JavaScript - Issue Of Blind Data Entry

I'm making 2 sites and need a visitor who lands on the home page of either site to first be shown a page that shows a company introduction and 2 links at the bottom so they can choose which division of the site (which website) they want to go to.

Does anyone know of any pre-made java or other code that would allow for this? So that a visitor doesn't get stuck in a cycle of being taken from one home page to the other and having the pop-up every time, I'm thinking it will likely need to write a cookie saying they've seen the pop up, then it won't appear again.
Each site would then have to check for a cookie from either site.

Does anyone have any ideas on how to make this work? I'm open to anything and have to have it done by friday

I have a script that needs extra variables added, but need some help on how to do it. I need a textbox to add shipping charges, and also a text box to add sales tax. Then these 2 amounts need to be added to the grand total. Any help appreciated.

The link below is to the page that has the form and code:

http://spectrum-enterprise.com/sm/smorder.html

Not sure where the best place to post this would be...but what would be the best way (if at all) to go about writing a program that would automate data entry (from an excel spreadsheet) into an online database.

I've been doing them one by one for the past couple of weeks...only have about 10,000 left...any help would be much appreciated thanks

I created an array, whose entries looks like this:

[41, "The bird flew into it's cage"]
[33, "He drew fire from Joe"]
[33, "Roger asked her her name"]
[2, "I am awfully happy"] .

I want to pull the sentence item
out of some array entries.
E.g., in the second entry,
namely, arrayName[1],
what I thought was the
second item (the sentence),
I could manage by invoking
arrayName[1][1] .

But to my dismay,
this doesn't do the trick.
arrayName[1][1] actually delivers up
the second CHARACTER of the
entry (the number "3").

I thought the comma between
the number and the sentence would
separate the items, although I
"pushed" each entry into the array
as one single entry.

How do I "grab" the whole sentence?
How do I push both items separately
to achieve "one entry"?

Now I cannot get this code working. At the moment it needs to just update the table with the message and the user id ($uid) but it will not, the status does not return as "200", which the IF statment checks.

AJAX:
Code:

function sendMessage() {
	if (sendReq.readyState == 4 || sendReq.readyState == 0) {
		var url = "scripts/get_data.php?uid=<?=$uid?>";
		sendReq.open("POST", url, true);
		sendReq.setRequestHeader('Content-Type','application/x-www-form-urlencoded');
		sendReq.onreadystatechange = sendReset; 
		var param = 'message=' + document.getElementById('txt_message').value;
		param += '&chat=1';
		sendReq.send(param);
		if (sendReq == 4 || sendReq == 200) {
			document.getElementById('txt_message').value = '';
		}
	}
}

PHP Code:
//Send message
if (isset($_POST['message']) && $_POST['message'] != '') {
    //Variables
    $chat = mysql_real_escape_string($_GET['chat']);
    $message = mysql_real_escape_string($_GET['message']);
    
    $query = "INSERT INTO message (chat_id, post_uid, recipient_uid, message, post_time) VALUES (1, ".$sid.", 4, ".$message.", date)";
    mysql_query($query);
} 


And here is the form if you want to see it:
Code:

 <form id="frmmain" name="frmmain" onsubmit="">
      <input type="button" name="btn_get_message" value="Refresh Chat" onclick="getMessage()" />
      <input type="button" name="btn_reset_chat" id="btn_reset_chat" value="Reset Chat" onclick="resetChat()" />
      <br />
      <input type="text" id="txt_message" name="txt_message" style="width: 447px; color:#000000;" />
      <input type="button" name="btn_send_message" id="btn_send_message" value="Send" onclick="sendMessage()" />
    </form>

I am using an example of this kind of feature to reference to, and I don't understand how the param is being sent to the server, is it being added to the URL?

