JavaScript - Looking For Advise On Javascript Functions
Hello,
Iam currently experimenting with Java Scripting and have hit a wall about the use of Functions. I am trying to create a difference function which would work out the difference between two numbers. e.g. 14 and 18 I am able to create a function and if statement to find the larger number of a argument but am having trouble writing one to find the difference between two numbers. Iam also confused (i know probably a silly question) but is the operator used the same for this function. Hope people can make sense of that. Thanks, Similar TutorialsHi guys, Just a simple question, Since we can't delete object created with document.createElement(), and just let javascript internal garbage collection do the work. I would much appreciate if anybody would advise me, whether we should nullify the object first, for complete deletion by this collector? Thanks for reading, and advising... Hendra. Hi there I've just completed a lovely slideshow script on my homepage. It works great in Firefox, but doesn't display at all in IE. It's on a live test page he http://www.modern-wedding-ideas.co.uk/index2.html I'm sure I'm just missing something really simple. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Also, this is a copy and paste job: I'm a newbie to javascript! So please be gentle. Many thanks Nicola Okay, here is my assignment: reate an HTML document with 2 JavaScript functions as described below. Call the document useparameters.html The first function will use a parameter for the Width of a horizontal rule. When called, the function will draw a horizontal rule of a width specified by the Functions argument. Prompt the user for the pixel width information. The second function will use parameters for two heading sizes. The parameters will be used for the size of the text that will be displayed on the first line and the size of the text that will be displayed on the second line. The heading size will be different on the first and second lines. Prompt the user for these two headings as well (one prompt for each). The body of the HTML document will contain a page heading and call the two functions you created, displaying a horizontal rule and two lines of text which will be formated based upon the parameters the user entered into the prompts. Here is my code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" /> <title>Use Parameters</title> <script type="text/javascript"> <!-- var hrsize var htwosize var psize function bar() { hrsize = window.prompt( "Please enter the size you want your horizontal rule to be (in pixels)", 50 ) hsize = hrsize document.write("<HR ALIGN='left' width=" + hrsize + ">"); } function output() { htwosize = window.prompt( "Please enter the size you want your heading to be (in pixels)", 18 ) htwosize = htwosize document.write("<h2" + htwosize + "/h2>") } function output() { psize = window.prompt( "Please enter the size you want your paragraphcs to be (in pixels)", 12 ) psize = psize document.write("<p" + psize + "/p>") } --> </script> </head><body> <script type="text/javascript"> <!-- bar(hrsize) output(htwosize) output (psize) --> </script> <h2>JavaScript Rules!</h2><p>Using JavaScript is fun! </p> <p> This is some standard HTML, unlike the above which was generated with javaScript.</p> </body> </html> What am I doing wrong? Forgive me if the code is rather bad, I am new to Javascript. Now what I'm aiming to do is after I have entered the contents of the Array's I then want to query the newly created array/database, based on the track number, Via a seprate function. However all the values I entered, always come up empty. No matter how many solutions I tried I can't get the query to work. So I've decided to come to you guys/gals for help. Code: mainMenu() function mainMenu() { menu = 0; menu = eval(prompt("Select an Operation to Continue\n ====================\n 1 - Create new Database\n 2 - Query Database\n 3 - Show Report\n Any other to exit")); switch (menu) { case 1: insert(trackNumber) break; case 2: query(trackNumber) break; case 3: break; } } // Enter the track number function trackNumber() { var theNumber = eval(prompt("Enter Track Number")); if ((theNumber >= 0) && (theNumber < 100)) { return theNumber; // Stores the track number for insert(trackNumber) } } // This function will allow the user via the (trackNumber) // parameter to insert the contents of the database function insert(trackNumber) { // Create new Array's trackNum = new Array(5) trackName = new Array(5) trackArtist = new Array(5) // For each Track we want to hold the trackNumber(), // the track name and the track's artist. for(var i = 0; i < trackNum.length; i++) { trackNum[i] = trackNumber() trackName[i]= prompt("Enter Track Name: " + i) trackArtist[i] = prompt("Enter Track Artist: " + i) } } // This Function will allow the user to query the database, based on track number. function query(trackNumber) { var trackSearch = trackNumber() var j = 0; for(j in query) { if (query[j] == trackSearch) { alert("Track Number: " + trackSearch + "\nTrack Name: " + trackName[j] + "\nTrack Artist " + trackArtist[j]); break; } else if (query[j] != trackSearch) { alert("Track Number: Empty" + "\nTrack Name: Empty" + "\nTrack Artist: Empty"); break; } } } If someone could please help me by posting some relevant code that would help accomplish this, I would greatly appreciate it, as so far I have been scratching my head puzzled, at how I could solve this. i am new to JavaScript and i have an assignment to create a tour calculator here is the code and its not working please help its urgent thanks.

