JavaScript - Reg X Strip Leading Trailing Carriage Returns?

I have the following which returns the date in the format I need it in but it does not have the leading zero's

Code:

var wholeDate = getTheDay();

function getTheDay(){

	var d = new Date();
	var year = d.getFullYear();
	var numMonth = d.getMonth() + 1;
	var day = d.getDate();
	var whole = year + '-' + numMonth + '-' + day;
	alert(whole);
	return whole;

}

Would return todays date as 2012-1-5

How do I get the date returned like

2012-01-05 ?

Is there any way to use javascript to strip codes or text from a webpage.

Code:

<script type="text/javascript" src="external.php?type=js"></script> 
<script language="" type="text/javascript">
<!--
for (x = 0; x < 10; x++)
{
document.writeln("<a href=\"showthread.php?t="+threads[x].threadid+"\">"+threads[x].title+"</a>, ");
}
//-->
</script>

My code will display 10 posts, however at the very end it will display an extra ", " which bugs me. How can I strip those last two characters.

I'm using forum with bb rich text editor, the problem that sometimes when a user copy and paste content, there ere extra codes that are not supported like:

Code:

[highlight=#ff0000][/highlight] 
[blockquote][/blockquote] 
[CENTER ALIGN=CENTER][/CENTER ALIGN]

Can you help me to write a script that automatically reformat the html content when pasted and only keeps specified tags like [img],[url],[b], defined in array ...

If it is not possible to reformat content when paste, I can add a button to the editor and call that function to format the content and return plain text with a specific tags.

I tried this script:
Code:

function removeHtmlTag(strx){ 
	if(strx.indexOf("[")!=-1)
	{
		var s = strx.split("["); 
		for(var i=0;i<s.length;i++){ 
			if(s[i].indexOf("]")!=-1){ 
				s[i] = s[i].substring(s[i].indexOf("]")+1,s[i].length); 
			} 
		} 
		strx =  s.join(""); 
	}
	return strx+''; 
}

It made to strip html tags, I replaced <> with [], It removes all tags and don't put space instead of the removed tags,

example: Code:

hello[h1]Name[/h1]

Will be like : helloName ???

I got an idea to make a stupid trick, like converting [IMG] to {IMG} and run that function and re convert {IMG} to [IMG] ...

Please help, I'm not good in Regular Expressions.

Thanks for your time,
Regards.

There is a comment section on a blog that I follow, and the blogmaster decided to try to put in a preview button. I found a site that had some code purporting to do just this

http://ramui.com/Java_script_code_ex...html-code.html

He pulled the code down and inserted it, making what appeared to be no significant changes.

The actual code used:
Code:

<script type="text/javascript">
function showPreview()
{
var s=document.getElementById('comment').value;
if((s.length>1000)||(s.length<1)){alert("Code length must be within 1 to 1000 characters."); return false;}
document.getElementById('commentpreview').innerHTML=s;
}
</script>

with the invoking code as:
Code:

<input type="button" value="Preview" onclick="javascript:showPreview()" />

Unfortunately, the preview strips all hard carriage returns and multiple spaces out. The result is one long paragraph that is more unreadable than the original.

What can be done to keep the formatting?

Code:

<script type='text/javascript' src='http://www.feedzilla.com/tools/swfobject.js'></script>
<script type='text/javascript'>
var flashvars = {id:'5018093150881',code:'flash',c:'',scroll:'v',prov:'news',cat:'Sports',cat2:'Basketball - NBA',width:'728',height:'90',num_articles:'10',show_summaries:'Yes',show_sources:'Yes',show_dates:'Yes',related_show:'No',vid:'',title:'',title_size:'12pt',title_bold:'Yes',keywords:'',url:'',headers_size:'14pt',font_size:'10pt',font_family:'Arial',text_alignment:'Left',space:'Yes',titlecolor:'#e53211',fcolor:'#000000',desccolor:'#ffffff',sourcecolor:'#e53211',datecolor:'#888888',bgcolor:'#000000',ref:document.location.href};
var params = {scale:'noscale',salign:'lt',bgcolor:'#000000'};
var attributes = {};
swfobject.embedSWF('http://www.feedzilla.com/widgets/news-widget.swf', 'Feedzilla_news_widget_501809963', '728', '90', '9.0.0','',flashvars, params, attributes);
</script>
<div id='Feedzilla_news_widget_501809963'></div>

That produces this:


I want to get rid of that strip on the bottom that says "Get This" which stretches all the way across. Is there anything I can change in that code to make this happen?

Hi all. New here as you can probably tell, and I have a problem...

I want to know how to find out the viewport height in IE. I have been trying to use document.body.clientHeight, which is supposedly exactly what I am after, but the results were always way too small to be the correct one.

As a test, I whacked a div in my page and made it 4000px tall, and ran document.body.clientHeight from IE's debugger and it returned a number over 4000px. It seems as thought clientHeight is actually returning the total height of the document, not the viewport size.

Thanks for any help.

Suppose we have following javascript codes: Case 1.

var foo = function ()
{
var x = "hello";
var bar = function () {
alert(x);

}
return bar;
}

var bar_ref= foo();

document.write(bar_ref()); // it pops up "hello" and print-outs "undefined".

If we modified above code slightly, shown as follow: Case 2.
var foo = function ()
{
var x = "hello";
var bar = function () {
alert(x);

}
return bar();
}

var bar_ref= foo();

document.write(bar_ref()); // it only pops up "hello".


As you can see, Case 2 modified the return value from "return bar" to "return bar()," which won't cause the "undefined" output. To me, it looks like when the JS interpreter executes the line "bar_ref();" it triggers the execution of function "foo", besides both "return bar" and "return bar()" do the same job which is to execute function body of "bar". The only difference is that after the execution of function bar, its function body does not exist anymore, so when the interpreter executes the line "return bar;" it follows the function identifier "bar" and ends up with "undefined". This is why the Case 1 gives us "undefined", but I am not quite clear about why the Case 2 can trace down to the function body of "bar". Do you have any ideas about such difference outputs?

