JavaScript - Need Help With An Prompt To Array In A While Loop
my assignment
----------------------------------- write a while loop that prompts user to enter name add their names to an array if they enter "exit" end the prompting sort array and list in sorted order ----------------------------------- this is what i got so far. sooo confused because i cant get the user input into an array. error console says i need ";" before the "var names[loopCounter] = prompt("enter","");" confused about this also var names = new Array(); var loopCounter; loopCounter = 0; while (names != "exit") { var names[loopCounter] = prompt("enter name",""); loopCounter++ } var i; names.sort(); for (i=0;i<names.length;i++) { document.write(names[i] + "<br>"); } Similar TutorialsI am new to learning JS and am trying to create an array through a prompt. It seems to work, but I believe it is treating the prompted numbers as strings not numbers. I am parsing the negatives and zeros, and positives and counting them. It doesn't recognize the negative sign. Here's my js: function counter() { var numArr = new Array(Number(prompt("Please enter and array of numbers, in any order, separated by a comma..." + '\n' + "In the following format: -2,0,2"))); var positives = 0; var negatives = 0; var zeros = 0; for (var i = 0; i < numArr.length; i++) { switch (true) { case numArr[i] < 0: negatives++; break; case numArr[i] == 0: zeros++; break; case numArr[i] > 0: positives++; break; } } alert("You entered:"+ '\n' + "Number of Negatives: " + negatives + '\n' + "Number of Zeros: " + zeros + '\n' + "Number of Positives: " + positives); } counter(); Any suggestions? Hi.. I should warn, i know almost nothing about javascript. . i've been trying read sample scripts and examples on how to modify this script; but I just don't know enough. I have a script that pulls data from an array, and copies it directly to the clipboard when a user clicks on it. The problem is this only works in IE, because Firefox doesn't by default allow that to happen. I'm trying to change it so that when it is clicked, instead, it takes what was going to be copied to the clipboard, and puts it in a Prompt box for the user to copy and paste. I had other scripts that do that, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to learn from it! This is the function in the current script Code: <script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
<!--
function selectThis(src) {
document.selection.clear;
txt = eval(src +".innerText");
theObj = document.all(txt);
txtRange = document.body.createTextRange();
txtRange.moveToElementText(eval(src));
txtRange.select();
txtRange.execCommand("RemoveFormat");
txtRange.execCommand("Copy");
alert(txt + " '.$caption[ 'paste' ].'");
}
-->
</script>
';
}
and this is the onclick code Code: ';
foreach ( $ausgabe as $key => $data) {
if ( $key == '' )
continue;
if ( ( $_GET[ 'group' ] != '*' )
&& ( $this->info[ $key ][ 'xx_data' ] != $_GET[ 'group' ] ) )
continue;
$tpack = $this->info[ $key ][ 'pack' ];
$tname = $this->info[ $key ][ 'xx_desc' ];
$jsid= $nick2.'_'.$tpack;
if ( isset( $this->info[ $key ][ 'xx_lock' ] ) ) {
if ( $this->hide_locked > 0 )
continue;
$tname .= ' (gesperrt)';
}
$tname = htmlspecialchars( $tname);
if ( $javascript > 0 ) {
$tname = '<span class="selectable" onclick="javascript:selectThis(\''.
$jsid.'\');">'.
$tname."</span>\n".
'<span id="'.$jsid.'" class="hidden">'.
