JavaScript - Modify A <script> Tag Content

I am using a content revealing script, it is functioning pefectly except for one small issue. I have the content being shown on mouseover, but I would not like it to display right away - i need a delay on the mouseover.
meaning that only if mouseover for a set time (say 3000ms.) it will show.
the purpose of this is to not accidently open the content when travelling with the mouse around the page.. the content will show ONLY if the user wants it to open it ie. holding the mouse on there for a few seconds.

The script I am using is from featured content slider.

contentslider.js

I marked areas of interest in the code in RED

Code:

//** Featured Content Slider script- (c) Dynamic Drive DHTML code library: http://www.dynamicdrive.com.
//** May 2nd, 08'- Script rewritten and updated to 2.0.
//** June 12th, 08'- Script updated to v 2.3, which adds the following features:
			//1) Changed behavior of script to actually collapse the previous content when the active one is shown, instead of just tucking it underneath the later.
			//2) Added setting to reveal a content either via "click" or "mouseover" of pagination links (default is former).
			//3) Added public function for jumping to a particular slide within a Featured Content instance using an arbitrary link, for example.

//** July 11th, 08'- Script updated to v 2.4:
			//1) Added ability to select a particular slide when the page first loads using a URL parameter (ie: mypage.htm?myslider=4 to select 4th slide in "myslider")
			//2) Fixed bug where the first slide disappears when the mouse clicks or mouses over it when page first loads.

//** Dec 20th, 12'- v 2.41: Fixed bug with slider failing to load if the same script is used on different pages with different # of contents

Hello,
Well I have script that claims that it loads the flash content while it is showing seconds or advertisement. So as I don't know about scripts I have no Idea if it actually do that or not as What I visually see is that it let flash content load once the seconds of disappears. So that's why I want an expert advice on it.
And how the seconds of this script works Only if this script actually do what It claims, then I would like to know when does it send alert to load the content (as I would like to put the alert from the start) and how to show it for more or less seconds.

Hi,

Im new to javascript. I want to add a similar function on my blog like on http://techcrunch.com/2011/08/04/gro...tartup-obtiva/ when you press on author. It is a drop down made with javascript. Anybody can help with a similar javascript as I was trying different implementations for the whole night with no luck.

Maybe, anybody know a similar javascript online which I could modify?

Thanks in advance!

Hello,

I'm creating a section for a school website that will list over 9,000 book titles in four different categories (by Title, by Author, by Book Level, and by Points).

The content is shown in a div and called and loaded via Ajax.

Here is the test page: http://www.gilchrist.leon.k12.fl.us/ar/artest.htmlAfter you click "Go" when the drop down menu is displaying By Book Title, the content loads in the div in a few moments.

Here is the content page that appears in the div after you click "Go":
http://www.gilchrist.leon.k12.fl.us/...tByAuthor.html

If possible, I need a "page loading..." script that will appear only after you click "Go" while the list of books is being loaded.

I've been testing different ones I've found online, but can't get any to work. Of course, I'm not even sure if the script would be added to artest.html, 1112-QuistListByTitle.html, or a combination of both...

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
Deborah

If you want preload images on several pages of your site do you need to preload all images of your whole site on each page or only the images of the actual page?

I am new to Java/AJAX and I am trying to create a script that will change content of a div.

My scenario I am using is an index page with the list.php script included in the div I want content changed in. The list.php script will pull 8 newest titles from mysql and list them in the div. When you click one of the titles it will redirect you to a new page created by story.php. I would like this to be contained inside the div I have currently have the list.php script in.

I have looked at several tutorials on AJAX to do this, but they always call a static html page. Since I am not using a static html page I do not think this solution would work for me.

How my list.php script works is as follows:

PHP Code:
// generate and execute query
$query = "SELECT id, title, timestamp FROM news ORDER BY timestamp DESC LIMIT 0, 8";
$result = mysql_query($query) or die ("Error in query: $query. " . mysql_error());

// if records present
if (mysql_num_rows($result) > 0)
{
// iterate through resultset
// print news titles
while($row = mysql_fetch_object($result))
{
?>
<b><font size="+2"><a href="story.php?id=<? echo $row->id; ?>"><? echo $row->title; ?></a></b></font>
<br>
<font size="-2"><center><? echo formatDate($row->timestamp); ?></center></font>
<p>
<?
}
}
// if no records present
// display message
else
{
?>
<font size="-1">No news is bad news</font>
<?
}

How my story.php script works is as follows:

PHP Code:
// generate and execute query
$query = "SELECT title, content, contact, timestamp FROM news WHERE id = '$id'";
$result = mysql_query($query) or die ("Error in query: $query. " . mysql_error());

// get resultset as object
$row = mysql_fetch_object($result);

// Show me the news
if ($row)
{
?>
<p>
<b><? echo $row->title; ?></b>
<p>
<font size="-1"><? echo nl2br($row->content); ?></font>
<p>
<font size="-2">Posted on <? echo formatDate($row->timestamp); ?>. By <? echo $row->contact; ?></font>
<?
}
else
{
?>
<p>
<font size="-1">That news post could is not found.</font>
<?
}

Hi, I'm new to Javascript, so bear with me.

I'm trying to use a script that replaces the contents of a div, based on div id's. I've gotten it to work how I want he

Any ideas?

