JavaScript - Passing Javascript Menu Settings
Hello! I have a question about a concept I'm working with. I want to create an html page that displays several links to different pages on the site. The user would then be able to drag and drop these links into some sort of list. That part I have figured out. Once they've finished creating their list, they would be able to click on the links in the list. The question I have is this: if they click on a link in the list and go to that page, can their list again be displayed on the new page along with the items they added to it on the previous page? If this is a simple cookie thing, that is awesome. I can't utilize a database or anything server-side for this. HTML and javascript only. Any help would be hugely appreciated, as my programmer is out today.
Similar TutorialsI have a div whose CSS I'm setting as follows: Code: div.services_menu { display: none; position: absolute; top: 215px; left: 240px; overflow: hidden; } I also have a initPage function that gets called on pageload: Code: function initPage() { var menu = document.getElementById("services_menu"); var menuItems = menu.getElementsByTagName("div"); alert("top = " + menu.style.top); } The above CSS applies to menu. The alert box tells me: top = So menu.style.top is not set to anything even though I explicitely set it in my CSS. Why is this? Note: I've verified that menu.style.top is still blank even well after the page loads, just to be sure that it's not an issue with CSS being read/processed after the initPage script is read/processed. Hi, all New here and hoping you can help. I'm trying to figure out the correct event handler and syntax (and whether or not to use a header script) to pass the selected value from a dropdown menu back to PHP. In a nutshell, here's my process: PHP creates an HTML form containing a drop down menu populated with names and email addresses, email being the option value. This is followed by an input box where the user will select a name from the list, enter an amount into the input box, then submit the whole form with an image button, where this data will be passed back to PHP for insertion into the database. The amount portion works beautifully. I can hit the database every time. On the other hand, I cannot get the name/email selection from the drop down menu to be recognized no matter what I do. It tells me nothing is selected even when it is. Well, that isn't entirely true - the closest I've come was apparently screwing up a portion of the PHP code which generates the form and somehow received a Forbidden error when the form tried to link me to the email address. I've never been so happy to be forbidden - or receive an error - in my life. LOL At least that meant I was finally being heard, even if not in the way I want or need. I've tried onChange, onClick, onSubmit and can't seem to hit the right combo. Here's a look at one scenario of many that I've tried. I'd greatly appreciate it if you could steer me in the right direction! PHP to create form: PHP Code: $data = array('form' => draw_form('customer_dropdown', LINK_TO_ACTION, 'page=' . $_GET['page'] . '&action=newrecord'). html_entity_decode(draw_drop_down_menu('customers_email_address',$customers, $_GET['customer'], 'onSubmit="return dropdown(this.customers_email_address)"') .'<input type="hidden" name="selected_entry" value=""><input type="submit" value="" style="display: none;">')); HTML & Java: Code: <html> <head> <SCRIPT TYPE="text/javascript"> <!-- function dropdown(mySel) { var myWin, myVal; myVal = mySel.options[mySel.selectedIndex].value; if(myVal) { if(mySel.form.target)myWin = parent[mySel.form.target]; else myWin = window; if (! myWin) return true; myWin.location = myVal; } return false; } //--> </SCRIPT> </head> <form name="customer_dropdown" action="http://site.com/action.php?page=1&action=newrecord" method="post"><input type="hidden" name="securityToken" value="randomSequence01234567890"> <select rel="dropdown" name="customers_email_address" onSubmit="return dropdown(this.customers_email_address)"> <option value="" selected="selected">Please Select</option> <option value="email1@email.com">Lastname, Firstname (email1@email.com)</option> <option value="email2@email.com">Lastname, Firstname (email2@email.com)</option> <option value="email3@email.com">Lastname, Firstname (email3@email.com)</option> <option value="email4@email.com">Lastname, Firstname (email4@email.com)</option> <option value="email5@email.com">Lastname, Firstname (email5@email.com)</option> </select> <input type="hidden" name="selected_entry" value=""><input type="submit" value="" style="display: none;"> <table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2"> <tr> <td align="left" class="formContent"><br>Enter Amount:<br><input type="text" name="amount" value="0.00" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center" class="formContent"><br><input type="image" src="http://site.com/images/buttons/button_insert.gif" border="0" alt="Insert" title=" Insert "> <a href="http://site.com/action.php?page=1&gid="><img src="http://site.com/images/buttons/button_cancel.gif" border="0" alt="Cancel" title=" Cancel "></a></td> </tr> </table> </form> </html> Hello, I'm trying to pass a query from my URL into a <script> using Javascript.