This one is just on an exercise I am doing. I have to call a function using parameter values. my main function is this Code: function showResults(race,name,party,votes) or just function showResults in the next lines below i have to call the function is this the right way Code: <script type="text/javascript"> { showResults=("race[0],name1,party1,votes1"); } </script> or should it be without the { and } like this? Code: script type="text/javascript"> showResults=("race[0],name1,party1,votes1"); </script> or is it like this Code: script type="text/javascript"> showResults(race[0],name1,party1,votes1); </script> Thanks all, what would be the proper method Thanks All -- I have a JavaScript config file called gameSetting.js which contains a bunch of variables which configures a particular game. I also have a shared JavaScript library which uses the variables in gameSetting.js, which I include like so: <script type="text/javascript" src="gameSetting.js" ></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="gameLibrary.js" ></script> In gameSetting.js I have: $(document).ready(function() { // call some functions / classes in gameLibrary.js } in Firefox, Safari, and Chrome, this works fine. However, in IE, when it's parsing gameSetting.js, it complains that the functions that live in gameLibrary.js aren't defined. When it gets to parsing gameLibrary.js, the variables in gameSetting.js are reported as not being defined. I've tried dynamically bootstrapping the gameLibrary file using this function in document.ready for dynamic load... $.getScript("gameLibrary.js"); However, the same problem still happens in IE, where when it parses the files individually it's not taking into context the file/variables that came before, so it's not an out of load order problem. My options a 1) collapsing all the functions in gameLibrary.js and variables in gameSetting.js into one file. However, this is not practical because this is dealing with literally hundreds of games, and having a gameLibrary.js in ONE location for ONE update is what makes most logical sense. 2) figure out a way to get this to work where variables in file1 are accessible to file2 in IE (as it seems they are in other browsers). jQuery seems to be able to have multiple plugins that all refer to the based jQuery-1.3.2.js, so I know there is a way to get this to work. Help appreciated. Nero Hi, i was wondering if there was a way to call a nested javascript function directly, from outside of the function its nested in? for example, if i have the following functions: Code: <script type="text/javascript"> var test = function(){ var testInner = function(){ alert('testInner'); } } </script> can i then call the 'testInner' function directly from an onclick action something like this: Code: <a href="#" onclick="test.testInner()">TEST JS</a><br /><br /> That code is obviously not working for me, but is there something similar to what ive shown here that will work? Thanks in advanced Hi all, I've written the following script: Code: <!doctype html> <html> <head> <meta charset="utf-8"> <title>Keys2</title> <script type="text/javascript"> function keyPress(key){ document.getElementById('rect01').style.fill = "red"; } </script> <style> .button { width: 100px; padding-right:10px; height:2em; background-color:#FC3; border-radius:3px; color:#fff; font-weight:bold; } ul { list-style-type: none; padding: 0; margin-left:25px; } li { float:left; width:30px; margin-right:25px; padding:10px; height:2em; background-color:#FC3; font-size:xx-large; } </style> </head> <body> <div> <svg width="1000" height="200"> <rect x="25" y="50" fill="#FFFFFF" stroke="#000000" width="50" height="150" id="rect01"/> <rect x="100" y="50" fill="#FFFFFF" stroke="#000000" width="50" height="150" id="rect02"/> <rect x="175" y="50" fill="#FFFFFF" stroke="#000000" width="50" height="150" id="rect03"/> <rect x="250" y="50" fill="#FFFFFF" stroke="#000000" width="50" height="150" id="rect04"/> <rect x="325" y="50" fill="#FFFFFF" stroke="#000000" width="50" height="150" id="rect05"/> <rect