JavaScript - Javascript - A Lost Tribe?

Hey, I have been using a tr onclick function in my tables to change the color of the most recently clicked row, it works fine.

I have recently added sorttable http://www.kryogenix.org/code/browser/sorttable/ to my table with the simple <table class="sortable">

Making the table sortable has overwritten my tr onclick functions, which are now dead. Any ideas/thoughts? Heres a quick sample of what it looks like:

Code:

<table class="sortable">
<thead><th scope="col">Header 1</th>
<th scope="col">Header 2</th></thead>
<tr onclick="doSomething(this);"><td>Some data</td><td>Some more</td></tr>
</table>

Code:

// Code for alternating row colors on data tables, but NOT every table.... just ones with classname="altRows"
// Note: rowID comes from the JIT Variable: &&_sflalt 
// Note: This function is called in ovject group: *TR in the MLS Syntax File
function stripeRows(rowVar)
{
	// Need to create a var for uniquely identifying the highlighted rows
	var rowID = 0;
	
	// Begin the checking and writing of the HTML data
	if (rowVar == '')
	{	
		var html = "<tr>";
		document.writeln(html);
	}
	
	else if (rowVar == '0')
	{
		var html = "<tr class=\"rowEven\" id=\"evenRow"+rowID+"\" onmouseover=\"highlightRow('over', 'evenRow"+rowID+"');\" onmouseout=\"highlightRow('out', evenRow"+rowID+"');\">";
		document.writeln(html);
		rowID++;
	}
	
	else if (rowVar == '1')
	{
		var html = "<tr class=\"rowOdd\" id=\"oddRow"+rowID+"\" onmouseover=\"highlightRow('over', 'oddRow"+rowID+"');\" onmouseout=\"highlightRow('out', oddRow"+rowID+"');\">";
		document.writeln(html);
		rowID++;
	}
	
	else 
	{
		var alertText = "Something went wrong with alternating row color in datasets - The function broke. Please jot down a note as to what you were doing when this dialogue box poped up, and let American Health Care Software know \n\n\n ATTN: Pat Litke";
		parent.showDialog('Broken Function',alertText,'prompt');
	}
}

// Function for modifying class attrbutes for row highlighting..
// This function will allows the currently moused-over row to highlight a different color based on its ID
function highlightRow(option, theRowID)
{
	var row = document.getElementById(theRowID);
	
	if(option == 'over')
	{
		row.className = 'rowOver';
	}
	
	if(option == 'out')
	{
		row.className = 'rowEven';
	} else if(option == 'in')
	{
		row.className = 'rowOdd';
	} else { }
}

Can someone help? I can't figure out why this isn't working the way that I'm logically seeing it... The alternate rows highlight works fine, but the mouseover and mouseout events fail miserebly... When a page loads, regardless of where i mouse over, only the top two rows color in with the mouseOver color. They also don't revert to original coloring. Where am I going wrong?

Note: I apologize if it's something little that I'm missing... I'm still new to js

Hi, I have this ajax routine...

Code:

function xhr_get(target_str,async){
	var sync=true;
	if(async){sync=false;}
	var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
	xhr.open('GET', target_str, sync);	
	if(sync==false){
		xhr.onreadystatechange = function () {
			if (xhr.status === 200) {
				try{ var ii =JSON.parse(xhr.responseText);} catch (exception) { }
				if(ii){	return ii; }else{ alert(xhr.responseText); return false; }
			} else {
					alert(xhr.status+'  '+target_str);return false;
			}
		};
		xhr.send(null);
	}else{
		xhr.send(null);
		try{ var ii =JSON.parse(xhr.responseText);} catch (exception) { }
		if(ii){ return ii; }else{ alert(xhr.responseText); return false; }
	}
}

now if I alert(ii) on success the data I am looking for (specifically ii.content) shows up in the alert as expected
however when calling from another javascript function, ii is false ???? please explain,

Code:

function call_change_val(fld,vm_id){
	var str='?_f=load_edit_fld&_ctl_fld='+fld+'&vm_id='+vm_id+'&fld='+fld+'&width=80';
	i = xhr_get('ajax/val_main_loader.php'+str,true);

    //////////////////////    alert(i); or alert(i.content) here both give be a blank popup/////////////////

	showdiv('c_change_'+fld);
	setih('c_change_'+fld,i.content);
}

I expected alert(i) to say Object or similar, getting nothing

Hello! I am trying to find a script that allows you to open multiple browser tabs and then close each of those tabs, either one by one or all at once.