URL before param:
scripts/get_data.php?uid=3

after param has been sent (changes in dark orange):
scripts/get_data.php?uid=3 message=message goes here&chat=1

If so then I am guessing that the var param should look like this(change in red):
Code:

var param = ' & message=' + document.getElementById('txt_message').value;
		param += '&chat=1';
		sendReq.send(param);

Hi, I am trying to make an entry confirmation form. This is going to be used as a disclaimer for my website. How can I make this to where it only shows on the main page and not every page a user goes to on my website?

<script>
var enter=confirm("examples insert text")
if (!enter)
window.location="http://www.google.com"
</script>

<script language="javascript">
function splitNumber()
{alert("inside splitnumber");

var x = parseInt(document.getElementById("value1").value);
var z = x%10; /*units*/
var y = (x - z)/10; /*tens*/
var c = parseInt(document.getElementById("value3").value);
var a = c%10; /*units*/
var b = (c - a)/10; /*tens*/


for(var i=0;i<=z;i++)
{
var parseInt(document.getElementById("u1").td.value);
for(((document.getElementById("u1").td.value))=0;((document.getElementById("u1").td.value))<=i;((doc ument.getElementById("u1").td.value))++)
{
document.write("<td> " +document.getElementById("u1").td.value +"</td>")
}
}
}
</script>



/*this is the code i write for generating unique values in the table cells, but it is not working*/

I'm a fairly new ColdFusion developer and a true Javascript newbie, so gentleness please!

I have a CF application that accepts two dates. The first date - Out Date - is required. The second date - Return Date - is optional, but if populated, must be equal to or greater than the Out Date. Here's the screen & code:




<script type="text/javascript">
function compareDate()
{ if(document.editleave.temp_ret_date.value != "01/01/0001")
if(document.editleave.temp_ret_date.value < document.editleave.temp_out_date.value)
alert("Scheduled Through Date cannot be earlier than the Scheduled Out Date!");
setFormFocus(document.editleave.temp_ret_date);
}
</script>

<cfinput type="datefield"
name="temp_out_date"
id="temp_out_date"
value="#DateFormat(Now(), 'mm/dd/yyyy')#"
validate="date"
ValidateAt="onBlur,onSubmit"
message="Please enter a valid date in MM/DD/CCYY format."
size="6"
maxlength="10">




<cfinput type="datefield"
name="temp_ret_date"
id="temp_ret_date"
value="01/01/0001"
ValidateAt="onBlur,onSubmit"
message="Please enter a valid date in MM/DD/CCYY format."
onBlur="compareDate();"
size="6"
maxlength="10">



Everything works fine....EXCEPT...if the Return Date is invalid, I cannot click on the calendar box to select a date (or open another browser session). Basically, IE is locked up until the user manually types in a valid date.

This ain't good.

I want to be able to trap the error, just like I have, but I still want the calendar selection box to be usable.

Is it possible to "reset" the error condition after the intial warning to only trigger on the onSubmit parameter?

Anyone have any free code that will query a google calendar and then take the calendar entry and turn it into a message crawl?

Having trouble figuring out how to do this...I can get the particular entry by name but I can't randomly select one from the several because it's a string and not a number....
Code:

var newOre = 0;

var ore = {
"iron" : 5,
"silver" : 3,
"gold" : 2,
"platinum" : 1
}

var userOre = {
"iron" : 0,
"silver" : 0,
"gold" : 0,
"platinum" : 0
}

Code:

function getAnotherOre () {
newOre = ore[Math.floor(Math.random() * ore.length)];
userOre += newOre;
}

The random() is for an array, tried to use it here and returns 0 every time because the key in the key:value pair is a "string", though if I'm reading it right, it is trying to get a random number based off the length of the table, so why doesn't it do that?

Ideally I want it to increment a corresponding hash table of users Ores...so if you randomly get a iron, it adds 5 to the users "iron" entry.

I had a for loop, but I only need to randomly generate 1 entry result each time called so do I need to loop through things or can I just randomly get a key:value pair back and append that to the userOre table???????

AM I APPROACHING THIS WRONG FOR WHAT I WANT TO DO?

Any ideas or link to documentation? I'm searching.....