x="400" y="50" fill="#FFFFFF" stroke="#000000" width="50" height="150" id="rect06"/> <rect x="475" y="50" fill="#FFFFFF" stroke="#000000" width="50" height="150" id="rect07"/> <rect x="550" y="50" fill="#FFFFFF" stroke="#000000" width="50" height="150" id="rect08"/> </svg> </div> <div> <ul> <li><a href="#" class="button" onClick="keyPress(rect01);">A</a></li> <li><a href="#" class="button" onClick="keyPress(rect02);">B</a></li> <li><a href="#" class="button" onClick="keyPress(rect03);">C</a></li> <li><a href="#" class="button" onClick="keyPress(rect04);">D</a></li> <li><a href="#" class="button" onClick="keyPress(rect05);">E</a></li> <li><a href="#" class="button" onClick="keyPress(rect06);">F</a></li> <li><a href="#" class="button" onClick="keyPress(rect07);">G</a></li> <li><a href="#" class="button" onClick="keyPress(rect08);">H</a></li> </ul> </div> </body> </html> Now, I could write a version of the keypress function for each rectangle, but that seems like poor coding. Can anyone point out how I might restructure the function or the code so that I can pass the number in the onClick to the rectangle it refers to? Thanks Hello folks: I've got an html table populated by a php foreach routine. One field in this table is an Input type=checkbox. The goal is to run a javascript function when the user checks the checkbox. But, since the checkbox is in a table populated by a foreach routine, I'm having some problems. Below is the applicable code for my table: <?php foreach($results as $row) { $bk_owner = $row['BookOwner']; $addrss_owner = $row['AddressOwner']; $f_name = $row['FName']; $l_name = $row['LName']; $email = $row['EmailAddress']; $d_phone = $row['DeskPhone']; $ext = $row['Ext']; $cell = $row['CellPhone']; $title = $row['Title']; echo "<tr>"; echo "<td class='a'>".$l_name ."</td>"; echo "<td class ='a'>".$f_name ."</td>"; echo "<td class ='c'>".$email ."</td>"; echo "<td class ='a'>".$d_phone ."</td>"; echo "<td class='b'>".$ext."</td>"; echo "<td class='a'>".$cell."</td>"; echo "<td class='c'>".$title."</td>"; echo "<td class='b'><input type='checkbox' id='chk_Bx' value=". $addrss_owner. " onClick='selectFunction()'></input></td>"; echo "</tr>"; } echo"</tbody>"; ?> Specifically, note this line: echo "<td class='b'><input type='checkbox' id='chk_Bx' value=". $addrss_owner. " onClick='selectFunction()'></input></td>"; the value is set to $address_owner. This value is a primary key value and will allow me to run routines related to the record chosen when the checkbox is checked. Following is the javascript code for selectFunction(): function selectFunction(){ var check = document.getElementById("chk_Bx").checked; var val = document.getElementById("chk_Bx").value; alert(val); } At this point the javascript is very simple. All I'm trying to do is pick up applicable values for the record selected. But - I believe because the table is populated through a foreach loop, the javascript alert is returning the same primary key value for every record checked (or unchecked). Also, if I alert out check, it continually returns false, even if I've checked the box and it should read true. I am assuming this is also related to the foreach table presentation. How do I grab ONLY the primary key value, or checked true/false for the applicable record? Thanks in advance: Pavilion I am currently designing a table as such Code: ___________________________ | TABLE | | | FRAME A |___________________________| | last row clicked | FRAME B |___________________________| the top frame is a table and the bottom frame contains the last row clicked called through onclick. question: if frame B is a php file with a javascript object, how do i call the javascript object's function to print the data? here is what i have so far index.html //this is the source code for the site Code: <html> <frameset rows = "60%, 40%"> <frame src = "table_driver.php" name = "A" id = "FRAME1"> <frame src = "bottom_row.php" name = "B" id = "FRAME2"> </frameset> </html> printJSTable() //prints the table shown in frame A Code: function printJSTable() { echo '<script src = "java_script.js"></script>'; echo '<script src="sorttable.js"></script>'; echo '<table class = "sortable" id = "myTable" border = "1">'; echo '<thead id = "header"><tr>'; foreach($this->columns as $header => $order) { echo '<th>'; echo $header; echo '</th>'; } echo '</tr></thead><tbody>'; $counter = 0; for($i = 0; $i < $this->numRows; $i++) { //IMPORTANT changeRow(this) is JS call echo '<tr onclick = "changeRow(this)" onmouseover = "mouseOver(this)" onmouseout = "mouseOut(this)">'; foreach($this->data[$i] as $key => $value) { echo '<td>'; if($value!