JavaScript - Date Function

So I want this function to return the date in the format: 4-Jan-2011. I feel like I have to make the variables strings or something but I can't figure it out, I'm kinda new to javascript.

Code:

function calander(TheDay) {
                var theDate = new Date();
                var day = new theDate.getDay();
                var month = new theDate.getMonth();
                var year = new theDate.getFullYear();
                
                if (month == 0) {month = "Jan";}if (month == 1) { month = "Feb"; }
                if (month == 2) { month = "March"; }if (month == 3) { month = "April"; }
                if (month == 4) { month = "May"; }if (month == 5) { month = "June"; }
                if (month == 6) { month = "July"; }if (month == 7) { month = "Aug"; }
                if (month == 8) { month = "Sept"; }if (month == 9) { month = "Oct"; }
                if (month == 10) { month = "Nov"; }if (month == 11) { month = "Dec"; }

                TheDay.value = day + "-" + month + "-" + year;
}

Not sure if this is possible in javascript:

I'm looking for two different dates (bill date and due date) on an invoice that are captured by OCR. If one of them exists, but the other does not, I want the empty field to be 14 days before (or after) the other.

For example:
if the bill date is 7/27/2010 and the due date was not captured, I want to set the due date as 8/10/2010 (14 days after the bill date).

If the due date was captured as 8/10/2010, but the due date is blank, I want to assign the bill date as 7/27/2010 (14 days before the due date).

if both dates have values, do nothing.

Thanks.

Hi,

I've inherited a Form which calculates a future date based on a calculation and then inserts today's date and the future date into a database. The day part of the date is formatted as a number. This is fine, but up to 9 the numbers display in single figures with no leading zeros. I want them to display leading zeros (e.g. 01, 02, 03, 04, 05, 06, 07, 08, 09, 10, 11... 30, 31)

So;
1/12/2010 is NOT wanted
01/12/2010 IS wanted

The inherited code originally set the Month names as "Jan", "Feb" etc, and it was easy to kludge these to 01, 02... 12, but I suspect there's a more elgant solution to this as well, this bit of the code works so it's not as vital to neaten this but my database needs dd/mm/yyyy format (it's a third party email program).

Code:

 </script>

<script type="text/javascript">
var todaysDate = new Date();

function updateExpiryDate(){

	var weeklyMileage = document.getElementById('AvWeeklyMileage').value;
	var expiryDate;
	var weeks = 0;
	var expiryDateString = '';

	if (!isNaN(parseInt(weeklyMileage))){
		weeks = 700/weeklyMileage;
		expiryDate = new Date(todaysDate.getTime() + (1000 * 3600 * 24 * 7 * weeks));

		var expiryDateString = expiryDate.getDate() + '/' + getMonthString(expiryDate.getMonth()+1) + '/' + expiryDate.getFullYear();

		document.getElementById('expiryDate').innerHTML = expiryDateString;
		document.getElementById('ShoeExpiryDate').value = expiryDateString;
	} else {
		document.getElementById('ShoeExpiryDate').value = '';
		document.getElementById('expiryDate').innerHTML = 'Please enter a valid weekly average mileage'
	}

}

function getMonthString(monthNumber){
	var monthString = "";
	switch(monthNumber){
		case 1:
			monthString = "01";
			break;
		case 2:
			monthString = "02";
			break;
		case 3:
			monthString = "03";
			break;
		case 4:
			monthString = "04";
			break;
		case 5:
			monthString = "05";
			break;
		case 6:
			monthString = "06";
			break;
		case 7:
			monthString = "07";
			break;
		case 8:
			monthString = "08";
			break;
		case 9:
			monthString = "09";
			break;
		case 10:
			monthString = "10";
			break;
		case 11:
			monthString = "11";
			break;
		case 12:
			monthString = "12";
			break;
		default:
			// do nothing;
	}
	return monthString;
}

function setTodaysDate(){
	var todaysDateString = todaysDate.getDate() + '/' + getMonthString(todaysDate.getMonth()+1) + '/' + todaysDate.getFullYear();
	document.getElementById('todaysDate').innerHTML =todaysDateString;
	document.getElementById('DateOfPurchase').value = todaysDateString;

}

Can someone point me in the right direction please?

I have a drop down menu where people can select a month, day and year. Based on their selection, I want to show them an image.