I can get the individual value of a field manually: console.log("keyName"); which will output the right number, but how do I get a random("keyName") and once I figure that out I probably would append("correspondingName", value) to the other table...

Basically, functionally I just want to randomly get one of several values when the function is called. I guess I could make global variables for each type of ore, then just manually increment a random one some other way...

This is for a html5 game where when you collide with a "mine" it triggers the function but I want it to randomly give various types of ore instead...Maybe I'm going about it wrong...

Maybe it's easier just to declare 10 different global variables (assuming 10 ore types) and randomly give a number 0-10 of each every time the function is called......?

Hi Guys,

I am trying to make a function that will search for a substring, in this case 'http://instagr.am/p/' within a text area on a form then add '[embed]' & '[/embed]' tags around it.

I have currently got the following code

Code:

<script type='text/javascript'> 
	function show_alert() {
		str = formname.elements['inputid'].value;
		arr = (str.split(' ') + '<br />'); 
		jQuery.each(arr, function() {
			if (arr.indexOf('http://instagr.am/p/') >= 0) {
				alert('An http://instagr.am/p/ link has been found');
				//alert('It is entry ... in the array');
				//Then edit the entry 
			}
		}
		);
	} 
</script>

This breaks the contents of the textarea (at spaces) into an array then finds any entries with 'http://instagr.am/p/' in them (could be 'http://instagr.am/p/29fdghHdv').

Once it has found any and all of these entries it will add an '[embed]' code to the beginning and an '[/embed]' tag at the end.

Example...

http://instagr.am/p/vuHdeyfa2
is converted to:
'[embed]http://instagr.am/p/vuHdeyfa2[/embed]'

Then the changes must reflected in the textarea input

"formname.elements["textareaid"].value = editedstring;


Thankyou for your assistance.

I have created this form. I would like to use javascript to mail the form to the selected email from the selection list when the submit button is pressed.
could anyone help with this?

<form name="Contact Us" id="contact" action="mailto:" method="post">
<fieldset id="selection">
Who would you like to email:
<select>

<option value="email1" >email1</option>
<option value="email2" >email2</option>
<option value="email3">email3</option>
</select>
<fieldset id="Name" >
Name
<input type="text" id="firstname" name="firstname">
E-mail
<input type="text" id="email" name="email">
</fieldset>
<fieldset id="question">
Comments and Questions
<input type="text" id="comment" name="comment" style="width: 500; height: 300">
</fieldset>
</form>

I wish to have my form update a text field when a 'add' link or button is clicked, allow for more entries to be added without having the page refresh.

but i need to be able to have both the friends name and their number added to the field like so

if friends name is say 'jason' and their number is '0987654321' then it will add to the textarea like so.

jason [0987654321]

this way i should be able to get the data and split it up when the form is send so i can add them in the DB.

the part i am stuck on is how to get both fields in the textarea. allowing for more to be added without a refresh.

can anyone suggest how they might do this.

I have an options list that is generated from a database. It currently has ~125 options in it.

I've received the request that the user be able to either enter the corresponding number or select the option from the list.

How can I update the "selected" attribute in the options list based on a number that may be entered in another text entry box?

Dear all,

attached is a page for my website to allow visitors to purchase photos.

It is made from 2 Paypal example scripts - one for the form and another for an additional text box. It works fine apart from one detail, the text being entered does not get sent - instead, the information it forwards is
"6x4 Colour Prints. Item Number id10"

The "6x4 Colour prints" bit is good - the "Item number id10" is where I'd ideally like to see the custom text being entered and the guys at Paypal developer forums have said that a Javascript command is overriding the text being forwarded and to seek advice from those who know Javascript.

I've tried for a day by trial and error to see if I can take this command out but it has got to the hair pulling out stage so I'm calling on those who know best to cast a wise eye over the code and see if there is an easy fix to this.

Any help or suggestions as to howe to alter this will be most gratefully received.

Thanks in advance,
Dave.