="") echo $value; else { echo ''; } $counter++; echo '</td>'; } echo '</tr>'; } echo '</tbody></table>'; echo '<form><input id = "'.$this->numRows.'"type = "button" value = "add row" onclick = "addRow(id)"></form>'; } and this is changeRow(this) which is supposed to create the table in frame b Code: //populates headersArr and rowArr correctly parent.B.obj = new TableData(headersArr, rowArr); parent.B.obj.printTable(); here are the function definitions for TableData Code: function TableData(headers, row) { this.headerArr = headers; this.rowArr = row; } TableData.prorotype.printTable = function() { for(i=0; i<this.headerArr.length; i++) { document.write('<tr><th>'); document.write(this.headerArr[i]); document.write('</th><td>'); document.write(this.rowArr[i]); document.write('</td></tr>'); } } and then, finally, this is the php file for the bottom frame Code: <html> <head> <link rel = "stylesheet" type = "text/css" href = "style.css"/> <script type = "text/javascript" src="java_script.js"></script> </head> <body> <script> obj = new TableData; </script> </body> </html> what i want to do is populate the variable obj from ^ (bottom_row.php) and then use the print function to print it out. right now it is populating correclt,y but i cant get it to print. The error console says that Value undefined (result of expression parent.B.obj.printTable) is not object. ?? sry for all the code! just didnt want to leave anything out thanks!

Hi I've set up an html page that contains 3 buttons, which have a sprite rollover effect when hovered over. This is handled by css. When one of the buttons is clicked - a value is passed to an input field. This is handled by Javascript. Both of these functions work. What I would like to do is add a second function when a button is clicked - so that the hover sprite remains selected. Could anyone tell me how to do this please? Here is the button code I have: <button type="button" class="fantasy_button_blue_sprite" id="mcgyver" value="mcgyver" onclick="setHiddenControlValue('option1');">next</button> Here is the input field that gets populated: <input type="<?php echo $type;?>" id="fantasy_friend" name="fantasy_friend" value="<?php echo $fantasy_friend; ?>"> This is the javascript I'm using: <!-- // set the hidden form field when a button is clicked function setHiddenControlValue(selectedValue) { document.getElementById("fantasy_friend").value = selectedValue; parent.document.options_form.their_firstname.value=selectedValue; } And this is the sprite css: .fantasy_button_green_sprite { background: transparent url("/images/align_page/fantasy_button1.jpg") 0 1px no-repeat; height:61px; width:164px; border:none; text-indent:-99999px; cursor: pointer; margin-top:20px; } .fantasy_button_green_sprite:hover { background: transparent url("/images/align_page/fantasy_button1.jpg") 0 -61px no-repeat; } Thanks! Tom --> hey all, I am now at the point of being able to see the light at the end of the tunnel (woot!). After a lot of help from you guys I have tackled my RSS feed issue (sort of) to the point where i have a page that does basically what I need it to (http://www.the-rational-investor.com/test042311.php/). I now need to incorporate this java script developed into the big picture and of course, there seems to be problems. Since I know it works on its own, I must be running into problems getting all the functions working simultaneously and I once again need to call on the board's brilliance in figuring out what I am doing wrong....so here it goes I have taken out a lot of unnecessary code just to focus on the java script.