'/msg '.$this->nick.' xdcc send '.$tpack."</span>\n";
}
if ( isset( $this->info[ $key ][ 'xx_note' ] ) )
$tname .= '<br>'.$this->info[ $key ][ 'xx_note' ];
$label = "Download mit:\n/msg ".$this->nick.' xdcc send '.$tpack."\n";
if ( isset( $this->info[ $key ][ 'xx_md5' ] ) )
$label .= " \nmd5: ".$this->info[ $key ][ 'xx_md5' ];
if ( isset( $this->info[ $key ][ 'xx_crc' ] ) )
$label .= " \ncrc32: ".$this->info[ $key ][ 'xx_crc' ];
echo '
<tr>
<td class="right">#'.$tpack.'</td>
<td class="right">'.$this->info[ $key ][ 'xx_gets' ].'</td>
<td class="right">'.makesize($this->info[ $key ][ 'size' ]).'</td>
<td class="content" title="'.$label.'">'.$tname.'</td>
</tr>

I've spent days at trying to customize it.. but.. i'm not a programmer I was able to get it to open a prompt box, and had it populate with ("copy this code", $variable), but cannot figure out how to have it display the proper values that was clicked on. I have no idea though what is considered efficient either in the code. I hope this isn't considered asking for TOO much help.... Hello, I have a homework assignment to complete and I don't understand 2 particular parts. I need to design a game that does the following: Based on assignment 3, write a program that allows you and the computer to take turns and guess each other's secret number (between 1 and 100); Requirements: * You and your opponent (computer) take turns to guess. * You and your opponent gives simple hints like in assignment 3 for each round. * Show how many rounds have passed. * Keep guessing record and display it to assist the game play. The guessing of the numbers needs to be simultaneous, and the professor wants us to use a while loop and an array. It is based on a previous assignment, in which we designed a program that would ask the user to guess a number between 1-100 that the computer generated. The user is prompted by alerts that say "too high" or "too low" and then is told when they guess correctly. This I understand, but I am confused about how to modify it to fit the new assignment. Here is the code I have: Code: <html>

Obviously it doesn't work. My questions a 1.) How can I use an array to display the guesses? 2.) How can I use a while loop to allow the computer and user to take turns guessing each other's numbers? I'm sorry if these are too broad--I genuinely do not know how to proceed from here. I'm going to (hopefully) see the professor to ask these questions as well, but I thought I'd ask here just in case our schedules can't match up. Thank you in advance! I have a checkbox with an id="chk" and a html table (myTable) loaded from a query where one of the columns is the record status (td id="RecStatus"). When I click the checkbox "on", I'm calling a function that I want to go through all records in the table and hide the ones with a RecStatus of "closed". Here's what I have thus far; I know I'm very close but I'm having issues building my array. Code: function killSomeRows(){
var cell=document.getElementById("RecStatus");
var tbl=document.getElementById("myTable");
var numRows=tbl.rows.length;
var row=document.getElementById("displayRow");
var i=0
//myArray is set to the # of Rows in my table
var myArray = new Array(numRows);
//I start my for loop and this is where I am lost
for (i=0; i<=numRows; i++){
//In here I want to go through each row in my table and if the "RecStatus" cell = 'Closed' and my checkbox.checked==true, I want to change the style.display = 'none'.
//else I want those rows with a RecStatus of 'Closed' to be visible
//using style.display = ''
if (RecStatus == 'Closed' && chk.checked==true)
document.getElementById(row where status is closed).style.display = 'none';
else
document.getElementById(row where status is closed).style.display = '';
}
}
I can get it to hide the 1st record in the table if that record is closed when I click/unclick the checkbox but it appears I do not have the array set up and then the for loop is not going through each record in the array. I'm at a loss....I'm very new to javascript and have been looking at this all day. Any help is appreciated...thanks Cypress HI, I am new to JavaScript and need help with a code //names of couples stored in array var contestantNamesArray = ['Tom and Nazia', 'Pat and Dan', 'Sandra and Kofi', 'Ian and Adele', 'Paul and Costas']; //points awarded by judges and audience stored in arrays var judgesPointsArray = [2,1,5,4,3]; var audiencePointsArray = [4,5,2,3,1]; //Part (i)(a) //new array to store the combined points for each couple var combinedPointsArray = new Array (4); //Part (i)(b) //loop to add the judges and the audience points for each couple and to store them in the combined points array for (var score = 0; score < combinedPointsArray.length; score = score + 1) { combinedPointsArray[score] = judgesPointsArray[score] + audiencePointsArray[score]; } //Part(i)(c) //loop to find and write out the maximum number of points scored maxPointsScoredIndex = 0; for (var score = 1; score < combinedPointsArray.length; score = score + 1) { if (combinedPointsArray[score] > combinedPointsArray[maxPointsScoredIndex]) { maxPointsScoredIndex = score; } } document.write ('The maximum number of points was ' + combinedPointsArray[maxPointsScoredIndex] + '<BR>'); //Part (iii) //Add code that will // -- write out a heading for the list of couples scoring the maximum // -- write out the names of all the couples with the maximum number of combined points // keeping score of how many they are // -- at the end, write out whether a dance-off is required or not, depending on how many couples scored the maximum It's the third part that I'm struggling with.