If their selection is >= July 26, 2010 but <= July 25, 2011, show the red image;
If their selection is >= July 26, 2011 but <= July 25, 2012, show the white image;
If their selection is >= July 26, 2012 but <= July 25, 2013, show the blue image;
If their selection is >= July 26, 2013 but <= July 25, 2014, show the yellow image;

I don't know how to compare a selected date to a range of dates like this.

Hello,

I really need your help with one.

How can I use the following code below to save the date from my popup window datepicker back into a var and relay it back onto its parent page?

I can't seem to figure this out:

Code:

<html>



<head>

<script>
	
	function open_cal() {
	

  var str_html	= 	""
  				+	"<!DOCTYPE html>\n"
				+	"<html lang=\"en\">\n"
				+	"<head>\n"
				+	"<meta charset=\"utf-8\">\n"
				+	"<title>CALENDAR</title>\n"
				+	"<link href=\"jq/jquery-ui.css\" rel=\"stylesheet\" type=\"text/css\">\n"
				+	"<script src=\"jq/jquery.min.js\" type=\"text/javascript\"></" + "script>\n" 
				+	"<script src=\"jq/jquery-ui.min.js\" type=\"text/javascript\"></" + "script>\n"
				+	"<script src=\"jq/datepicker.js\" type=\"text/javascript\"></" + "script>\n"
				+	"</head>\n"
				+	"<body>\n"
				+	"<div id=\"text\" style=\"font: bold 10pt Tahoma\">Enter Approval Date:</div>\n"
  				+	"<div id=\"datepicker\"></div>\n"
  				+	"</body>\n"
  				+	"</html>"
  				
var j = window.open("","CALENDAR","width=200,height=250,status=no,resizable=yes,top=200,left=200")
	j.opener = self;
	j.document.write(str_html);
}


</script>	
	

		
</head>

<body>

<input onclick="open_cal()" type="button" value="Open" name="B1">


</body>

</html>

Datepicker.js:
Code:

$(function() {
	
		$( "#datepicker" ).datepicker({ 
		
		dateFormat: 'dd/mm/yy',
		
		onSelect: function(dateText, inst) { 
		alert(dateText)
		window.close()
		
		} 
		
		})
		
		
		
		
});

Any help with this is greatly and mostly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Cheers,

Using Adobe Form Javascript validation, how would I do this code for Visual Basic in Javascript (non web)

Code:

If PurchaseDate.Value > Date Then
MsgBox ("PurchaseDate cannot be greater than Today's Date!")
Cancel = True
End If

Something along these lines but this isnt working:

Code:

If (PurchaseDate.Value > Date) Then 
{
app.alert ("Purchase Date cannot be greater than Today's Date!");
}

Thanks

Hi,

I am facing a problem in passing replace() function as an argument in user defined java function, can any one help me how to resolve it?

intention is to pass a file path to my user defined function, but before passing the path i want to replace the character '\' to '\\'

I am posting my javascript function he

<a href="#" onclick="OpenDocPreview('<%# Eval("PATH")%>'.replace(/\\/g,"\\\\"), '<%# Eval("Filename")%>')"><%# Eval("DocTitle") %></a>


function OpenDocPreview(url, docname) {
alert('message from search base : ' + url + ' ' + docname);
}

thank you,

I was working on a tutorial for some ajax uploading stuff and I ran across a new function syntax I don't recognize. I am not a Javascript pro, but I am not a newbie either. here is the code I am working on:

Code:

		function handleFileSelect(e){
			var files = e.target.files;
			var output = [];
			for(var i=0,f;f=files[i];i++){
				if(f.type.match('image.*')){
					var reader = new FileReader();
					
					reader.onload = (function(theFile){
						return function(e){
							var span = document.createElement('span');
							span.innerHTML = ['<img class="thumb" src="',e.target.result,'" title="',theFile.nbame,'" />'].join('');
							document.getElementById('list').insertBefore(span,null);
						};
					})(f);
					
					reader.readAsDataURL(f);
				}
			}
			document.getElementById('list').innerHTML = '<ul>'+output.join('')+'</ul>';
		}
		document.getElementById('files').addEventListener('change',handleFileSelect,false);

To be a little more clear, the code in question is that is the very middle. The syntax I don't understand is:

Code:

class.event = (function(arguments){
     //stuff you put in a function...
})(more Arguments?);

I tried to customize a simple one to learn for myself and I wrote this:

Code:

var a = 'A';
var b = 'B';

test = (function(t){
     alert(t);
     alert(b);
})(b);

test(a);

The browser would alert 'B' and that's it. The console would tell me that 'test is not a function.' OK, so I am confused.