Before the first lesson it says Quote: You should be comfortable with loops, if statements, functions, and objects before attempting this course. Can someone explain what these are or point me in the direction where I can find the answers? I tried searching with google, but I havent found anything that clearly states what exactly the loop, object, etc. is. Q1. write a function called countAS that will take a string as input (using a prompt dialog box,prompt the user or the string).the string must contain only a's,b's and c's e.g. "abccbbaa" or "aaabbbccc" if any other letters are present apart from the letters a b c, output an alert dialog box with an error message and prompt the user again to input a valid string.count the number of a's the numbers of b's and the numbers of c's entered and display the count for each as well as a total count of all the characters within the string . for example if the string was abbcc output should be as follows: the total count is 5 characters The Number of a's is 1 The Number of b's is 2 The Number of c's is 2 Q2. write a code that uses an event handler to display an alert dialog box with the message 'hello to you all' when a user clicks a link in a html page which links to the school of computing website. I am trying to do a custom add to cart to use with paypal and need to utilize javascript to achieve inserting some code or a weight value per the paypal forms' options choice. Here is my dilemma, All of my items have multiple weights, for instance the below example called Aqua Max 100 comes in .5lbs, 1.5lbs., 10lbs., 20lbs., and 50lbs. Paypal allows you to enter weight but it's one weight per item and I would have to create 5 Paypal buttons just for this one item to calculate the different weights per zip code. I need help making javascript insert the following code within the paypal forms' code upon option select before clicking submit? <input type="hidden" name="weight" value=".5"> <input type="hidden" name="weight_unit" value="lbs"> <input type="hidden" name="weight" value="1.5"> <input type="hidden" name="weight_unit" value="lbs"> <input type="hidden" name="weight" value="10 <input type="hidden" name="weight_unit" value="lbs"> <input type="hidden" name="weight" value="20 <input type="hidden" name="weight_unit" value="lbs"> <input type="hidden" name="weight" value="50 <input type="hidden" name="weight_unit" value="lbs"> The code I came up with is wrong as I'm getting an error but I was originally trying to make it enter a weight using a hidden fillable number and without any real javascript training, just alot of googling but I think I'm pretty close. Please take a look at the code I've came up with so far and maybe point me in the correct direction: <html> <body> <form target="paypal" action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post"> <input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_cart"> <input type="hidden" name="business" value="test@test.com"> <input type="hidden" name="currency_code" value="USD"> <input type='hidden'text' name='amt' id='amt' value="0.00"/> <table> <tr> <td> <input type="text" name="on0" value="Aqua Max 100">Aqua Max 100</td></tr> <tr><td> <select name="os0" onChange="getamt()"> <option value="select">Please Select</option> <option value="1/2 lb.">1/2 lb. $3.99 USD</option> <option value="1 - 1/2 lbs">1 - 1/2 lbs $7.59 USD</option> <option value="10 lbs.">10 lbs. $25.80 USD</option> <option value="20 lbs.">20 lbs. $42.75 USD</option> <option value="50 lbs.">50 lbs. $86.20 USD</option> </select></td></tr> </table> <script type="text/javascript"> function getamt() { var sh=0; var choice = document.getElementById("os0").selectedIndex; if (choice == 0) { sh=0; } if (choice == 1) { sh=.5; } if (choice == 2) { sh=1.5; } if (choice == 3) { sh=10; } if (choice == 4) { sh=20 } if (choice == 5) { sh=50.00; } document.getElementById("on0").value=sh; } </script> <input type="image" src="https://images.paypal.com/images/sc-but-03.gif" border="0" name="submit" alt="PayPal - The safer, easier way to pay online!" /> <img alt="" border="0" src="https://www.paypalobjects.com/en_US/i/scr/pixel.gif" width="1" height="1"> </form> </body> </html> Hi, I haven't really done any JavaScript programming and need help writing a couple of functions for a very basic sudoku game I am trying to build.