it has something to do with eval... whats eval? sigh I hate arrays this is so confusing to try and read >< I am having a hard time figuring this out, I have two simple arrays and I want to populate one by asking a visitor to enter information, it goes something like this... Code: var country = new Array(5);
c_list[0] = "USA";
c_list[1] = "UK";
c_list[2] = "France";
c_list[3] = "Germany";
c_list[4] = "Spain";
var president = new Array(); // Last name only
president[0] = window.prompt("President of USA?", ""); // Obama
president[1] = window.prompt("Prime Minister of UK?", ""); // Brown
president[2] = window.prompt("President of France?", ""); // Sarkozy
president[3] = window.prompt("Prime Minister of Germany?", ""); // Merkel
president[4] = window.prompt("President of Spain?", ""); // Zapatero
Now the question is, how do I use a simple for loop to use the names entered and populate the second array? Any help would be very kindly appreciated. Thank you Hi, I know this is painfully obvious, but I can't get my head around it. Basically, these loops: Code: for (var p=0; p < routeInfo.length; p++) {
times = routeInfo[p].getElementsByTagName("time");
dirs = routeInfo[p].getElementsByTagName("dirs");
dist = routeInfo[p].getElementsByTagName("dist");
for (q=0;q<dirs.length;q++) {
count++;
time = GXml.value(routeInfo[p].getElementsByTagName("time")[q]);
dir = GXml.value(routeInfo[p].getElementsByTagName("dirs")[q]);
dist = GXml.value(routeInfo[p].getElementsByTagName("dist")[q]);
if (time.length>1) {
way+='<div class="dir">'+count+'. '+dir+'</div>'+'<div class="results"><div class="time">'+time+'</div><div class="dist">'+dist+'</div><br><br>';
}
else way+='<div class="dir">'+count+'. '+dir+'</div><br>';
}
}
outputs lines of text, with two <br> between them. What I want is for if it's the last loop for that only to be one <br> so I'm thinking something like this: Code: if (last loop) {end =<br>}
else end=<br><br>
...
way+='<div class="dir">'+count+'. '+dir+'</div>'+'<div class="results"><div class="time">'+time+'</div><div class="dist">'+dist+'</div>'+end;
but I can't figure out what that "last loop" code should be. Any ideas? I'm new to Javascript and having some difficulty understanding why I cannot get this code to continuously loop the captions in the array on the screen. The first caption in the array with appear, hold as per the setTimeout cycle and then disappear, but the next caption never comes up. Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

I'm sure this is probably a simple fix, or at least I hope it is. So any assistance is appreciated. Thank you All I am trying to pull the data from an array and place it in a table. If I assign index 0 it works as desired. I then placed it inside a foor loop and changed the index to a variable and I get "undefined". Here is the code snipet: document.write("<table width='500'>"); document.write("<tr><td width='75%'>Product:</td><td width='25%' align='center'>Cost</td></tr>"); for (i=0; i<(itemPrice.length); i++); { document.write("<tr><td>" + itemName[i] + "</td><td align='right'>" + itemPrice[i] + "</td></tr>"); totalcost = totalcost + itemPrice[i]; } document.write("<tr><td>The total is:</td><td align='right'>" +"$ "+totalcost+ "</td></tr>"); document.write("</table>"); compared to some of the samples I have seen I apologize if this is too elementary. rneaul I'm just a beginner with JS and having trouble with the code for my array and FOR loop. I'd like the names of these animals to be listed on separate lines. Am I way off here? I wasn't sure if the for statement had to be within a function. I've spent hours trying to figure this out and appreciate any help. <script type="text/javascript"> var animal = new Array(4); animal[0] = "dog"; animal[1] = "cat"; animal[2] = "bird"; animal[3] = "rabbit"; var counter = 0; function writeAnimal () { for (var counter = 0; counter== 4; counter++) { document.write(animal[0]); document.write("<br />"); } } </script> Hi, I have this loop: Code: for (var j = 0; j < gmarkers.length; j++) {
gmarkers[j].hide();
elabels[j].hide();
map.closeInfoWindow();
var str=gmarkers[j].myname.toLowerCase();
var patt1=inp;
if (str.match(patt1))
{
found = true;
gmarkers[j].show();
count++;
var p=j;
}
}
which was useful for passing the p variable when it was just one number. but now I need to get that number every time j gets set (I understand that the j gets overwritten each time the loop goes through). What would be ideal is if p could become an array, the contents of which match the values that j has passed though during the loop cycle. I thought var p = new Array (j); minght do the trick, but obviously not... I hope that I'm explaining it OK, and that it's possible, and that somebody has an idea how to do it... ok so I am trying to create a function that creates an array comprised of filenames based on a given range. I.E if 2-8 is selected and a foldername of UMCP/ and a common name of college is also given, the function should return and array such as [UMCP/college2.jpg,UMCP/college3.jpg.....UMCP/college8.jpg]. Here is what I've got but the alert that should tell me the filename of the first image says it is undefined, how can i fix this? Code: function getArrayPhotosNames (total,count,first,last) {