Does anyone know how to do this please?

Thanks so much for your help.

I want to have another go at Javascript. I have several books on the subject but I find that my eyesight is a major problem. Therefore I want to try an on-line solution, preferably free.

I have Googled, but there are so many that I am almost dizzy with the choices.

Perhaps someone could recommend one. Not too fussy visually. My knowledge is VERY basic.

Does anyone know how to make URL links that use Javascript still work when
users have Javascript disabled on their browser?

The only reason I'm using JS on a URL is because my link opens a PDF file, and I'm forcing it not to cache so users have the latest version.

I tried the <script><noscript> tags, but I'm not sure if I'm using it
correctly, as my URL completely disappears.

Below is my HTML/Javascript code:

<p class="download">
<script type="text/javascript">document.write("<span
style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"javascript:void(0);\"
onclick=\"window.open(
'http://www.webchild.com.au/mediakit/Direct_Media_Kit_Web.pdf?nocache='+
Math.floor( Math.random()*11 ) );\" >The Child Magazines Media
Kit</a></span> (PDF 1 MB) ");</script>
<noscript><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a
href="http://www.webchild.com.au/mediakit/Direct_Media_Kit_Web.pdf"
>The Child Magazines Media Kit</a></span> (PDF 1 MB)</noscript>
</p>


Thanks for any help,

Hi,

I have the following code snippet:
test.html
======
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
var testVariable = "test";
</script>
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript" src="test.js">
</script>

test.js
=====
var testVariable = window.top.testVariable;

In firefox, I'm able to access testvariable defined within test.html in test.js.

But in chrome, test.js couldnot get the window.top.testVariable field defined in test.html.

Can any one please let me know how i can make it work in chrome?. Am i missing something here?.

I want to insert this js snippet
Code:

function addText(smiley) {
    document.getElementById('message').value += " " + smiley + " ";
    document.getElementById('message').focus();
    return false;
}

to a loaded iframe with name&id chtifrm. I can access it & change embed something in its html via using something like:

Code:

 $(parent.chtifrm.document.body).append('<div id=\"smly\" style=\"cursor:pointer;float:left;top:200px;display:none;position:absolute;\"><\/div>');

....
Code:

parent.chtifrm.document.getElementById('chatbox_option_disco').style.display == 'none'

but how do I insert js in the head of loaded iframe?

Hi Guys I am trying to modify the functionality of my page. I want to be able to activate this piece of code using another javascript function.

This is the code I want to activate:

Code:

<script type="text/javascript"><!--
$('#button-cart').bind('click', function() {
	$.ajax({
		url: 'index.php?route=checkout/cart/update',
		type: 'post',
		data: $('.product-info input[type=\'text\'], .product-info input[type=\'hidden\'], .product-info input[type=\'radio\']:checked, .product-info input[type=\'checkbox\']:checked, .product-info select, .product-info textarea, .date_data input[type=\'text\']'),
		dataType: 'json',
		success: function(json) {
			$('.success, .warning, .attention, information, .error').remove();
			
			if (json['error']) {
				if (json['error']['warning']) {
					$('#notification').html('<div class="warning" style="display: none;">' + json['error']['warning'] + '<img src="catalog/view/theme/default/image/close.png" alt="" class="close" /></div>');
				
					$('.warning').fadeIn('slow');
				}
				
				for (i in json['error']) {
					$('#option-' + i).after('<span class="error">' + json['error'][i] + '</span>');
				}
			}	 
						
			if (json['success']) {
				$('#notification').html('<div class="success" style="display: none;">' + json['success'] + '<img src="catalog/view/theme/default/image/close.png" alt="" class="close" /></div>');
					
				$('.success').fadeIn('slow');
					
				$('#cart_total').html(json['total']);
				
				$('html, body').animate({ scrollTop: 0 }, 'slow'); 
			}	
		}
	});
});
//--></script>

And this is how I want the format of the function to be:

function testsession() {
if there is a session called 'hiredate' {
activate the script above
}
else {
var el = document.getElementById("product_data");
}
}


I just dont know how to write this in javascript

Could you help me if possible please

Hey,
I've got to make the values of some textboxes change the co-ordinates of my sprite on a canvas and havent a clue on how to do it,

Here is my form with the two textboxes and submit button:
<form>
x: <input type="text" name="x" /><br />
y: <input type="text" name:"y" /><br />
<input type="submit" value="Submit"/><br />
</form>

And i need it so that they change the values of these:

