back button' into to go back to the previous page. i can only seem to get the button to appear either at the very top or very bottom of the page, does anyone know how i can specify the location? this script is generated from easypano tourweaver - Code: <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> <title>Virtual Tour Created By CAPITA SYMONDS</title> </head> <body leftMargin="0" topMargin="0" rightMargin="0" bottomMargin="0"> <script type="text/javascript" src="swfobject.js"></script> <div id="flashcontent"> To view virtual tour properly, Flash Player 9.0.28 or later version is needed.

I am pretty new to JS and have been racking my brain all week to find a solution for this. I have a javascript fading slideshow but it has no back or next button.

I need a back to top link on the bottom of my page that stays there all the time while people are scrolling.. is this possible? is this close to what i'm looking for? http://javascript.internet.com/page-...ting-link.html i've seen it on some other sites but I can't find any to reference now... I'm totally new to this! thanks for your help! -B Hello there, I'm a 30yr old returning to school and I signed up for a CMIS102 class, thinking it be more explanatory as the syllabus let on. But I was wrong. While I do understand some of what the professor has been teaching us, like modular programming and IfElse statements, I can't wrap my head around things like While Loops. My professor has saddled us with a couple assignments, requiring us to write in pseudocode and I was wondering if anyone could explain what he wants from this assignment or even help me with it, that maybe I can finally have a grasp of it, and will know what I'm doing on the final. ~Tia P.S. I've posted the assignment question below: I need to write a pseudo-codepseudocode for the following question but don't know how: Write a program to read a list of exam scores (in the range 0 to 100) and to output the total number of grades and the number of grades in each letter=grade category. The end input is indicated by a negative score as a sentinel value. (The negative value is used only to end the loop, so do not use it in the calculations. Example: 88 93 55 77 100 -1 (The output would be) Total number of grades = 5 Number of A's =2 Number of B's = 1 Number of C's =1 Number of D's = 0 Number of F's =1 Must prompt user to run again this function seems to be working fine in all browser but of course. I'm still a noob at JavaScript and well things like this just doesn't make sense. when I go to alert this function in IE I get undefined. But other browser gives me a value. What am I doing wrong with this function? Code: function ext() { var img = document.getElementById('photoSmall'); img = img.src; if (typeof img == 'string' && img != 'undefined') { var typeis = img.substr(-4); if (typeis == '.png' || '.jpg' || '.gif') { return typeis; } } } Thanks Jon W I am not sure if this has been posted before but I need help with this. When a user clicks on the back button I need them to be directed to the previous page and still have their original selections and not the defaults. Here is the rest of code on the back button. At the moment this is not working. <input id=STDBUTSHORT type="button" value="Back" onClick="history.back();">') Thanks in advance. I am making a simple puzzle game on Android using Phonegap, that is HTML5, CSS3 and JavaScript. When a user fills an answer on a page, if the answer is correct, it will go to another page. However, once the user goes to the next page, he/she CANNOT return back to the previous page. I do not want the user to return back, else he/she will have to fill the answer again to go to the next page, so it's not good. Thank I need an html page that when visited automatically redirects the browser to return to the previous page it was on. here is the current code I have: Code: <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" /> <title>Untitled Document</title> <script type="text/javascript"> function load() { history.go(-1) alert(""); } </script> </head> <body onload="load()"> <input type="button" value="Back" onclick="goBack()" /> </body> </html> this works in firefox but in IE you have to press ok in the alert box before it returns. I admit I am a javascript novice. Any suggestions im trying to figure out a script that when someone clicks my checkbox (or onchange/onclick events the span tag that wraps it) it changes the color of the font in the span tag... but then if they click again...for the color to return to normal heres my checkboxes as of the moment... disregard the sloppy multiple classes....i wanted to pad the elements evenly lol Code: <div id="selectform"> <span onclick="id='colorchange'" class="webspace"><input type="checkbox" value="website"> Website Design </span> <span class="reverbspace"> <input type="checkbox" value="reverb"> Reverb Nation </span> <span class="twitspace"><input type="checkbox" value="twitter"> Twitter </span> <span class="logospace"> <input type="checkbox" value="logo"> Logo/Branding </span> <span class="soundclickspace"> <input type="checkbox" value="ning"> SoundClick </span> <span class="photospace"> <input type="checkbox" value="photo"> Photo Retouch </span> <span class="albumspace"><input type="checkbox" value="Album/Mixtape/DVD"> Mixtape/ DVD Cover</span> <span class="ningspace"> <input type="checkbox" value="ning"> Ning WebSite </span> <span class="flyerspace"> <input type="checkbox" value="flyer"> Flyers </span> <span class="businessspace"> <input type="checkbox" value="Business card"> Business Card </span> <span class="brochurespace"> <input type="checkbox" value="Brochure"> Brochure </span> <span class="otherspace"> <input type="checkbox" > Other </span> </div> this is prob more simple than im thinking but i cant grasp it at the moment.. on the process page for my site, it has a link to view the account i click on that link and then i can click the back link to go back.. when i do, i get a page has expired message the reason is because the original link there is Code: http://www.xxx.com?ms=1 and that ms1 no longer exists after i leave the page because i unset it. once i leave that page so im curious is there a way to have the main url Code: http://www.xxx.com as the referrer when i click on the link so that when i use the back link Code: <a href="javascript: void(0)" onClick="javascript:history.go(-1)">Go Back</a> it can go back to that main page url instead of tring to find the one with ms1 on it.. i just realized i should have posted this is javascript sorry im tired lol |