/*window.alert("get Array Photo Names");*/
var folderName = document.getElementById("photofold").value;
var Alias = document.getElementById("commonName").value;
for (var i=0; i>=total; i+=1) {
var imageNum = i+first;
var filename = folderName + Alias + imageNum + ".jpg";
window.alert("image will be stored as"+filename);
photosArrayGlobal[i]= filename;
}
window.alert("the first photo is" +photosArrayGlobal[0]);
var countnum = count.value;
if (count === 0) {
window.alert("randomize time")
var randomArray = photosArrayGlobal.sort( randomize() );
var randomPhoto= document.getElementById("myImage");
randomPhoto.setAttribute("src", randomArray[photoIndexGlobal]);
}
else {
var firstPhoto=document.getElementById("myImage");
firstPhoto.setAttribute("src", photosArrayGlobal[photoIndexGlobal])
}
}
I'm hoping someone can help correct a small problem with this script, which is intended to highlight particular text strings. Background: The script is being used at a MediaWiki site, and is adapted from a working script from Wikipedia (highlightmyname.js). The original script highlights the logged-in user's username (represented by wgUserName). I've made a copy of the script, which you can see in full here, and adapted it to work on a pre-defined array of names, adding: Code: var Admin; var ArrayAdmins = ['Adam', 'Axiomist', 'Matt', 'Steve']; for (Admin in ArrayAdmins) I also replaced each instance of wgUserName with ArrayAdmins[Admin] The problem: is that, instead of highlighting all instances of every element in ArrayAdmins, only the last element listed ('Steve') is being used. So my question is, what change(s) need to be made to apply function highlightmyname to every element in ArrayAdmins? Any help would be hugely appreciated! I wrote js functions to reset a php form (multiple questions). The below works: Code: function resetForm(){
resetGroup(document.forms[0].answer1);
resetGroup(document.forms[0].answer2);
}
Answer1 and answer2 are the elements of $_POST array. (<input name="answer1"> in php). In this example, I tried with only two questions, but I have up to 35 questions in one form. Instead of writing the above resetGroup() 35 times, I want to for-loop it. I tried Code: function resetForm(){
for (var i=1; i<3; i++){
resetGroup(document.forms[0]."answer"+i);
}
That didn't work. Could someone help me to make the loop work? Or would someone have better or simpler idea? Thanks. Hi Having a small problem with writing out the matches from an array using a For loop. I have two arrays, lets say arrayA and arrayB. In arrayB are numbers which are a number of miles, ie 1,2,6,4,5,6,6. And in arrayA are the days of the week. Each day of the week is associated with a mileage, ie Mon = 1, Tues = 2 etc. My script has found the largest mileage in arrayB. Next I have to find the days of the week that match this highest mileage and write these out, along the lines of "The highest mileage was 6 run on Wed, Sat, Sun." I have managed to get a For loop to work with this BUT..... I can only get it to write out the first instance of the day the match is found. ie "The highest mileage was 6 run on Wed," Pointers in the right direction to help me solve this problem would be much appreciated. [CODE] maximumDistanceIndex = 0; for (var distance = 1; distance < distanceArray.length; distance = distance + 1) { if (distanceArray[distance] > distanceArray[maximumDistanceIndex] ) { maximumDistanceIndex = distance document.write ('The maximum distance was ' + maximumDistance + ' km' + ' run on ' + dayArray[maximumDistanceIndex] ); } } [CODE] Ok javascript gurus, could someone help me out with a simple script? I have an array that I want to loop through and display the values of the array on the page as it loops (so I guess there should be a slight delay before the next one appears over it). I want to loop though until a button is clicked. Help? Okay, I am taking a js class and there is one minor bug that is driving me crazy with this assignment. First, here is the code I wrote, then my question: Code: var games = ["Jacks","Chutes and Ladders","Extreme Uno","Bopit","Barbie Doll"];
var price = [4.00,15.99,25.00,27.99,32.00];
var inventory = [40,15,30,20,40];
//I could not figure out how to make this work without assigning values first. It was giving NaN.