I have a list of buttons, each with a different id which is taken from the ids of these values from the database. When I click one of the buttons it shows the items that correspond to this id in the database. Therefore, when different buttons are clicked the display changes to match the objects relating to this particular button. When a button is clicked, this shows various other objects which I can then select (using a checkbox). When a checkbox is clicked, a Javascript function is called to change the html text next to the appropriate button. However, I can't get this to work as I need to pass the id of the button, and the html span, to the Javascript in order to change the correct text. Here is my Javascript : Code: function questionnum(checkbox) { if(checkbox.checked) { var qdesNumElement = document.getElementById('<?php echo $q;?>'); var qdesNum = qdesNumElement.innerHTML; qdesNumElement.innerHTML = ++qdesNum; } This code only gets the last button. Please help. i've got a project to be done using javascript and html....i don't know how to pass the arguments from <input type="text"> to the javascript function i'm using in my program. i just want the javascript script to calculate the input given by the user and return the answer. here is the program: Code: <html> <head> <title> Taxi Fare </title> <script lang="text/javascript"> // calculates taxi fare based upon miles traveled // and the hour of the day in military time (0-23). var taxiFare = function (milesTraveled, pickupTime) { var baseFare = 2.50; var costPerMile = 2.00; var nightSurcharge = 0.50; // 8pm to 6am, every night var cost = baseFare + (costPerMile * milesTraveled); // add the nightSurcharge to the cost if it is after // 8pm or before 6am if (pickupTime >= 20 || pickupTime < 6) { cost += nightSurcharge; } return cost; }; </script> </head> <body> <form> <input type="text" onclick="taxiFare()" value="Call function"> <input type="Submit" value="OK" onclick="taxiFare()"> <input type="reset" value="Clear"> </form> <script type="text/javascript"> document.write("Your taxi fare is ₹" + taxiFare(5,2)); </script> </body> </html> pls it would be of great help.

I have a function in a separate .js file which accepts a parameter as follows: function initialize(menu){ alert(menu); } When I use the following javascript embedded in my HTML it doesn't work: <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="javascript"> <!-- window.onload = initialize('testMenu'); // --> </SCRIPT> Am I doing something wrong or is this not possible? Thanks for your help I am trying to pass a value using a parameter in html (asp) to a javascript function. When I try to pass a value inside of a variable <INPUT type="submit" value="Next Youth" name=button1 onclick="OnButton1(tst);"> it simply doesn't work (no error msg - just nothing) while if I put a value in the call <INPUT type="submit" value="Next Youth" name=button1 onclick="OnButton1('5393');"> it works fine. The javascript looks like this: function OnButton1(tst) { var pth = "youth_edit3.asp?cIndex=" + tst; document.YouthEdit.action = pth; document.YouthEdit.submit(); // Submit the page } I've set tst = "5393" but it won't work when I try to pass it. Only a literal value of '5393' works. What am I doing wrong? Thank you in advance. I need to style a checkbox, so I made it into two images behind a form with hidden inputs. On click the form takes input from the other form into the hidden fields and POSTs it. Then I use PHP to grab that POST and put it back into the original form. Here are some snippets of what I am trying to do: First form input: PHP Code: <input type="text" name="email" id="email1" value="<?php if(isset($_POST['email2'])) { echo $_POST['email2']; } ?>" style="height:25px;width:270px;" /> Second form input: PHP Code: <input type="hidden" name="email2" id="email2" /> Second form submit image button: PHP Code: <input type="image" src="img/Boxchecked.jpg" value="submit" onclick="fname2.value = fname1.value; lname2.value = lname1.value; email2.value = email1.value" width="20" height="20" /> The forms work fantastic on everything but IE, which does not save the field values. How do I fix the onclick event to save them in IE? Help is much appreciated. I have a concatenated list of posts like this: Code: <?php // this generates a list of divs with unique id's as $post_id's $my_posts .= ' <div class="storypost' . $post_id . '"> <a href="mystorypost.php?id=' . $post_id . '>' . $member_name . ' Post</a> <a href="#" onclick="DoAction(' . $mem_id . ', ' . $post_id . ');">Remove?