This is my code and i have figured it to create an array from the prompt and then use the function to return the first array it finds but i cant seem to make it go on to the next index of the array. I know that when you return a value the function closes and i have tried to store my return in a variable but its not working the way i want it to or I'm not writing the correct command or is there away to do multiply returns, i think what i need to do is simply but i have been staring at this screen for a while now and just cant see it.

Please help me.
Thanks

Greetings all!

Im looking for some help regarding responseText, so please have a look im so mad right now because i have been struggeling for hours

XMLHttpRequestObject.responseText returns correct value when i do alert(XMLHttpRequestObject.responseText); see line

PHP Code:
var fnWhenDone = function (XMLHttpRequestObject) { alert(XMLHttpRequestObject.responseText); }; 


But problem is that i want to save down the response to a variable... so i try to change it into

PHP Code:
var fnWhenDone = function (XMLHttpRequestObject) { varTest = XMLHttpRequestObject.responseText; }; 


When i try to alert varTest later i get "Undifined"... im pretty new to javascript and have been stuck for hours ...


See full code below

PHP Code:

var myConn = new XHConn();

if (!myConn) { alert("XMLHTTP not available. Try a newer/better browser."); }

var fnWhenDone = function (XMLHttpRequestObject) { alert(XMLHttpRequestObject.responseText); };

myConn.connect("validateSearch.php", "POST", "foo=bar&baz=qux", fnWhenDone);


function XHConn()
{
  var xmlhttp, bComplete = false;
  try { xmlhttp = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP"); }
  catch (e) { try { xmlhttp = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP"); }
  catch (e) { try { xmlhttp = new XMLHttpRequest(); }

Hi all,

I have a simple XML file that looks something close to this:
Code:

<presence id="12345"> 
	<status>in a meeting</status> 
	<priority>1</priority> 
</presence> 
<x>
	<picture>blahblah</picture>
</x>
<x>
       <hash>string</hash>
</x>

I need javascript to pull the status from this file. Here's what I have for that:
Code:

<span id="login_status"></span>
<span id="secondlogin_status"></span>

<script type="text/javascript">
if (window.XMLHttpRequest)
  {// code for IE7+, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari
  xmlhttp=new XMLHttpRequest();
  }
else
  {// code for IE6, IE5
  xmlhttp=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
  }
  
xmlhttp.open("GET","https://www/user1.xml",false);
xmlhttp.send();
xmlDoc=xmlhttp.responseXML;
document.getElementById("login_status").innerHTML=
xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("status")[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue;
document.getElementById("priority").innerHTML=
xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("priority")[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue;


xmlhttp.open("GET","https://www/user2.xml",false);
xmlhttp.send();
xmlDoc=xmlhttp.responseXML;
document.getElementById("secondlogin_status").innerHTML=
xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("status")[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue;
document.getElementById("second_priority").innerHTML=
xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("priority")[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue;
</script>

Here's my problem: If my xml file only has the one "parent" (meaning:
Code:

<presence id="12345"> 
	<status>in a meeting</status> 
	<priority>1</priority> 
</presence>

)
this works WONDERFULLY. However, when the second and third "parents" are added (<x>), the script returns blank output in the spans.

I feel almost certain my issue is related to this:
http://codingforums.com/showthread.php?t=140810
but I've tried to switch that around but it doesn't seem to provide any different results.



If you require a bit more info on the project itself, here's a rundown:
This xml file is created by an internal chat app at my office. Each employee has their own xml file listing their current availability and status (hence "in a meeting"). This will be used to determine the availability of certain individuals in the building without having to be logged in to the chat app. That's why there's multiple xml files going to be used (roughly 10-15 in the end).

I know there is probably going to be an embarrassingly simple answer to my issue (like I am pointing to the wrong place in the DOM) but here goes. Why is the value of overflow not being returned by the below script?

Code:

<style type="text/css">

div.fbOverflow_Scroll { position:absolute; top:20px; left:20px; z-index:27; 
    overflow:scroll; overflow-x:hidden; height:30px; width:100px; 
    background-color:#FFB60D; border:1px Solid #000000; }
    
</style></head><body><form method='post' enctype='multipart/form-data' id='myForm' name='myForm'>

<!-- **** lab(Box10pt, fbOverflow_Scroll, , Extra=) -->
<div class='fbOverflow_Scroll' id='fbOverflow_Scroll' position=relative >
    This is stuff inside of a little scrolling area of the form</div>

<script language="JavaScript">
    alert(document.getElementById('fbOverflow_Scroll').style.overflow);
</script>

</form>

AJAX XMLHttpRequest responseText returns undefined but alert returns expected text.

Code:

function getFile(fileToOpen) {
	var xmlhttp;
	if (window.XMLHttpRequest) {
		// code for IE7+, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari
		xmlhttp=new XMLHttpRequest();
	} else if (window.ActiveXObject) {
		// code for IE6, IE5
		xmlhttp=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
	} else {
		alert("Your browser does not support XMLHTTP!");
	}
	xmlhttp.onreadystatechange = function() {
		if (xmlhttp.readyState==4) {
			//alert(xmlhttp.responseText);
			return xmlhttp.responseText;
		}
	}
	xmlhttp.open("GET",fileToOpen,true);
	xmlhttp.send(null);
}

Code:

document.getElementById('widgetOptionsShadow').innerHTML = '<div id="widgetOptions">' + getFile('/togglePauseInit.php?g=<?php echo $gadgetName; ?>') + '</div>';