The topmost code works. What I am wondering is what the syntax is called for creating a function (or event listener?) that way, and how it works. Although if I new what it was called I could just google how it works.

i keep getting error Call to undefined function codeandurl()

below is my code
PHP Code:
<?php

$value= strip_tags(get_field('link',$post));
$resultid=get_field('resultid',$post);
codeandurl($resultid,$value); 
?>
<div id="result"></div> 

<script type="text/javascript">
function codeandurl(resultid,url){
$( "#result" ).text(resultid);        
      $( "#result" ).dialog({
    modal: true,
    buttons: {
    Ok: function() {
    $( this ).dialog( "close" );
    }
    }
});     
      window.open(url); 
      return false;
}
</script>

Hi!

I'm trying to toggle a class and one works and the other does not and I don't know why. I'm just getting my feet wet with jquery and javascript and I figured this was a pretty easy task to take on! Maybe.

Link to the page:
Franklin Township Soccer Club - Change Field Status

My sad, sorry attempt =|

Code:

	$( "li.open" ).click(function() {
	$( this ).toggleClass( "closed" );
	});
	
	$( "li.closed" ).click(function() {
	$( this ).toggleClass( "open" );
	});

The first function works with open, so I figured I'd just use opposite on closed! Ha! I don't think so!

In the end within those function there is an element in a form on that page it's hidden. I'd like to change the value from a 0 to 1 for vice versa. That' will be my next step. If you could give me a little nudge in the right direction I'd appreciate it! But first understanding why one works and the other does not, that is the primary mission!

I do appreciate any help given!

I found this script, and it works great:
Code:

<script type="text/javascript">
  function disable(element)
  {
    var input = document.getElementById(element).getElementsByTagName("input");
    for(var i = 0; i < input.length; i++)
    {
      input[i].setAttribute("disabled","true");
    }
  }
</script>

I tried to make the inverse by simply reversing the setAttribute() like so:
Code:

<script type="text/javascript">
  function enable(element)
  {
    var input = document.getElementById(element).getElementsByTagName("input");
    for(var i = 0; i < input.length; i++)
    {
      input[i].setAttribute("disabled","false");
    }
  }
</script>

But that didn't do it.
Can someone show me why, and how to fix it?

Here's the sample form which I'm trying to test it on:
Code:

<form>
  <input type="radio" name="test" onclick="disable('D1')" /> disable<br/>
  <input type="radio" name="test" onclick="enable('D1')" /> enable<br/>
  <fieldset id="D1">
    <input class="" type="text" value="test value1" /><input class="" type="text" value="test value2" /><br/>
    <input class="" type="text" value="test value3" /><input class="" type="text" value="test value4" /><br/>
    <input class="" type="text" value="test value5" /><input class="" type="text" value="test value6" /><br/>
  </fieldset>
</form>

Edit:
The ultimate goal which I'm working toward now (step by step =) is to have a form more like:
Code:

<form>
  <input type="radio" name="test" onclick="disable('D1')" />
  <fieldset id="D1">
    <input class="" type="text" value="test value1" /><input class="" type="text" value="test value2" />
  </fieldset>
  <input type="radio" name="test" onclick="disable('D2')" />
  <fieldset id="D2">
    <input class="" type="text" value="test value3" /><input class="" type="text" value="test value4" />
  </fieldset>
  <input type="radio" name="test" onclick="disable('D3')" />
  <fieldset id="D3">
    <input class="" type="text" value="test value5" /><input class="" type="text" value="test value6" />
  </fieldset>
</form>

And have the fieldsets enable and disable according the selection of the radio buttons.

Also, the fieldsets (and their ID's) will be dynamically generated via PHP

Hi All, I'm trying to convert an anonymous function to a real function (nesting is getting out of hand), however the msg object becomes undefined after conversion. Here is the converted anonymous function which fails: https://gist.github.com/2587613 and here is the original anonymous function which works: https://gist.github.com/2587667

Any help would be greatly appriciated