//this shows where my sprite will start on the canvas
var block_x;
var block_y;
searched the internet for hours and cant really find anything i understand or works.
any help is much appreciated

I got an index.php
Code:

<html>

<form action="bacakomik.php" method='post'>
<select name="kodekomik">
<option value='../komik1/|23'>Judul Komik1</option>
<option value="../komik2/|20">Judul Komik2</option>
<option value="../komik3/|10">Juduk Komik3</option>
<option value="../komik4/|20">Judul Komik4</option>
</select>
<input type="submit" />
</form>
<?php
echo ('<select>');
echo ('<option value= "'.$i.'">'.'Page '.$i.'</option>');
echo ('</select>');
?>
</html>

As you can see, each of the option brings specific value "../komik1/|23"
komik1 is a directory
| is a delimiter
23 is the pages in one chapter and can be considered also as how many images are there on a specific directory

This is my bacakomik.php
Code:

<?php
$dirkomik = $_POST['kodekomik'];
$exploded = explode("|", $dirkomik);
echo ($exploded[0]); //picture directory
echo ("<br>");
echo ($exploded[1]); //total page in the comic
$pagecount = (int)$exploded[1];
//Take last posted value, process it right away
echo ('<FORM name="guideform"> ');
echo ('<select name="guidelinks">');
$i=1;
do  {
echo ('<option value= "'.$i.'">'.'Page '.$i.'</option>');
$i= $i+1;
}while($i <= $pagecount); //Printing option and select
echo ("</select>");
?>
<input type="button" name="go" value="Go!" onClick="document.getElementById('im').src=document.guideform.guidelinks.options[document.guideform.guidelinks.selectedIndex].value+'.png';"> </FORM>
<img src="img0.jpg" id="im">

With the current code on bacakomik.php, I only can change the img src of id "im" in the same directory only. What I want is that the Javascript could "add" the "$exploded[0]" variable so that the picture can be loaded from different directory. Anyone can do this?
I believe that the fix should be somewhere on input tag inside OnClick, or do you know where?

Anyway, I found this on the net

Please help me to those who can...

All --

I have a JavaScript config file called gameSetting.js which contains a bunch of variables which configures a particular game.

I also have a shared JavaScript library which uses the variables in gameSetting.js, which I include like so:

<script type="text/javascript" src="gameSetting.js" ></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="gameLibrary.js" ></script>

In gameSetting.js I have:

$(document).ready(function()
{
// call some functions / classes in gameLibrary.js
}

in Firefox, Safari, and Chrome, this works fine. However, in IE, when it's parsing gameSetting.js, it complains that the functions that live in gameLibrary.js aren't defined. When it gets to parsing gameLibrary.js, the variables in gameSetting.js are reported as not being defined.

I've tried dynamically bootstrapping the gameLibrary file using this function in document.ready for dynamic load...

$.getScript("gameLibrary.js");

However, the same problem still happens in IE, where when it parses the files individually it's not taking into context the file/variables that came before, so it's not an out of load order problem.

My options a

1) collapsing all the functions in gameLibrary.js and variables in gameSetting.js into one file. However, this is not practical because this is dealing with literally hundreds of games, and having a gameLibrary.js in ONE location for ONE update is what makes most logical sense.

2) figure out a way to get this to work where variables in file1 are accessible to file2 in IE (as it seems they are in other browsers).

jQuery seems to be able to have multiple plugins that all refer to the based jQuery-1.3.2.js, so I know there is a way to get this to work.

Help appreciated.

I wrote a log function that took note of various function calls. Thinking that functions are first class objects, and objects have properties, I made the name of each logged function a property of that function, e.g., brightenInnerPara.name = "brightenInnerPara";

Every browser I tried (Firefox, MSIE, Opera, Chrome, Safari) accepted the assignment, no problem. In Firefox and MSIE, the result was what I wanted:
brightenInnerPara.name == "brightenInnerPara"

But in the others, the result was: brightenInnerPara.name == null

Question 1. Which Javascript is correct here?

I favor Firefox and MSIE, not merely because they were willing to give me what I wanted, but also because it makes no sense to accept an assignment statement without throwing an error and then give it a null semantics, like Chrome, Opera, and Safari did.

I found a workaround, using assignments like this: brightenInnerPara.prototype.name = "brightenInnerPara";

To my surprise, that worked in every browser. But I don't know why. It seems that such assignments are enough to cause each function to have its own distinct prototype.

Question 2. Just how inefficient is my workaround, and why does it work?

Hi. I am cool man. Can someone tell me how has the application of JavaScript improved the user experience of website?