</a> </div> '; ?> And here is the javascript/ajax, which sends the variables to the _removepost.php, in order to run that code, and delete the post from the database... Code: <script> function DoAction(mem_id, post_id) { var r = confirm('Are you sure you want to remove this post?'); if (r == true) { $.ajax({ type: "GET", url: "_removepost.php", data: "mem_id=" + mem_id + "&post_id=" + post_id, }); $(".storypost"+post_id).hide(); return false; } else { return; } } </script> So, the thing actually works (the post gets deleted from the database). But what does not work, is: 1) the div is not getting hidden via the .hide() 2) after I click the onClick link, the page scrolls back to the top of the page... and I have to end up reloading the page to see the change. I believe there is something wrong with where I placed the "return false;" and something wrong with how I call the variable in .hide(). I'm more of an actionscript person but got roped into an html/javascript job. What I need to do, and it shouldn't be that difficult is this: page1.html - there is a yellow button and a red button - if the user clicks on the yellow button I want to set a cookie with the value "yel" then load the next page - if they click the red button set that cookie with the value "red" page2.html - 'onload' i want to read that cookie and load up the main image to match, something like this maybe?... document.mainimage.src='img/main_' + variable + '.png' so that the path would be for example 'img/main_red.png' Any help please? Preferably javascript only and as simple as possible. If you think this would be easier sending that variable in the URL instead of as a cookie please explain. I'm having a very hard time searching for tutorials that are any good and that do exactly this kind of thing. Hi, I have a simple page and a javascript that measure the time the user has spent on a page and I want that variable to pass as a link to another page (php). I'm stuck (rookie) with how to actually pass that on in the link. Here's my code: Code: <?php session_start();?> <html> <head> <script type="text/javascript"> /* This script and many more are available free online at The JavaScript Source :: http://javascript.internet.com Created by: Cody Shaffer :: http://codytheking313.byethost11.com */ var time=1; function timeHere() { time = time + 1; finalTime = time / 10; } </script> </head> <body> <div id="container"> <form id="form1" method="post" action=""> <label>Fill this Data <input type="text" name="1" id="1" /> </label> <p> <label> <input type="submit" name="2" id="2" value="Submit" /> </label> </p> </form> <a href="go/index.html">ads</a> </div> </body> </html> Thanks for the help Hi all, I'm having some trouble with the this... I have a PHP based calendar where the cells will change color depending on the number of clicks.. this all works fine, but is pointless if I can't send the outcome along in an email. I can do this with PHP but first need to get the values into a hidden field. This is what I have: Code: <script type="text/javascript"> function countClicks (obj){ if (!obj.count) { obj.count = 0; } obj.count++; if (obj.count > 4) {obj.count = 1}; if(obj.count == 1){ obj.style.color='#FFFFFF'; obj.style.backgroundColor='#66CC33'; obj.parentNode.style.backgroundColor='#66CC33'; document.getElementById("availability").value='Available'; } if (obj.count == 2){ obj.style.color='#FFFFFF'; obj.style.backgroundColor='#FF0000'; obj.parentNode.style.backgroundColor='#FF0000'; document.getElementById("availability").value='Not Available'; } if (obj.count == 3){ obj.style.color='#FFFFFF'; obj.style.backgroundColor='#FFCC33'; obj.parentNode.style.backgroundColor='#FFCC33'; document.getElementById("availability").value='Working'; } if (obj.count == 4){ obj.style.color='#000000'; obj.style.backgroundColor='#FFFFFF'; obj.parentNode.style.backgroundColor='#FFFFFF'; document.getElementById("availability").value='Not Set'; } } </script> and... Code: echo "<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"availability\" id=\"availability\" value=\"\">"; All I'm trying to do is populate value with either 'available', 'not available', 'working' or 'not set'... however, it is worth noting that each cell may have a different value, e.g. 1 cell might be working while the other is not available... so i need to pass the values of all the cells. Can anyone help me out here. Many thanks, Greens85 |