I'd like to place an AJAX call to load another SELECT menu in my form, and I'm having trouble finding a tutorial.
Can someone point me to a good tute, or provide some guidance/examples here?

For your Copying/Pasting pleasure , here's an example button for which I'd include the onclick():
Code:

<button type="button" >Add</button>

And here's an example SELECT menu:
Code:

<select id="idNumber" name="weekday_1['workPeriod_new'][] >
	<option value="1" >one</option>
	<option value="2" >2</option>
</select>

Thanks-a-bunch,
~ Mo

NOTE: Overall, I'm pretty green in JS.

when someone selects a date it shows ok in the field but the checker script can not view it for some reason, i have an alert show the content, if i place the alert before everything it unblurs and the tick shows, but i have to click the alert off for the tick to show. The alert show nothing on the first run.

just a thought, but would the DOM not be updating quick enough for the next line to read the content ?

reason i ask is that with the alert line in the code it shows the previous state of the field when i change the date to something else.

Code:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">

<script type='text/javascript'>
function checkValidFormInput() {
redX = '<img alt="Invalid" src="images/redX.png" style="width: 18px;">';
greenTick = '<img alt="Valid" src="images/icongreentick.png">';


alert('.' + document.getElementsByName('j1date')[0].value + '.');

document.getElementsByName('j1date').blur();



		if (document.getElementsByName('j1date')[0].value == '') {
		document.getElementById('j1dateImg').innerHTML = redX;//
		} else {
		document.getElementById('j1dateImg').innerHTML = greenTick;//
		}

	}
</script>

</head>

<body>

<? // for some strange reason the following lines need to be here for the date picker to work! ?>
<table class="ds_box" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" id="ds_conclass" style="display: none;">
    <tr><td id="ds_calclass"></td></tr>
</table>
<script type="text/javascript" src="datetimepicker.js"></script>
<? // end of date picker storage ?>


<form method="POST" action="index.php">

<li class="value"> <input type="text" autocomplete="off" name="j1date" id="j1date" value="<?=$j1date;?>" style="width: 200px; float: left;" onClick="ds_sh(this);" onBlur="checkValidFormInput();"> <div style="float: left;" id="j1dateImg"></div><br style="clear:both"> </li>

</form>

</body>
</html>

attached is the datetimepicker.js
you will need to remove the last part .txt from the above file name

Hi. I have a bunch of textboxes that I need to run some JS on with onclick. However, no matter what I do, I cannot get it to work. I have this JS in an external file:
Code:

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
function ClearDefault () {
	if (document.this.value==document.this.defaultValue) 
	{
		document.this.value=''; 
		document.this.style.color='black'
	}
}
</script>

and am using onfocus="ClearDefault()"

Help please. Thanks. :-)

Hi need help with a loan calculator script, i know the moderator frowns on such requests but i just have to, im willing 2 buy a cup of coffee if it works, i want the code below to display the total loan repayment amount instead of the monthly payment payment = principle * monthly interest/(1 - (1/(1+MonthlyInterest)*Months)) , eg if if l0an is 20$ payment is in 4 months, intrest rate is 15% display = amount to be repaid. thanks

Code:

<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
function showpay() {
 if ((document.calc.loan.value == null || document.calc.loan.value.length == 0) ||
     (document.calc.months.value == null || document.calc.months.value.length == 0)
||
     (document.calc.rate.value == null || document.calc.rate.value.length == 0))
 { document.calc.pay.value = "Incomplete data";
 }
 else
 {
 var princ = document.calc.loan.value;
 var term  = document.calc.months.value;
 var intr   = document.calc.rate.value / 1200;
 document.calc.pay.value = princ * intr / (1 - (Math.pow(1/(1 + intr), term)));
 }

// payment = principle * monthly interest/(1 - (1/(1+MonthlyInterest)*Months))

}

// -->
</script>

The results of this loan payment calculator are for comparison purposes only.
They will be a close approximation of actual loan
repayments if available at the terms entered, from a financial institution. This
is being
provided for you to plan your next loan application. To use, enter values
for the
Loan Amount, Number of Months for Loan, and the Interest Rate (e.g.
7.25), and
click the Calculate button. Clicking the Reset button will clear entered
values.

I'm trying to create a form where the user enters data in a field and is redirected to a URL based on that entry - example: user enters 1234 and he is directed to mypage.com/1234/index.htm - if that folder does not exist it would give a 'try again' error.

Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks in advance

I need help making it possible for the prefixes to be available when the post is being Modify? The user have to go back and change their prefixes to ended after they get the result for the outcome of the buy, sell, trade. When I hit Modify the prefix box was no longer available.

It is on the subject line when I hit modify:
Example. I have a thread title "Testing" and I chose Buy prefix when I started the thread. When I hit Modify, the prefix box is no longer available but the subject does say Buy:Testing. I would have to go and delete the Buy from the subject and manually type Ended.

And also each prefixes a specific color if that's possible (i.e., Buy , Sell , Trade , Ended )

The prefix box now is below the subject line. I would love for it to be next to the subject line like in this forum. THANKS!

<script type='text/javascript'>
/* Add prefixes to posts*/

var prefixes = ['Buy:','Sell:','Trade:','Ended:'];