var subtotal = [0,0,0,0,0];
var qtySold = [0,0,0,0,0];
function chooseItem() {
var answer = 0;
while (answer != 6) {
var orderForm = "Choose a number below:\n";
for (var i=0; i<games.length; i++) {
orderForm = orderForm + (i + 1) + ".) " + games[i] + ": # in stock: " + inventory[i] + "\n";
}
orderForm = orderForm + "6.) Show Sales Summary";
answer = prompt(orderForm);
answer = parseFloat(answer);
if(answer != 6 && answer >= 1 && answer < games.length+1) {
var qty = prompt("How many " + games[answer-1] + " would you like?");
qtySold[answer-1] = parseFloat(qtySold[answer-1]) + parseFloat(qty);
subtotal[answer-1] = qtySold[answer-1] * price[answer-1];
} else if (answer < 1 || answer > 6) {
alert("Invalid Answer");
} else {
alert("Click OK to see your summary:");
}
}
var summary = "Your Sales: \n";
for (var j=0; j<qtySold.length; j++) {
summary = summary + qtySold[j] + " " + games[j] + " at " + currency(price[j]) + " each for a total of " + currency(subtotal[j]) + "\n";
}
alert(summary);
}
So basically, the arrays subtotal and qtySold need to retain values in case the "customer" chooses to add more of the same item in each order. What you see above works; however, when I alert the summary, it lists all of the items, even if there were none ordered. It simply says 0, but that is not what I want. Basically, I only want the total to reflect only the items that were actually selected. I do not what to do it this way: Code: var subtotal = [0,0,0,0,0]; var qtySold = [0,0,0,0,0]; I can effectively do this by NOT assigning any values to the qtySold array in the beginning: i.e. doing it this way: Code: var subtotal = new Array(); var qtySold = new Array(); The only problem is that when I do this, I get NaN at this point: Code: qtySold[answer-1] = parseFloat(qtySold[answer-1]) + parseFloat(qty); subtotal[answer-1] = qtySold[answer-1] * price[answer-1]; obviously, this is because I am referencing qtySold[answer-1] directly in the loop - so the first time through, there is nothing assigned. I can't (just before this line) assign 0 to each array item - to get it defined because if the user goes back in and adds more, it will always reset the number back to 0, which is not what I wanted. I tried adding an if..else statement instead, but cannot figure out how to get that to work? What are my options here? Thanks! Mike How do i use html forms in the same way as prompts? I want to do something like this: Code: <html>
<head>

var ram= prompt("What brand of RAM would you like?");

</script>
</body>
</html>
But instead of having a notification box, I want a form. Is this possible? I dont like how it pops up... Code: <script>
var name = prompt('What\'s your name?');
function myOnLoad()
{
document.getElementsByTagName('name').innerHTML = name;
}
</script>
<body onLoad="myOnLoad()">
This person's name is <name></name>.<br>
<name></name> is someone who has just passed thorought this page.<br>
Say bye to <name></name>!
How come this code doesn't work? |
